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:
01 | --LocalScript |
02 | local control = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ControlScript") |
03 | function Stop() |
04 | control.Parent = nil |
05 | end |
06 | function Resume() |
07 | control.Parent = script.Parent |
08 | end |
09 | wait() |
10 | Stop() |
11 | wait(1000) |
12 | 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but aparently that is outdated and roblox uses module scripts to control that sort of stuff now, so I looked around and I found this:
1 | local PlayerModule = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule")) |
2 | local Controls = PlayerModule:GetControls() |
3 | 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:
1 | function playerFirstJoins(player) |
2 | local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("SendPlayerModule") |
3 | local playa = player |
4 | event:FireClient(player,playa) |
5 | end |
6 |
7 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerFirstJoins) |
Local-Script:
01 | local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("SendPlayerModule") |
02 |
03 | event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playa) |
04 | if playa.Name == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name then |
05 | local PlayerModule = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule")) |
06 | local Controls = PlayerModule:GetControls() |
07 | Controls:Disable() |
08 | else |
09 | return |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | end) |
