RMMV Restrict Player movement when button is pressed

[retrofiction]

Hello!
I'm looking for a way to stop the player from moving when the OK button is being pressed. I still want the player to be able to change the direction by using the arrow keys (as well as all other keys), I just want him to stay on the spot as long as the button is being pressed.

For starters I found a solution somewhere to at least make the player stop doing anything while the OK button is being pressed (here by activating a switch upon button press):

(function(alias) {
  Game_Player.prototype.getInputDirection = function() {
    if ($gameSwitches.value(10)) return 0;
    else return alias.apply(this, arguments);
  };
})(Game_Player.prototype.getInputDirection);

But it doesn't work properly at all, after a few minutes I'm getting a Maximum call stack size exceeded error message:


Any ideas how to implement this?
Btw., my knowledge of JavaScript is very very basic...

If you don't mind trying someone else's code, I'd give Galv's Stationary Turn plugin a look.

I used a bit of code on line 73 to use a switch so I can halt walking and turn only. So, it should work for you. You'd have to decide if you were okay with always turning in place, or else you'd have to code in the stationary turn only when holding the okay button.

Hello, if the solution above doesn't work for you, try to alias the canPass method:

var alias = Game_Player.prototype.canPass
Game_Player.prototype.canPass = function(x, y, d) {
    if (!this.isPressedOk()) {
        return alias.call(this, x, y, d);
    }
};

Game_Player.prototype.isPressedOk = function() {
    return Input.isPressed('ok') ||
           Input.isTriggered('ok') ||
           Input.isRepeated('ok');
};

};

That actually works great, thank you!
What I noticed - I'm using Galvs Pseudo-Pixelmovement and when using the script above for some reason I can't change the direction to diagonal while pressing ok. Any idea how to fix that problem?
