I've been scratching my head over this for a while now, so I thought I'd throw it out to the crowd to see what you all think.

Is it possible to restrict what the player to can? i.e. make it so he/she/it can only turn his/her/it's head a certain number of degrees. I don't want my player to look up or behind himself during a certain bit of a level.

I doubt standard fpi scripting would do this, perhaps plymod?

What do you think?

I remember speaking with EAI about this for a mech he wanted to make.

Yeah, we couldn't come up with any way to do this with conventional scripting. But Ply's Mod comes with some commands to help with the problem.

If you used the mod, you could do the following:
- Capture the player camera's current angle ($CAX/Y/Z) into a usable variable
- Determine if these angles are higher than you need them to be (or lower than you need them to be), if they are then force the camera's angle back.

(The WrapVar command may or may not be helpful for this)
