Notes

• Disabling movement also disables the UI (at least partially), and other actors can't attack a player with a disabled movement. You may want to consider using Game.GetPlayer().SetDontMove() or Game.GetPlayer().SetRestrained() instead.
• Disabling player movement also disables the ability for the player to activate objects.
• If you disable movement while the hud is in "cart mode" (via SetHudCartMode()) then the "cart mode" will be lost until you re-enable movement again.
• This can be used if you want to close in game menus and other screens opened by player. Simply call this then enable back the controls. Tested with player inventory and opened books. Doesn't seem to work on containers.
• If this is called immediately on quest start as the result of an OnInit firing, this function will not fire.
