How to Disable my player controller script, if I have many characters?

Hello! Good day to everyone. :)

WHAT I HAVE IN MY GAME:

• I have a typical player controller script in my game (move, jump, attack).

• Several characters to choose from before playing the actual game (maybe more than 10).

• There’s a part in my game where i need to disable my player controller script so that he cannot move. (say: a trap that freezes you for seconds.)

MY PROBLEM:

• How should I approach the disabling of the player controller script of my character if i have at least 10 different player controller script with different names, since each character has different skills (one has double jump, one has melee attack)?

WHAT I HAVE SO FAR:

• I have 1 User Controller Script that is separate from my player controller script. (User Controller Script = my universal script exclusively for input)

My User Controller Script is a bit like this:

---

 PlayerController playercontroller =  GetComponent<PlayerController>();
 
 void Update() {
 If (Input.GetButtonDown.(“Jump”))
 jump = true;
 
 If (Input.GetButtonDown.(“Attack”))
 attack = true;
 ………………
                playercontroller.move (bool jump, bool attack,………………….);
 }

*This is not my actual script.

---

I am thinking of just disabling my User Controller, since I only have 1 User Controller.

If so, then my new problem is: How can User Controller call player controller script that has at least 10 different names?

Shall I use:

---

 UserController :MonoBehavior
 
 If (GetComponent<PlayerController1>() == !null)
 playercontroller = GetComponent<PlayerController1>();
 
 else If (GetComponent<PlayerController2>() == !null)
 playercontroller = GetComponent<PlayerController2>();
 ………………………..
 playercontroller.move (bool jump, bool attack,………………….);

---

Does this work?

Also as I have said earlier i have at least 10 characters, which will make a very long list.

How can User Controller know which type of player controller to use in the first place?

AGAIN MY PROBLEMS ARE:

• What is the most efficient way to disable my characters, when they approach a trap?

• How can User Controller get player controller script of different names?

• Can i make an empty public Script variable and drag my different player controllers in there, so User Controller can call that variable instead?

I am sorry, can’t convey my thoughts effectively.

Thank you very much
