Introduction

This script provides a simple toggle for disabling player movement input in RPG Maker VX Ace. It allows developers to lock player controls during specific game events, cutscenes, or gameplay sequences.

The system supports switch-based activation, configurable switch ID selection, and automatic input blocking without affecting other game systems.

AI Disclaimer: Generative AI was used to refine the documentation and presentation of this script, as I am not a native English speaker. Additionally, AI was used for naming conventions in some places and for general beautification of the script.

Script Calls

The following script calls are available for use in events and other scripts.

Input Control

$game_switches[Hammy::DisablePlayerInput::MOVEMENT_SWITCH_ID] = true/false
Directly set the movement input switch state using the game switches array.
- true: Disables player movement input
- false: Enables player movement input

Examples

$game_switches[Hammy::DisablePlayerInput::ACTION_SWITCH_ID] = true/false
Directly set the interaction switch state using the game switches array.
- true: Disables event interaction with :C input
- false: Enables event interaction with :C input

Examples

Configuration

Edit the switch constants in the Hammy::DisablePlayerInput module to set which game switches control the input locks.

MOVEMENT_SWITCH_ID
Game switch ID for movement input blocking. Set to any valid switch ID (1 to maximum switches in your project). When this switch is ON, player movement input is blocked. When this switch is OFF, player movement input works normally.

- Valid values: Any valid switch ID
- Default: 10

Example

ACTION_SWITCH_ID
Game switch ID for event interaction blocking. Set to any valid switch ID (1 to maximum switches in your project). When this switch is ON, event interaction with :C input is blocked. When this switch is OFF, event interaction with :C input works normally.

- Valid values: Any valid switch ID
- Default: 11

Usage

Use event commands or script calls to toggle the specified switches.

Event Command Method

• Control Switches: Turn ON switch MOVEMENT_SWITCH_ID
  Disables player movement input
• Control Switches: Turn OFF switch MOVEMENT_SWITCH_ID
  Re-enables player movement input
• Control Switches: Turn ON switch ACTION_SWITCH_ID
  Disables event interaction with :C input
• Control Switches: Turn OFF switch ACTION_SWITCH_ID
  Re-enables event interaction with :C input

Important Notes
This script provides independent control over movement input and event interaction. Each feature is controlled by a separate switch.

• Menu access is not affected by this script. If you want to block menu access as well, use the "Disable Menu Access" event command.
• Both switches can be set to the same ID to control movement and interaction simultaneously with a single switch if desired.

Why VX Ace?

You might wonder why I'm still making scripts for VX Ace instead of MV/MZ. The answer is simple: Ruby is pure beauty, while JavaScript is a terrible language. Ruby's elegant syntax, intuitive design, and expressive power make scripting a joy. JavaScript, on the other hand, is a chaotic mess of inconsistencies and quirks that I simply despise.

I work with RPG Maker VX Ace for my own game project, and I share the scripts I create with the community. If you're still using VX Ace, you're in good company!
