Character not freezing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So im trying to freeeze player controls as the game controls them for a bit… But the player can still move…

Code:

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local FROZEN_ACTION_KEY = "freezeMovement"

ContextActionService:BindActionAtPriority(
    FROZEN_ACTION_KEY,
    function() end,
    false,
    Enum. ContextActionPriority.High.Value,
    unpack(Enum.PlayerActions:GetEnumItems())
)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Pathfind2:InvokeServer()

ContextActionService:UnbindAction(FROZEN_ACTION_KEY)

Read bottom reply, for new code… Its still broken!

#2

is there anything between

ContextActionService:BindActionAtPriority(
    FROZEN_ACTION_KEY,
    function() end,
    false,
    Enum. ContextActionPriority.High.Value,
    unpack(Enum.PlayerActions:GetEnumItems())
)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Pathfind2:InvokeServer()

and

ContextActionService:UnbindAction(FROZEN_ACTION_KEY)

cause if not then you are unbinding it just after binding it

#3

the pathfind does not return until the player is at the destination so its yielding the script.

#4

just to be 100% sure can you test by printing “this is a print” in between
game.ReplicatedStorage.Pathfind2:InvokeServer()
and
ContextActionService:UnbindAction(FROZEN_ACTION_KEY)

#5

ok.

#6

i shall print(“hi”)

#7

no it does not print.

#8

Okay,

local MasterControl = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts"):WaitForChild("ControlScript"):WaitForChild("MasterControl"))

MasterControl:Disable() --disable movement
MasterControl:Enable() --disable movement

so enable would make it so players can move again?

#10

yes

#11

I updated the code above to work in any localscript, I had it set up so it would only work if it was ran in a script in StarterPlayerScripts.

#12

:Enabled() does not seem to be working… Sometimes it works… Sometimes it does not, I have been getting reports from players saying “I cant move.” and its all after their controls are disabled.

I am running the :Enabled() command.

#13

Can you send a snippet of the code that runs the Enable part?

#14

The problem with your original code is that you are using BindActionAtPriority, instead of just BindAction.

When using BindActionAtPriority, the function you provide should return a ContextActionResult that describes if you want to sink the inputs or pass the inputs to the next bound function.

MasterControl:Enable()

#16

What i meant was like the surrounding code that runs it, like is it inside a if or ?

#17

inside nothing, the code after it runs fine but the code before it does not. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not.

#18

Do you know whats wrong with it?

#19

Hmm, I need a bit more information about how its being ran

#20

fire away!
