How to disable UserInputService

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make it so that when a player is ragdolled, none of the user inputs work. Any answers would be appreciated, thanks.

#2

When they press a key, check if they’re ragdolled.

You can’t disable UserInputService, however ContextActionService is a lot more flexible with handling inputs. This is a snippet of a script that would block specified input, assuming everything was using ContextActionService like the default character scripts are:

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

-- table for blocked actions, you can add some here if need be
-- this should only be filled with Enum.PlayerActions, Enum.KeyCode, and/or Enum.UserInputType
local blockedInputs = {}

-- this will add all character actions (Forward, Backward, etc) to the blocked actions
for _, playerAction in pairs(Enum.PlayerActions:GetEnumItems()) do
	table.insert(blockedInputs, playerAction)
end

-- block input
ContextActionService:BindActionAtPriority(
	-- bind name
	"blockInputs",
	-- bind function for keypresses and actions
	function()
		-- Sink will make all actions stop here and not continue to other context actions
		return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
	end,
	-- should we create a touch button? 
	false,
	-- priority level. it should be higher than your other actions
	1e6,
	-- inputs for the action, which for the block input we will just unpack the table above
	unpack(blockedInputs)
)

and if you needed to unblock input at any point, you would call this function after:

ContextActionService:UnbindAction("blockInputs")

I hope this helps!
