Help regarding script events

[Origamyde]

Hi there ! 

 

I am currently designing a map section which features a trap-like script.

The player, upon activating it by pressing a door, is supposed to be frozen in place, while a jingle overrides the level music and an earthquake is triggered, followed by the door opening and what's behind it killing them instantly (almost like what you'd find in a TerryWad, minus the earrape) . 

 

Now, I may have not found them yet, or perhaps I missed them as they were here in plain sight, but :

• Which script allows for the level music (say, D_STALKS for example) to end, so that a sound sample can be played instead ?
• Which script allows for a specified actor to be "frozen in place" for the duration of the script ?

 

In advance, thank you for your help !

You would use SetMusic("") to stop the music then play the sound with PlaySound

I had my suspicions around SetMusic, but SetPlayerProperty is a super nice addition! 

 

Thanks, @sluggard! :0
