How do you take away control?

Hey im making an AoS (like the other 300 people who go to this site) and at any rate im having a problem with camera controls.

I have a main quest in the AoS (Gonna be pretty cool) but the problem is that I set the camera to the unit: the camera is reset when he answers the question (whether correct or incorrect). At any rate I can't have the player deciding to run off during the middle of the riddle and be stuck like that forever.

Im betting there is some sort of "take away unit's control" action somewhere that I skipped over... the four times that I looked top to bottom... But even if that is a case can someone point it out? Thanks a lot :D

Aren't there cinematic trigger actions that disable control for players?

you could always pause the unit
but that is if you don't need him to move. and even when paused he can still perform actions such as attack action or other things
i had a spell where i would pause unit play attack and create a arrow infront of unit than unpause it
it looks just like real.

edit:i don't mean perform actions i mean perform animations for actions.

I don't plan it to be during a cinimatic tho...

He needs to give a text answer so I can't have it during a cinimatic anyway.

Supra beat me to the post. Good idea all I need him to do is say something :ggani:

There are separate actions for disabling player control and switching to and from cinematic mode... but they're all under the "cinematic" umbrella.
