Making a main menu is harder than you think

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello everyone! I’m trying to make a main menu for my game, which works perfectly fine, but i don’t want the player to move while it’s in it.
Here’s my idea for the script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local playername = player.Name

local humanoid = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(playername):WaitForChild(“humanoid”)

The script only needs to find the humanoid of the local player. i can continue from that.

Help is very much appreciated!

For retrieving the player Humanoid, you got the ideas down, you just have to wait for a few things and re-check your capitalization.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat task.wait() until player.Character
local character = player.Character
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
#3

just freeze the player by anchoring them

#4 
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Hum.WalkSpeed = 0 -- wdym its hard

for the record: im not rude i just find it weird

Don’t listen to the people being rude. Most things are difficult if you don’t know how to do them. Here’s what I do:

-- bool = true: player can't move
function stopPlayerMovement(bool)
	local controls = require(game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.PlayerModule):GetControls()
	if bool then
		controls:Disable()
	else
		controls:Enable()
	end
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local playername = player.Name
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
