PlayerModule Controller not enabling after death

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there. I’m currently using the player control module to enable and disable input. It works great, but once the player respawns, they can’t move at all anymore. I even tried manually enabling the module when they respawn, and still no response. Any ideas?

As context, here’s the code I used for the module:

local PlayerModule = require(plr.PlayerScripts.PlayerModule)
local controls = PlayerModule:GetControls()
		
if name == "Disable" then
	controls:Disable()
elseif name == "Enable" then
	controls:Enable()
end

This is in a remoteEvent function, if you’re wondering why there is a name variable.
Also, I know this is a terrible way of scripting this module, but I just can’t find a way to enable/disable the module without problems. (I even tried controls:Enable(false/true) )

Dead and replaced, enable control if spawned one’s is disabled.

I’ve already tried manually enabling it.

I’ve actually had this problem recently, and I solved it.

It seems like you are disabling the controls at the start. You would need to create a variable to check if the player’s controls have already been disabled from the start.

local yourVariableName = false

if yourVariableName == false then
	controls:Disable()
	
	wait(6) --//Any number would be fine.
	
	yourVariableName = true
end

Now you have to use a CharacterAdded event.

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	if yourVariableName == true then
		controls:Disable()
		
		wait()
		
		controls:Enable(true)
	end
end)

Basically, you are just disabling then enabling their controls on death.

Wait, there is no explanation of “name” variable.
