Stop animation in specific frame

Enter this inside:

 ActiveAnimations["animation name"].FirstFrame = b
 ActiveAnimations["animation name"].LastFrame = b

b = number of frame b

Quick tip: you can edit animation frames & insert action parts/execute a scripts into them, so edit the frame you want it to pause on & create an execute a script action part & use the setAnimFrames() function to force it to loop that frame.

Alternatively, you could just create the animation up to the frame you want, then create another scene object that you link a condition or value to. The linked condition/value will determine if the scene object should be visible/active or invisible/inactive. You would play the animation, then set the condition/value to the desired value to show the scene object.

How can I play the same longer animation in reverse?

Now I start and stop the animation with this script:

function setAnimFrames(anim, a, b)

 if b == nil then b = a end -- fallback in case only a value was entered

 ActiveAnimations[anim].AnimationLastFrame = b

end

but how can I tell it to play in reverse? (Imagine a fuel status bar that fills up and then reduces)

You can toggle the play direction of an active animation (animation that is playing) like so...

true = reverse, false = forward.
