DisableControl

A command for Oblivion Script Extender

Syntax:

(nothing) DisableControl whichControl:short

Disables both the key and mouse buton assigned to the specified control.

Example

DisableControl 5

This disabled the Activation keyboard and mouse keys, if there are any.

Notes

• The keys disabled by DisableControl will continue to work in the Inventory and Container Menus, but not the Controls Menu (not sure about other menus).
• This does not seem to be the case with the "Attack" control (LMB). With control 4 disabled I found that left mouse clicks don't work on the inventory, save or saved games menus, either to select or scroll. In fact when my character died with control 4 disabled I couldn't close the game. I'm now re-enabling the control in a MenuMode block.
• When the player switches controls, the new control will need to be disabled. Also, the original key will need to be enabled. Here's an example script to keep the correct Activate key(s) disabled:

DisableControl 5
...
begin MenuMode 1021 ;Controls Menu
  if (TurnOffKeys == 0)
    set TurnOffKeys to 1
    EnableControl 5
  endif
end

begin MenuMode 1015 ;Options Menu
  if TurnOffKeys
    set TurnOffKeys to 0
    RefreshControlMap
    DisableControl 5
  endif
end
