  • 1.  Stop object from animating

    Posted 04-30-2014 18:52
    I have made a sports ticker which flips through the scores of current games. The data fades in, holds, and then fades out. When the scene director reaches a pause event it will restart at frame 0 and progress to the next item in a txt file.

    Each set of scores display the kind of game being played. (eg MLB, NBA, etc) I'd like to stop the data from animating out if the kind of sport hasn't changed from the previous item.

    I've already set up a variable (non-visible text object) that I can use to check if the current sport is the same as the previous sport but I don't know how to stop the object from fading out.

    thanks for your help!

    Make an other animcontroller alone on a track just for this text object.

    Then if the text is the same that the previous item, disable the track , and the text will not fade out... (and else enable it).

    I got it working. I had to control the text object with a second script in the middle of the play animation. Otherwise it enables/disables the animcontroller mid transition. Other than that it worked great!

    Thanks again!
