Disable Controls without losing MoveVector

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

How would I disable player controls without losing the move vector?

I tried CAS and reassigning keys but it disconnects the movevector from players controls as well

#2

Change walkspeed and jumppower to 0

#3

Im not tryna disable those to avoid cases where walkspeed and jumpower arent the default values

#4 

local Player = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
local Humanoid = Player:WaitForChild('Humanoid')

local ws = Humanoid.WalkSpeed
local jh = Humanoid.JumpHeight
 
Humanoid.JumpHeight = 0
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 


wait(3)

Humanoid.JumpHeight = jh
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = ws
#5

this will save the current walkspeed and jumpheight value to reapply when you want to enable controls again

#6

and what if the players speed changes from an event during disabled controls using this method

#7

Hook into the Changed event, update the variable, and set their speed back to 0. It’s instant and nobody will be able to move during the brief period that their speed is above 0.

Haven’t tested but should work
