Is there an easier way to do this without adding more confusing variables every time a sprite starts/stops it's animation? I'm making some like a poor-man's Baldur's Gate and I want the SPACE bar to pause/unpause the screen. But I get the error when I use the resumeSprite() command because I never used stopSprite() with some of them. I could do it with variables, but I really don't wanna make the source code any more complex.

I want a command like getSpriteStopped() or something. Is there something stupid I'm overlooking?

Thanks.

Returns 1 if the sprite is currently playing an animation, 0 if not.
integer GetSpritePlaying( iSpriteIndex )

It's difficult to give a solution without a bit more context to your code, as it doesn't provide any details as to how you're playing your sprites in the first place -- whether they are at different frame rates, loop statuses etc. But, assuming you're keeping it as simple as possible and only using PlaySprite() with no arguments for frame rate, start/end frames or looping, and not setting frames manually beforehand, you could use a GetSpriteCurrentFrame() check to see if the current frame is 1. It stands to reason that if you haven't actually started playing the sprite with PlaySprite(), that's what it will be. If that's the case, then use PlaySprite() instead of ResumeSprite().

Thank you, Hendron. GetSpriteCurrentFrame() was a simple fix.
