Issue Switching Player Datablock

I have a trigger zone with an turret (object) in it. When the player enters the zone, they are able to push the 'useobject' button on the joystick which does the following:

function useTurret()
{
  $player.setVelocity("0 0 0");
  %d = getWord(%t,6);
  $player.lastXform=$player.gettransform();
  $turret = $player.useObject;
  $turretPos = $turret.getTransform();
  $turretName = $turret.getName();
  $turret.delete();
  $player.setDatablock(turretObject);
  $player.setTransform($turretPos);
  toggleFirstPerson(1);
  fpControls();
  arm($player,"Turret");
}


function FPControls()
{
  $controls = "fp";
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, a, turnleft );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, d, turnright );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, w, panup );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, s, pandown );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, q, "" );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, e, "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( keyboard, space, "exitfp();", "" );

  moveMap.bind( joystick, button6, turnLeft );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, button7, turnRight );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, button3, mouseFire );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, button2, "exitfp();", "" );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, xaxis, "D", "-0.23 0.23", gamePadYaw );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, yaxis, "D", "-0.23 0.23", gamePadPitch );
}

This effectively removes the turret from the level and makes the player become the turret. This all works great!

Here is where I run into the problem. I am trying to switch back to the original player. Here is the code:

function exitfp()
{
  new AIPlayer($turretName) {
      canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
      Enabled = "1";
      position = $turretPos;
      rotation = "0 0 1 175.325";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      dataBlock = "turretObject";
         mountVehicle = "1";
   };
  $player.setVelocity("0 0 0");
  $player.setTransform($player.lastXform);
  $player.setDatablock(defaultPlayerData);
  toggleFirstPerson(1);
  schedule(200,0,tpcontrols);
  arm($player,"weap");
}

function TPControls()
{
  $mvTriggerCount2 = 0;
  $mvYawRightSpeed = 0;
  $mvYawLeftSpeed = 0;
  $controls = "tp";
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, a, moveleft );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, d, moveright );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, w, moveforward );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, s, movebackward );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, q, turnLeft );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, e, turnRight );
  moveMap.bind( keyboard, space, jump );

  moveMap.bind( joystick, button6, turnLeft );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, button7, turnRight );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, button3, mouseFire );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, button2, jump );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, button1, "useObject();", "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, upov, "makeCrate(1);", "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, rpov, "makeCrate(2);", "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, dpov, "makeCrate(3);", "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, lpov, "testBot();", "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, button4, "makeBarrel(1);", "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, button5, "makeBarrel(2);", "" );
  moveMap.bindCmd( joystick, button11, "makeBarrel(3);", "" );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, xaxis, "D", "-0.23 0.23", gamePadMoveX );
  moveMap.bind( joystick, yaxis, "D", "-0.23 0.23", gamePadMoveY );
}

As you can see in the TPControls() function, I am trying to stop the player from jumping and rotating. The problem I have is that half the time I use joystick button2 while in first person mode to switch back to the default player and third person mode, the player will start jumping uncontrollably by themselves. Very occasionally, he will also rotate uncontrollably, but slowly.

After messing around with it a LOT, I have concluded that I cannot get the player under proper control once I switch back to the original player.






I've pretty much got this solved. Here is my solution:

function useObject()
{
   if($player.useAction$="opening")
   {
      echo("run openDoor on: "@ $player.useObject);
      openDoor($player.useObject);
      return;
   }
   if($player.useAction$="turret")
   {
     echo("player is trying to use a turret");
     if($player.getDatablock().getName()$="turretObject")
     {
       exitTurret();
     }
     else
     {
       useTurret();
     }
     //mount player to $player.useobject, toggle view, activate 1st person controls
   }
   echo("player is not in a 'useObject' type trigger");
}



function useTurret()
{
  $player.setVelocity("0 0 0");
  %d = getWord(%t,6);
  $player.lastXform=$player.gettransform();
  $turret = $player.useObject;
  $turretPos = $turret.getTransform();
  $turretName = $turret.getName();
  $turret.delete();
  $player.setDatablock(turretObject);
  $player.setTransform($turretPos);
  toggleFirstPerson(1);
  fpControls();
  arm($player,"Turret");
}

function exitTurret()
{
  new AIPlayer($turretName) {
      canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
      Enabled = "1";
      position = $turretPos;
      rotation = "0 0 1 175.325";
      scale = "1 1 1";
      dataBlock = "turretObject";
         mountVehicle = "1";
   };
   statics.add($turretName);
  $player.setVelocity("0 0 0");
  arm($player,"weap");
  $player.setDatablock(defaultPlayerData);
  $player.setTransform($player.lastXform);
  toggleFirstPerson(1);
  tpcontrols();
}
