How can I pause an animation?

[Freddy]

Anyone know how I can make an actor pause on the current frame of its animation when colliding with another actor?

There's a funciton:
ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);

No, I need to have the specific frame, but, thanks anyway.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

When you add that event, choose "wait for frame action" and pick the frame!

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

if (animpos=6) // which ever frame you want to stop on
{
ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "animation_name", STOPPED);

}

sorry just reread the first post

dxt is right.

on collision event.
select "change animation direction" = stopped
then instead of "immediate action"
choose "wait for frame action"

Thanks, but I need the animation completely stopped when it collides. For ex: if I had an actor with 10 frames, and when it colided with something else, it was on the third frame, I would need the third frame paused. If it was on the 5th frame when it collided, I would need the 5th frame paused, and so on. Any ideas?

That should work with ChangeAnimationDirection(). When you collide the other Actor and you use that function, it should stop and that animpos, taht it was.

Ah, I see the problem here. I am using the script editor "change animation -> direction stopped" function, instead of the regular "change animation direction -> stopped" function. OK, problem solved, thanks everyone.
