Completely disable all player movement for specific scenes

I'm trying to create a scene where the player character is not visible and therefore cannot move anywhere on screen. However, everything else on screen can still be moved and interacted with. Yet I cannot find a way to disable movement for the player character. Setting it to "hide character" only makes the character invisible, but when I removed the "hide" command, I found out the character is still moving to where I click. Nothing I do can stop this, not even removing the way system does anything as they just continue to walk around. How can I disable movement for the player character???

Don't add the character to the scene - use show scene/menu action part instead of change scene action part to change to a new scene without teleporting the playable character to it. Or create a way system border outside of the scene & set the character position inside of that. Or you can disable destination update for each mouse input via script too. Or use a menu type scene or an interface overlay. You have loads of options to choose from.

Well... that fixed the problem, but now I can't see any subtitles for the player character.

Aye narration text is the way to go when you have no character(s) on scene.

Okay, now I'm on a new scene where the player character is visible, but shouldn't be able to move since they're supposed to be trapped at this point in the story. Still can't get them to stay put, even with no way system.

Did you change the title of this thread?

Anyway... you have at least 2 choices.

1. swap out the playable character with an npc version.

2. you can use Lua script to temporarily tell the engine that left click shouldn't update the destination.

• eMouseActionBehaviourDoNotSendCharacter 0
• eMouseActionBehaviourSendCharacterToCursor 1
• eMouseActionBehaviourSendCharacterToObjects 2

The default option is: eMouseActionBehaviourSendCharacterToCursor

Ah. I did try the NPC method you mentioned, it seems to work alright.

Insert this line of code into an execute script action part when you want to disable left click from updating destination...

Worked like a charm!
