The game I'm making uses extensive scripts from dialogue in order to function, and one of the easiest ways to break the game is to just tab out of dialogue at key moments. Can I disable this functionality?

I asked this a few weeks ago. Aparantly disabling the players controls also disables their ability to tab-out of dialogue. Though I haven't had a chance to test it ingame. Just do a full disable (All flags set to True), then narrow it down to the one setting that does it, if it does indeed work. (Which it should)

Thanks, I'll take a look at get back to you.

I found a similar (maybe the same) problem as you. What I made is to place the script in the dialog start 'slot' instead of in the dialog end one. This way, the script executes when the NPC is going to give the response, instead of before the response end.

As I mentioned in that previous thread. this does not in fact appear to work.

Darn. Well, I guess I'll just have to instruct the relatively few people who are ever going to play my game not to do that.

I recommend requesting a DisableKey/Control command from the SKSE team, they had them in Oblivion, so they should be relatively easy to implement for ian or behip.
