After some guidance from @jonathan and some code from the Hype Extension project by @MarkHunte, you can disable the scene swipe action on a specific scene by running this function ‘On Scene Load’:
sceneElement.style.setProperty("pointer-events", "none", "important");
on the scene element, so the full code would be:
var sceneElement;
//-- get current scene
var hypeContainer = document.getElementById(hypeDocument.documentId());
var sceneArray = hypeContainer.getElementsByClassName("HYPE_scene");
for (i = 0; i < sceneArray.length; i++) {
if (sceneArray[i].style.display === "block") sceneElement = sceneArray[i];
}
sceneElement.style.setProperty("pointer-events", "none", "important");
