Well as you can all probably tell by the title of the thread. I'm in need of a script that would make it look and sound as if the player was being dragged by an enemy, but I've not the slightest clue of how to go about this or if its even really possible. Any input would be greatly appreciated ^^

This might be something to start off with.

Code:
void OnStart()
{
     MovePlayerHeadPos(0, -0.9f, 0, 10.0f, 0.1f);
     SetPlayerActive(false);
     AddTimer("drag", 3.0f, "PlayerDrag");
}

void PlayerDrag(string &in asTimer)
{
    AddPlayerBodyForce(8000, 0, -8000, false);
    AddTimer(asTimer, 1.5f, "PlayerDrag");
}

But sometimes, try checking through all the scripts yourselves. You learn quicker Smile

Also, for a better sense of being dragged (that most don't seem to get/notice) is that it's better to pulse (listen to the drag noise) than to keep the same speed.

Well Deadon, I used a sound which fitted this perfectly, but I'm certain he doesn't have it. Unless he got the conversion mod The Fugitive 2.

PlayGuiSound("31_drag.snt", 1.0f);

FadePlayerRollTo(-45, 0.8, 8);

Didn't test this (rather stole it from the wiki's wake up tutorial), but it might also help:
Code:
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220); // Simulate being on the floor

Since you have FadePlayerRollTo, you are heading in the right direction (no pun intended)

Well i want the player to start off in a cage, have an engineer come "open" it and then "drag" the player around a corner, but im at a standstill

Spoiler below!

Code:
void Drag(string &in asTimer)
{
  AddPlayerBodyForce(8000, 0, -8000, false);
  AddTimer(asTimer, 1.5f, "(Player)Drag");
}

Marked with () what was wrong. The timer aint named like that. This below is correct.

Code:
void Drag(string &in asTimer)
{
  AddPlayerBodyForce(8000, 0, -8000, false);
  AddTimer(asTimer, 1.5f, "Drag");
}

I think you're better to just place a ScriptArea above you, and;

PHP Code:
void StartPlayerLookAt(string& asEntityName, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed, string& asAtTargetCallback); 
Where:
asEntityName - the entity to look at
afSpeedMul - how fast should the player look at the entity
afMaxSpeed - maximum speed allowed
asAtTargetCallback - function to call when player looks at target

You will have to declare a StopPlayerLookAt() at some point if you use this Smile
