Yeah sorry i readed nr 1 in a hurry im just tryng to detect every player when hes walking or not and disable lean when the player is not walking.
So its basically the other way like dmflag NO_LEAN works.

I know how to open the state file and read things in it. But what do you mean by using it?
I have used it for weaponswapping and recoilchecking but idk what u mean with using the state file for getting the movement from a player.

Have found a little script here: http://www.modtheater.com/threads/ra...6/#post-316904

Will try to make something...

EDIT: Im still getting the error:

Code:

local.position = local.player getposition  (global/nolean.scr, 4)
local.position = local.player ^

^~^~^ Script Error: command 'getposition' applied to NULL listener

local.movement = local.player getmovement (global/nolean.scr, 5)
local.movement = local.player ^

^~^~^ Script Error: command 'getmovement' applied to NULL listener

How can i fix that? I just want to detect when a player is walking/crouching..

Code im using:

Code:

while(1)
{
local.position = local.player getposition 
local.movement = local.player getmovement

if(local.position == crouching)
{
println "im crouching"
$player stufftext "+leanleft; +leanright"
wait 0.3
}

else
waitframe
}

The variable 'local.player' was never assigned an entity or anything, so it is NIL by default.

In a multiplayer context $player is not an entity, rather $player is an array of entities.
It will, however, stay NULL, as long as no players have entered the game.
If all players leave the round/level, it'll still be an array, but it'll have a size of 0.

So it should look more like:

Code:

main:
      while !($player) 
             wait 1
      
      while(1) {
           for (local.i = 1; local.i <= $player.size; local.i++) {
                if ($player[local.i].nolean == NIL) {
                    thread nolean $player[local.i]
                }
           }
      }
end

nolean local.player:
      local.player.nolean = 1
      while (local.player) {
            local.position = local.player getposition
            if (local.position == "crouching") {
                 println "im crouching"
                 local.player stufftext "+leanleft;+leanright"
                 wait 0.3
            }
            else {
                 waitframe
            }
       }
end

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, though. At the moment, anyone who crouches even once will have their leaning disabled.

You can use .runheld command from Reborn. I don't rmember if it's available in 1.116 or if you need to wait for 1.117

                }
           }
      }
end

nolean local.player:
      local.player.nolean = 1
      while (local.player) {
            local.position = local.player getposition

In spearhead when you crouch and stand still then u can lean even with the dmflag off. Im tryng to avoid this for clipping.
Anyway thanks for the script, i tried it and gave me an overflow error when i entered the server:

Code:

                if ($player[local.i].nolean == NIL) { (global/nolean3.scr, 7)
                if (^

Im using spearhead, wish there is a reborn version for sh

Ah yeah, forgot to put a wait in there, one second should do.

You still have to reverse the changes when the player is not standing, or leaning will remain disabled.
