How do I disable a player's control?
I am trying to make a cutscene that includes a player walking to a point and such, but I cannot do that if the player decides to move by pressing the A,W,S,D keys or the arrow buttons. I used to use this:
--LocalScript
local control = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ControlScript")
function Stop()
control.Parent = nil
end
function Resume()
control.Parent = script.Parent
end
wait()
Stop()
wait(1000)
Resume()
but aparently that is outdated and roblox uses module scripts to control that sort of stuff now, so I looked around and I found this:
local PlayerModule = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule"))
local Controls = PlayerModule:GetControls()
Controls:Disable()
and I pasted that into a local script inside StarterPlayerScripts without any outcome. Am I doing something wrong?

Oops!! I did some testing, and found that the server cannot see the PlayerScripts folder!
This means you need to get the PlayerScripts folder in a local script, and fire it to the server script using a RemoteFunction!!
Here is what I came up with:
What you need:
RemoteEvent named "SendPlayerModule" located in ReplicatedStorage. Server-sided Script, located in ServerScriptService. Local-Script, located in StarterPlayerScripts.
Server script:
function playerFirstJoins(player)
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("SendPlayerModule")
local playa = player
event:FireClient(player,playa)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerFirstJoins)
Local-Script:
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("SendPlayerModule")
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playa)
if playa.Name == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name then
local PlayerModule = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule"))
local Controls = PlayerModule:GetControls()
Controls:Disable()
else
return
end
end)
