character stop movement.

[cassius]

In my third person game my character moves forward when the W key is down but there are times when I want the character to be unable to move such as when another character talks to her. Whats the best way to freeze movement for a short time ? I am using c language.

disable keys ?

 

Let's say, when you meet another character, you can disable movement keys and mouse look .. and game script can take care about camera look. Camera can smoothly point to character, who wants to talk with you
