How do I pause and restart different animations of one sprite?

Hi,

In my game, you have to roast pancakes from both sides. For this, I made an "upside" and a "downside" animation, in which the sides slowly gets brown.

If the player touches the pancake, the pancake should turn around. The side which is not in contact with the pan should pause at the actual frame and start from that frame, if being turned again.

I tried to solve it something like this:

-stop "uspide" animation

-change to "downside"

-start "downside" animation

But both animations are behaving equally and dont stop and start at the respective frames.

Is it solvable with one instance?

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks a lot,

held

Hi,

this is the section where the magic should happen. If you do a swipe-gesture above the pankace (here: "Grillgut") it should turn around, pause animation and so on. Enough information?

Thanks!

EDIT: I managed to store the animation frame to a variable which works fine for one instance. But as there are multiple instances on the screen, the one stored frame number does not fit the next instance. Hmmm, tricky.

I have an idea that each pancake you will have variables to store the current frame for the side and the state of pancake is facing up or not.

pancake have instance variable :

- facedown_frame (number)

- faceup_frame (number)

- isFaceUp (Boolean)

=> For Each pancake

If isFaceUp = true :

>> add 1 to facedown_frame

>> Set pancake frame to Self.facedown_frame

If isFaceUp = false:

>> add 1 to faceup_frame

>> Set pancake frame to Self.faceup_frame

Just my idea when thinking about your issue.
