How do I ignore input for only 1 direction

is there any way to disable movement from only 1 direction? As in,

when X happens > ignore 8direction user input

but only for walking right? So that I can walk all other directions except right?

You can disable the default controls on 8direction and set up your own in events.

Right arrow key is down -> Simulate pressing right etc...

Then you can add whatever conditions you want. For example: give the player an AllowedToMoveRight boolean and you can have the conditions:

Keyboard: Right arrow key is down

Player: Is AllowedToMoveRight -> Player: Simulate pressing right

Then you can toggle that boolean to prevent walking in that direction.
