My issue is incredibly simple, however I’ve been searching the net for an hour or two on the issue. What I want to do is disable and enable a set of specific buttons when I hit a trigger box. The triggerbox itself is already set up and ready to be used, however I can’t find a way to disable a speci…

Recap: I wanted to use a triggerbox blueprint to make sure you couldn’t use a set of controls (in this case W and S). My first instinct would be to disable the button while going into the triggerbox, which is basically what I’ll be doing in the end. How I did it: In the triggerbox blueprint I use…

Move the UpDown variable to whichever class you have the input in. Then, in your level bp, set that variable on that object. You can use get player controller 0 or get player character 0, etc. to get the object you need. Then check the state of UpDown on your input events.

There is disable and enable inputs, maybe they can be of use? I used them recently to disable E key when opening / closing a door. Just right click and search for disable or enable they should come up. :slight_smile:

If I move the variables to another blueprint other than the level blueprint I can’t communicate between them, which is half the issue I’m facing. I would have done so already if I could. I got a blueprint which checks if my character is in my triggerbox or not. Each time my character enters the tri…

Care to show a example? That sounds just exactly what I’m after, as you can see on the picture I showed above, that’s what I’m working with currently, and all I need to do is disable the W & S keys. If I use player controller 0 or anything like that it’ll just make me lose control of the character.

It’s quite hard to communicate character → level. However, level to character communication is easy. Use the Get Player Controller node - and use index 0. This is always the local player’s player controller. Cast this to your custom player controller (if your input code is in there) or do get the pa…

If I use player controller 0 or anything like that it’ll just make me lose control of the character. No it won’t.

I don’t really need to get the character, or the player controlls, as the key isn’t bound by the original controller. even if I lose control over my character, my W & S keys will still work, that’s why it would be nice to be able to isolate and disable just a specific key, and should (probably) be a…
