Is there a way to disable player control WITHOUT setting the WalkSpeed to 0?

So, I've created a cutscene where players walk in, but I don't want them to DIRECTLY control the character, since I'm just using Humanoid:MoveTo() to walk them to the place I want them to go. But I've looked on many websites, and I can't seem to find a solution to this problem.

If anyone knows a solution to this, I would be happy to hear it.

Thanks!

You can disconnect the action in the http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/ContextActionService User#5423 17 — 7y

So then all I would have to do to connect it back is to bind it back? NeonicPlasma 181 — 7y

Yep. For more info about this i would look at the Roblox scripts. User#5423 17 — 7y

Hey PickUpTheBeat1,

What you are trying to do is very simple. All you need to do is just disable the `ControlScript`, which is located under `PlayerScripts`, which is under the Player. Then, you enable it when you want them to be able to control the character.

Here is an example:

01local plrs = game:GetService("Players");
02local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer;
03 
04function turn_it_off(plr)
05 
06    local plr_srps = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts");
07    local control = plr_srps:WaitForChild("ControlScript");
08 
09    control.Disabled = true;
10end;
11 
12plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(turn_it_off);
13 
14for _, player in next, plrs:GetPlayers() do
15    turn_it_off(player);
16end

Well, I hope I helped and have a nice day/night!
