How to suspend a keymap binding?

#1 Don't know about that, but how about giving the player a variable (or state, etc) which the keybinding checks for - so if the variable is triggered to be true, then the keybinding doesn't fire.

eg:

function mouseFire(%val)
{
	%player = LocalClientConnection.getControlObject();

//extra check that it's a player class
//no point calling it on a non-avatar
	if (%player.getClassName() $= "Player")
	{
			if(%player.noshoot==0)
				{
				$mvTriggerCount0++;
				}
			     else
				{
				//chill and no shooting
				}
   }
}

Call noshoot=1; on the player (from a trigger or from the console) and he'll be unable to use mouse fire button.


Whilst I've just pulled this off the top of my head, it does work. Don't know if there is a better way of doing it, though.

#2 @Steve: Thanks for the pointer. I get what your saying and I think you are correct in the direction. But wouldn't that require me to set some flag on all other GUI scripts (i.e. ConsoleGui.cs)?

Seems like there should be some command to auto-suspend a binding while in other GUI's, especially the console. Here is the toggle code I use for show/hide the window if it helps.

function Catalog::onWake()   
{
    PopulateFields();
    button1.performClick();
}

function Catalog::onSleep()   
{ 
   MyObjViewer.setEmpty();
}

function ToggleCatalog(%make)
{
   if (%make)
   {
      if (Catalog.isAwake())
      {
         // Deactivate the window.
         Canvas.popDialog(Catalog);
      }
      else
      {
         Canvas.pushDialog(Catalog, 99);         
      }
   }
}

#3 Seems like you should be able to just pop the action maps of interest off the stack temporarily, then push them back on when you need them again.
