I am trying to figure out a way to temporarily disable the left and right movements without disabling the keys entirely. I've tried using ContextActionService sink, but it disables the key entirely. That's not what I want. I want to temporarily disable the left and right movement keys so I can use the A and D keys for something else. Before you tell me to look at other posts, I have looked around many posts, but none of them seem to solve the problem entirely.
COMMUNITY QUESTION
Is there a way to temporarily disable most movements?

There's a good answer on the Dev Forum I've found posted by Kampfkarren Credit goes all to them.
This is easy to do because movement is done through core scripts.
-- TODO: remove up and down arrows, these seem unnecessary
ContextActionService:BindActionToInputTypes("forwardMovement", moveForwardFunc, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterForward)
ContextActionService:BindActionToInputTypes("backwardMovement", moveBackwardFunc, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterBackward)
ContextActionService:BindActionToInputTypes("leftMovement", moveLeftFunc, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterLeft)
ContextActionService:BindActionToInputTypes("rightMovement", moveRightFunc, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterRight)
ContextActionService:BindActionToInputTypes("jumpAction", jumpFunc, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterJump)
This code was found on the ROBLOX Core Script on Github
Simply run:
ContextActionService:UnbindAction("leftMovement")
ContextActionService:UnbindAction("rightMovement")
Hopefully this answers your question!
