How do i recover from DeathKneelInfinite?

[NearHuscarl]

StopDeathKneel, StopAll command or ClearCommandQueue doesn't work at all

EDIT: I think the reason the mecha boss in the campaign map can stop kneeling is because you call IPlayer.Kill() which
is undesirable in my situation, I want to keep the player alive

Code: Select all

        private IPlayer player;
        public void OnStartup()
        {
            player = Game.GetPlayers()[0];

            player.SetInputEnabled(false);
            player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.DeathKneelInfinite));

            Events.UpdateCallback.Start(OnUpdate);
        }

        private float m_kneelTimer = 0;
        private void OnUpdate(float dt)
        {
            if (m_kneelTimer != -1)
                m_kneelTimer += dt;

            if (m_kneelTimer >= 3000)
            {
                Game.ShowChatMessage("Stop kneeling");

                player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.StopDeathKneel));
                //player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.StopAll));
                //player.ClearCommandQueue();
                player.SetInputEnabled(true);
                m_kneelTimer = -1;
            }
        }

Any commands added are actually processed the next update cycle (or if it was at the end of the current update cycle). So when you're calling
player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.StopDeathKneel));
it won't be processed straight away. But as you also call
player.SetInputEnabled(true);
the commands will be ignored once they do get processed

This might not be super intuitive when writing code so I'm tweaking the processing of commands to also process one additional update cycle after the player gets back control to simplify coding. Which will make the last command added work as expected when writing code like this:
player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.StopDeathKneel));
player.SetInputEnabled(true);


If you don't want to wait around for the next update simply delay your player.SetInputEnalbed(true) to the next update cycle which you can do in an update event.
Events.UpdateCallback.Start((t) => {
player.SetInputEnabled(true);
}, 1, 1);

so the working code will look like this:

Code: Select all

	    private IPlayer player;
        public void OnStartup()
        {
            player = Game.GetPlayers()[0];

            player.SetInputEnabled(false);
            player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.DeathKneelInfinite));

            Events.UpdateCallback.Start(OnUpdate);
        }

        private float m_kneelTimer = 0;
        private void OnUpdate(float dt)
        {
            if (m_kneelTimer != -1)
                m_kneelTimer += dt;

            if (m_kneelTimer >= 3000)
            {
                Game.ShowChatMessage("Stop kneeling");

                player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.StopDeathKneel));
                //player.AddCommand(new PlayerCommand(PlayerCommandType.StopAll));
                //player.ClearCommandQueue();
				
                // Enable player input the next update to allow the StopDeathKneel command to run.
                Events.UpdateCallback.Start((t) => {
                       player.SetInputEnabled(true);
                }, 1, 1);
                m_kneelTimer = -1;
            }
        }
