Keep Player Down

[Dielos]

For a short scene, I'm trying to get the player to play dead for a short while, but I'm failing miserably. I can't find any idle that works.

 

I tried with idles, but those that seem to do what I want don't seem to work with the player. I also tried PushActorAway, and although it works, the player character stands up straight away even when controls disabled.

 

I found in the player actor window, animations tab, a havok anim file called DeathPose2.hkt, which would be perfect for what I need, but I just can't figure out how to force it to play.

 

Any idea how I could do this?

So you want the player to be 'dead', but still conscious? Seems like there's a cutscene command for freezing the player in place. If they player isn't going to be conscious, just fade to black...

There is a fade to black already, but I'd like the player to see himself standing up after fade out. He's just standing there at the moment. PushActorAway kinda works, but it's too fast and sometimes pushes him behind a wall.

 

That freezing in player command sounds interesting. Will look for it. Thanks!
