Linedef type 437

Linedef type 437, Disable Player Control, is a type of linedef executor which, when triggered by a player, disables that player's controls temporarily. Players can still be moved by external effects, but will not be able to move by themselves.

Setup

The tag given to this linedef is irrelevant. The amount of time the effect lasts, in tics, is determined by the linedef's front texture X offset. Giving the linedef Flag [6] / Not Climbable allows the player to jump while affected.

Sample

Example file: ex_ld437_disableplayercontrol.wad (MAP01)

Stepping on the blue floor will disable the player's movement but still allow jumping. Stepping on the yellow floor will disable the player's controls for two seconds and then give them back. Stepping on the red floor will disable the player's controls permanently.

How to use
You may load this file into your favorite map editor, such as Zone Builder. Select `MAP01` as the map to load. You may also load this file in the game: Save `ex_ld437_disableplayercontrol.wad` into the `addons` folder of your SRB2 directory. Start SRB2, go to the Addons menu, and then select `ex_ld437_disableplayercontrol.wad`. Start the game in Single Player mode. Press the Console button (`~`), and type in the command `MAP MAP01` to access the example map. When you load this file in the game, it replaces Greenflower Zone Act 1.
