How to Disable Player Movement

So I came back to roblox and I see that a lot of things have been changed. Also I can’t seem to disable movement all way since roblox uses modules instead of localscripts for those stuff. any suggestions on what I should do?

You can make use of ContextActionService for this. Originally posted by TheGamer101:

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

ContextActionService:BindAction(
    FREEZE_ACTION,
    function()
        return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
    end,
    false,
    unpack(Enum.PlayerActions:GetEnumItems())
)

-- To unfreeze movement:

ContextActionService:UnbindAction(FREEZE_ACTION)

Toggling PlatformStand on the character’s humanoid will stop their animations, movement, and will prevent them from attempting to stand up, but you will have to take over to prevent them from flopping around since they will be affected by physics.

You can also disable controls by using the method exposed in the control script.

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

Editted my reply to fix the code. It should work now. You need to return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink.
