Disable/Enable M&K

I really, REALLY want an action to temporarily disable/enable input to a Mouse&Keyboard Plugin, to prevent players from wandering away during cutscenes or overlay sequences.

I'm still trying to find a good way to kludge my way around this in the meantime, and I'm having trouble.

You could put all of your mouse and keyboard events into a group(in the event sheet editor: Right Clicke -> Insert group) and disable/enable the group as necessary.

You could also use timescale, as long as your cut scenes don't use timedelta, and the player movement does.

you could probably just delete the m&k object and then create a new instance when you want it back

Or use a finite state machine... simply check 'state' global variable and put the following into your M&K events:

+ 'state' not equal to "cutscene"

M&K events

+ 'state' equal to "cutscene"

allow space/esc key to skip the cutscene (some people hate having to sit and watch long cutscenes they've seen)

Everything is so much easier with states.

If you have build in Movement just use "set ignore input" action

If you have custom event Movement then put every event to one group and disable during cutscene.
