Block character movement

[NoNameDude]

Hey everyone and nice to find you all, since it's my first time posting here.

I've been searching around for a plugin or a command or anything really that blocks the player movement until it's unblocked by something else (a switch works).
I know about autorun and parallel events, but that's not the case here.
I'm using Yanfly's PictureCommonEvents plugin and I have an event where some fullscreen pictures appear and the player can choose a picture among those. I have blocked the movement through the mouse input, but I can't find a way to block completely the character movement and the player can move around the map by using the arrows, even when the pictures are on.

That's it. Any reply is appreciated.
(I hope that's the correct subforum for this question)

This can be done with a simple two page event.



Note that the priority on page one is Same as characters.




This is page two. Note that a switch is checked off. Name it whatever serves you the best. Note that the Priority is Below characters.

I have used this technique on many occasions.

Yeah, I thought as well to block the path around the character with an event like that, but the map that I want to use it is rather small and I wanted to save that space around in case I need to create other events (the player can move to 3 directions so I have to create 3 of those). But I guess this has to do for now, it's better than having the character move around after all.
Thanks a lot!
