Attempting to unbind WASD, forcing arrow keys controls

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am making an abstract, almost surreal game with the aesthetic of old 90s 3d computer games. What I am attempting to do is make the controls simplified to the arrow keys, so only forward and back, and rotate camera.
The script I am using unbinds the keys entirely, not just from WASD.

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
ContextActionService:UnbindAction("moveBackwardAction")

I’ve tried many things but none really worked, this was the closest I got to it working, but its not quite right. Any ideas on how I can unbind WASD?

You can directly just disable the controls of the player and manually bind your player to move.

For example,

local LocalPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Controls = require(LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.PlayerModule):GetControls()

Controls:Disable()

You will need to access the movement script that Roblox Studio automatically puts in your game and then remove some lines from the Roblox default movement script to achieve this.

I have made a video for you to show you how this can all be done: 2D Movement tutorial

I made this video for a person that wanted to disable forward and backwards but you can just remove all the movements.

Thanks! Ill check this out. Didnt know it was a separate script, I thought it was hard coded. Thanks a million.

This might be difficult cause im not really a pro. If you could give tips on how I would rebind them that would be fantastic.

Exploiters can rebind their controls in any game in any way, always.
