Animating an actor

jbrown2177

I have a bit of a dilemma with what i'm trying to do. I have an actor in which once it makes contact with another actor I want it to animate itself like it's being destroyed. However, when it touches that actor it performs the animation, but continues to drop as I have the main actor accelerating downward emulating gravity. So my explosion happens, but it it also drops and accelerates down. How do I stop my animation from continuing the acceleration of my main actor?

I have always found booleans the best way for animation, some prefer integers but they don't really work for complex animations.

Have you tried un-ticking the 'movable' attribute for the explosion actor?

Or if you have the acceleration of the initial actor controlled by a boolean attribute, set that to false whenever the condition that cause the explosion are active.
