How the hell can you make someone freeze in place?

I know it's done with permissions and llTakeControl, but I don't see how to freeze someone with it.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

(And no, it's not for griefing..)

It involves a fixed-position llMoveToTarget() repeated over a short interval.

You can do it with llTakeControls as well, take all the movement controls and don't pass them on but don't do anything with them either. You can't stop someone rotating in place, though.

Solution

This is a solution for like an attached object like a slave collarr etc.

Set an global variables to handle whether the person is frozen or can walk
Set a global variable to mark their position we want to hold them at

integer stay_status;
vector stay_spot;

The person designated as owner sends a command and you pick it up via listen event
handler so you process it something like this:

if(message=="Stay"

{
stay_status = 1;
llSetEventTimer(1.0);
stay_spot = llGetPos();
}

if(message=="Release){
stay_status = 0;
llSetEventTimer(0.0);
llStopMoveToTarget();
}

Set up the timer event handler to just keep moving them back to the starting position

timer()
{
if (stay_status==1)
{
llMoveToTarget(stay_spot);
}
}

Note: If you use timer for multiple events at times use the "Freeze status" integer to
make sure if they are not frozen and you are using the timer for another event that
it will not decide to freeze the avatar again. If this is the only thing you will use the
timer event for then you can do away with the stay_status integer and the if conditional
in the timer.

I can't for the life of me figure this out.
