What have you tried so far, and how did that work? Also make sure you search for similar topics, IIRC this has been covered before :+1:

You need to first disable the player controls. You can do this using the following LocalScript under StarterGui:

local controls = require(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts"):WaitForChild("PlayerModule")):GetControls()
controls:Disable()

Then, you need to bind each direction you want to be able to move in to a key separately.

char = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character or game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
			humanoid:Move(Vector3.new(1, 0, 0)) --Or whatever direction
		elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
			-- ...
		end
	end
end)

Use a parallel event using InputEnded once they stop holding the key.
Hope this helps!
