Temporarily turn off movement at will

The problem

I'll explain what I want to do: When focusing on the game's UI, the camera shouldn't react to the player's input. For example, if there's a side panel that the player must click, the camera shouldn't move when approaching the window edge. If there's a list to scroll through, the camera shouldn't zoom when the mouse is over that list.

Possible solution

Provide a resource, for example

#[derive(Resource, Default)]
pub struct SkipMovement;

That you can add when you need to keep the camera still, and then in src/controller.rs

impl Plugin for RtsCameraControlsPlugin {
    fn build(&self, app: &mut App) {
        app.add_plugins(DefaultRaycastingPlugin).add_systems(
            Update,
            (zoom, pan, grab_pan, rotate)
                .run_if(not(resource_exists::<SkipMovement>()))
                .before(RtsCameraSystemSet),
        );
    }
}

That way, while the resource exists, the camera won't react to the player's input, and you can remove the resource when defocusing the UI.

There's an enabled attribute to the RtsCameraControls component. Is that not suitable?

Can toggle like this:

fn toggle_camera_controls_system(
    key_input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>,
    mut controls_q: Query<&mut RtsCameraControls>,
) {
    if key_input.just_pressed(KeyCode::KeyT) {
        for mut controls in controls_q.iter_mut() {
            controls.enabled = !controls.enabled;
        }
    }
}

Oh sorry, I'm dumb. I hadn't seen that
