What is the best way to disable control over the player?

I have been setting the controller object's parent to nil in order to make it so that I can use the method :MoveTo() while making the player have no control over their character. The problem is, however, that if a button is pressed down when the controller's parent is set to nil, the character will act as if the button was never released even if it was.

All the sources I found tell me to just wait until no buttons are being pressed and then disable the control. This however can loop on for as long as the player holds down a button, not a very professional feel if you ask me.

So that's why I have come here, does anyone know of a way to disable the control over the player's character without waiting?

(Please don't say anchor the character, then the method :MoveTo() will not function)

Simply remove their jump power and walkspeed [set to 0.] and for more control, disable their mouse via userinputservice [and lock them to first person.]

More info on everything I just said can be found on Google.

I saw in another question something relating to the humanoids state.

Merely answered the question with

local Character = game.Workspace.Player1
Character.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
Character.Animate:Remove()

Perhaps if you just DISABLED the animate script temporarily, and removed control, and enabled it again, that would work.

If what Merely said is correct, and it would behave like a normal part, this just might work to get around having to wait for disabled keypresses.
