Have a global static boolean. Before any input you could check if it's true or false and easily set it when you want to.

Example of static boolean:

 public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public static bool IsInputEnabled = true;
 }

Call it to check if input is enabled:

 if(GameManager.IsInputEnabled)
 {
     if(Input.GetKeyDown("a"))
     {
           //do stuff
     }
     ...

And when you want to enable or disable input you can do that like this:

 if(Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
 {
     GameManager.IsInputEnabled = false; //disable all inputs
 }

thank you very much, this was very helpful, if you could also help me with one more thing, if I wanted to do this to an external script too, how would I do this

You can access static variable from anywhere you want. It's global. In any of your script just write Game$$anonymous$$anager.IsInputEnabled and you will access the variable.
