Disable/Enable Player input?

Is there a way to disable and enable player input?

Currently, I have a script that takes in player input and I'm wondering if in another script,
I can temporarily disable player input and later re-enable it.

Edit: I want to display player input and have the player-object move via script (like its moving on a conveyor belt).

Sorry, I'm still fairly new to all this.
Thanks for your time and hep.
