  1. What do you want to achieve?
    In my game, i have elevators my elevators weld the player to it so i need to pause all player animations and prevent the player to do emotes.
    And i need to reactivate them back after the elevator arrive at his floor.
    The script that manage the elevator is in the model of the elevator.

    I can’t manage to do it.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I tried myself and looked on forums.

In a localscript

You can do:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.EmotesMenu, false)-- set to false

To disable the emote menu

and you can do:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.EmotesMenu, true)-- set to true

to enable the emote menu

#5 
for _, player in pairs(elevatorPlayers) do 
	local character = player.Character 
	if not character then continue end 
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid then continue end 
	for _, track in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
		track:Stop()
	end
	--and to disable new animations from running:
	local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animator")
	if not animator then continue end
	animator.AnimationPlayed:Connect(function(track)
		track:Stop()
	end)
end

You can also edit the “Animate” local script in the player’s character to prevent the use of default emotes.

#7

You can edit the “Animate” local script in the player’s character and add this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local canEmote = Player:WaitForChild("CanEmote")--Boolvalue stored in player
local connection

function onPlayerChatted(msg)
	local emote = ""
	if (string.sub(msg, 1, 3) == "/e ") then
		emote = string.sub(msg, 4)
	elseif (string.sub(msg, 1, 7) == "/emote ") then
		emote = string.sub(msg, 8)
	end

	if (pose == "Standing" and emoteNames[emote] ~= nil) then
		playAnimation(emote, EMOTE_TRANSITION_TIME, Humanoid)
	end	 
end

connection = Player.Chatted:connect(onPlayerChatted)

canEmote.Changed:Connect(function()
	if canEmote.Value == false then
		connection = Player.Chatted:connect(onPlayerChatted)
	else --if canEmote == true
		connection:Disconnect()
	end
end)

and delete this at line 739:

-- setup emote chat hook
game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
	local emote = ""
	if (string.sub(msg, 1, 3) == "/e ") then
		emote = string.sub(msg, 4)
	elseif (string.sub(msg, 1, 7) == "/emote ") then
		emote = string.sub(msg, 8)
	end
	
	if (pose == "Standing" and emoteNames[emote] ~= nil) then
		playAnimation(emote, EMOTE_TRANSITION_TIME, Humanoid)
	end
end)

Here is the animate local script put it in StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts and apply what I suggested before.
