Removing Hero movement

[Ulqiorra]

How do I get rid of hero movement through scripting?

I wanted to do this recently, too.  After some searching, I found that there's a script that's part of the SDK/MACL.

You can get it over at SephirothSpawn's website, this topic:
http://owai.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=87

The necessary script is: Systems.SDK Methods
Though you'll need to put in the other SDK/MACL scripts that are required.

After putting in the scripts, to toggle movement:

$game_player.disable_player_movement = !$game_player.disable_player_movement

Alternatively, you could set it to true or false.

(For non-SDK solution, probably find the player movement code wherever that is and don't call it if a certain variable is true (essentially what the above script does)).

Find this code in Game_Player

    unless moving? or $game_system.map_interpreter.running? or
           @move_route_forcing or $game_temp.message_window_showing
      # Move player in the direction the directional button is being pressed
      case Input.dir4
      when 2
        move_down
      when 4
        move_left
      when 6
        move_right
      when 8
        move_up
      end
    end

You can probably use a global variable for fast edition, I would use an instance variable in Game_Player and make it editable through attr_accessor :variable.

Here is an example with a global var:

    unless moving? or $game_system.map_interpreter.running? or
           @move_route_forcing or $game_temp.message_window_showing or $movement_disabled
      # Move player in the direction the directional button is being pressed
      case Input.dir4
      when 2
        move_down
      when 4
        move_left
      when 6
        move_right
      when 8
        move_up
      end
    end

So, Mo, how exactly would I turn the global variable on and off?
Oh, and thanks for helping me despite my degrading you in my
eventor topic.

A simple script call to set the global variable.

$movement_disabled = true

$movement_disabled = false

or, if you want to toggle it:

$movement_disabled = !$movement_disabled
