SetElementFrozen

This function freezes an element (stops it in its position and disables movement) or unfreezes it.

[[|link=|]]	Warning: This function cancels any animation set by setPedAnimation if you freeze the ped.

Syntax

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Serverside example

This example binds the "p" key to a function to freeze/unfreeze the player's current vehicle.

function toggleFreezeStatus(thePlayer) -- This function freezes the specified player's vehicle, if he's in one
	local playerVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer) -- Check if player's in vehicle

	if playerVehicle then -- if so
		local isPlayerVehicleFrozen = isElementFrozen(playerVehicle) -- Check if vehicle is frozen

		setElementFrozen(playerVehicle, not isPlayerVehicleFrozen) -- Set opposite state
	end
end

local connectedPlayers = getElementsByType("player") -- Get all connected players

for playerID = 1, #connectedPlayers do -- Loop through each player
	local playerElement = connectedPlayers[playerID] -- Get player element by accessing it via playerID

	bindKey(playerElement, "p", "down", toggleFreezeStatus, "Toggle freeze status") -- Bind function for player
end

Issues

Issue ID	Description
#1291	Ped rotation is always zero on client side if ped has been frozed after creating it
#541	Frozen ped rotation goes wrong with latency reduction enabled
#442	Client-side setElementFrozen should sync vehicle driven by local player
