last night i was messing with how to take controls and i foolishly didn't code any way for me to have my controls released again. so i was kinda stuck there. i was forced to save my work and relog. is there any way for a player to automatically release controls that they have granted? if not i think there should be.

ways to get your controls back
  1. re-save the script
  2. reset the script
  3. delete the object
  4. or 'take' the object

anyone of those will automatically give you your controls back.

ah thanks again Nada.

as a side note, say someone who didn't own the object got stuck in this fashion. would they then be forced to relog? if so this could possibly be abused on someone who didn't know better and gave the object its controls.

true. there should be some constant that lets us break control, like hitting esc.
