How to stop player movement input when displaying Quest and Journal UI

How do I stop the player movement input when displaying the Quest and Journal UI? This was possible with the Dialogue System using the conversing state. Is there something similar with the Quest Machine? What would you recommend?


Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,

For dialogue using Quest Machine's dialogue UI, add a Greet Quest Giver ability to the player. It works similarly to the Dialogue System's Converse ability.

For the journal UI, add an Enable Cursor While Active component to it. This will show the cursor and freeze player movement.
