Auto-hold player`s controls via Luna Lua?

[Just_Thomas]

Hello,
how can you use "Auto-hold player`s controls" via scripting?
I would be surprised if this only works with classic events. I created a level where you "force slide down" a hill a the beginning to teach a new player, that this way enemies can be easily defeated. Works of course with the classic events very well.

But I would like to do it via scipting, since I feel like I could do a little more with it (however I am not any kind of expert there).
Sections "Player Keys constants" or "Player class" from the wiki did not bring me any further.
I can not test everything since sometimes I just do not get anything without a good example.
Custom scripts like the "Flagpole" from Murphmario's NPC Pack Version 1.3.1 were a little bit too complex for me, but it looks like, it only controlled the movement via frames (which is optical only).

So, if somebody can tell me, it would be nice.

Is this really not possible? Like I said, I could not find anything about that.
The most common example in the Mario games is the start of 1-2 oder 4-2 in the original SMB, where Mario moves right towards the pipe, before the level actually does begin.

if you set player.keys.right = true in onTick, your player will walk to the right forever
you can ombine this concept with if statements to functionally create automatic player movement

Yes, thank you, after some testing and with help of inputs2.locked[1].all I made it work. Code might look sloppy but well... it works for now.
