Question by Ell223 · Jan 26, 2014 at 11:00 PM · javascriptmovementguitexturemouselock

Disable player input whilst a GuiTexture is enabled?

Hi, I'm trying to make it so that when I hit "e" on an object, a Guitexture appears (a piece of paper), the player can't move again, until he hits "e", in which case the paper is dismissed and movement regained. This is in Javascript, but the mouselook scripts are Unity's which are in C#. I would also not like the player to be able to move his character with the keyboard either. This is what I have so far:

 #pragma strict
 
 var ShowPaper : boolean = false;
 var distance : float;
 var maxDistance : float = 1.5;
 var Player : GameObject;
 var CameraObject: GameObject;
 var GUITexture: GameObject;
 
 function Start () {
 Screen.showCursor = false;
 }
 
 function Update () {
 
 if (Input.GetKeyDown ("e"))
     {
         var hit : RaycastHit;
         if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), hit) && ShowPaper)
         {
         GUITexture.guiTexture.enabled = false;
         CameraObject.GetComponent("MouseLook").active = true;
         Player.GetComponent("MouseLook").active = true;
         Screen.lockCursor = false;
         ShowPaper = false;
         }
         
         if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), hit))
         {
             distance = hit.distance;
             if (distance < maxDistance && hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Paper")
             {
             GUITexture.guiTexture.enabled = true;
             Screen.lockCursor = true;
             CameraObject.GetComponent("MouseLook").active = false;
             Player.GetComponent("MouseLook").active = false;
             ShowPaper = true;            
             }        
             
         }
     }
 
 }

However, when I hit "e" on the object, the entire player is disabled (camera and all). Any help?
