Using PlayerCinematicControl node in FlowGraph
Overview
PlayerCinematicControl node in Flowgraph comes in handy when we need to control the player in the cutscene with player control.
This is meant to limit the ability of the player that may hinder or interrupt while the scene is playing. This is also usable for doing transition from gameplay to cutscene.

How to use the PlayerCinematicControl node

Make sure to trigger ResetAll when the player should gain all the control back.
