Removing the player's control isn't working?

Asked by

I've used this before, and it used to work, I'm trying to remove the player's control of their character and this doesn't seem to work. I read about this in the roblox wiki a while back and it worked when I tried it then, did the method change or am I doing it wrong?

function removeControl()
    local cs = game:GetService("ControllerService")
    for i, v in pairs(cs:GetChildren())do
        v.Parent = nil
    end
end
removeControl()

This is in a LocalScript

Outpu? Have you also tried taking it out of a LocalScript? I didn't think LocalScripts could do things with the Server like ControlService.

No it doesn't work in a server script and there's no output :P Mr1Vgy 30 — 8y

Maybe ControllerService isn't accessible anymore. TheZankonator -2 — 8y

Try this: insert a local script into StarterPlayerScripts, if you don't know where that is by now you're like... I dunno... But ask someone where the StarterPlayerScripts are(Hint: It's in Starter Player) and use the following script:

Final Product

local c = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ControlScript")
function returnControls()
    c.Parent = script.Parent
end
function removeControls()
    c.Parent = nil
end
removeControls()
wait(5)
returnControls()

Hope it helps!
