Stop Interpolate?

mrfunkleberry

is there anyway to stop Interpolate?

I've tried putting it in a case statement, but it didn't work.

quantumsheep

What do you mean 'stop' it? :O

Surely the 'duration' would dictate when it stops?

Or you could have a function that stop an actor not moving if a condition is true, then put the interpolate function in the 'otherwise' bit?

Or am I totally not getting something???

Thanks sheep. I'll try an Otherwise.

Sorry i didn’t explain myself very well. After initiating an interpolate, i’d like to stop it, even if it hasn’t finished yet.

quantumsheep

No worries mate. It sounded like interpolate had infested your nest or something

mrfunkleberry

you leave my nest out of this.

quantumsheep

You have the best nest. Evah!

Where do you hide all your cash then?

Have you got a swimming pool full of money instead?

Im gonna write "this is a hold up" on the next child support check! see what happens when she hands it to the bank teller

Ahh, poor TSB. In the same boat as me. That check idea is golden though! Use disappearing ink for a fake check but use permanent in for the message. heh! If only that would work.

Yeah I'm having the same issue as MrFunk. I have an interpolation going on that I need interrupted if an event happens, but it wants to finish regardless of whether it has "run to completion" checked or not. I've tried the "otherwise" method as well. Any thoughts?

Infestation imminent.

mrfunkleberry

the otherwise method did work for me. but i had to interupt it with another interpolate

when MoveMe = 1
interpolate
Otherwise
interpolate

I guess, in the end, you can never really stop interpolate. You can only put it off for a little while... and sooner or later... it catches up...

mrfunkleberry

yeah, it's like farmer giles and quantum's bottom.

jweaver911

gosh, I hope interpolate doesn't come for me. It would be a deliberately painful and possibly lengthy demise. Maybe I'll just accelerate toward another location before its too late.

Look, for the last time, he's just a 'friend'.

It would be nice to "kill" interpolate on an attribute or even all currently running ones. Similar to TweenMax in Flash ( http://www.greensock.com/tweenmax ).

+1 from me for being able to interrupt or kill an ongoing interpolate. Was just about to ask this question but I found the thread.

CodeMonkey

Change the destination of the interpolate to the value at which you want to stop it.

Nice, thanks!
