CALL_PAUSEANIMATION and CALL_RESUMEANIMATION

Syntax

CALL_PAUSEANIMATION(AnimNum)

CALL_RESUMEANIMATION(AnimNum)

Description

CALL_PAUSEANIMATION pauses the animation of ALL sprites using AnimNum animation sequence. This is useful if you want to stop the animation of multiple sprites at once, or simply want to stop a specific animation sequence. Moving animated sprites will pause their animation sequence but will continue their current motion.

CALL_RESUMEANIMATION resumes the animation of ALL sprites using AnimNum animation sequence.

Example Code

randomize timer()
call_magnify(2)
one$=call_charpat(49)
call_char(128,one$)   `Create image frame 1 from ASCII 49, the number "1"
a$ = "00BBB0000099190000999000000900000FFFFF00F0FFF0F090FFF0900CC0CC00"
b$ = "1111111122223333444455556666888888889999AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEEFFFF"
call_multicolorchar(129,a$) `Create image frame 2 using a multicolor character
call_multicolorchar(130,b$) `Create image frame 3 using a multicolor character
call_createanimation(1,128,3,1)  ` Create animation sequence 1 - 3 frames from 128 to 130
call_createanimation(2,65,26,1)  ` Create animation sequence 2 - 26 frames from 65 to 90
call_sprite(1,128,0,96,128,rnd(20)-10,rnd(20)-10)  ` Create sprite for animation sequence 1
call_sprite(2,65,5,80,1,0,5)  ` Create sprite for animation sequence 2
call_createanimatedsprite(1,1,500) ` Start sprite animation 1
tiwaitkey()
CALL_PAUSEANIMATION(1) ` Pause animation number 1
