detect when character is stopped when movement is constrained

RossmanBrothersGames

hey everyone, wondering if somebody may have a solution to a problem.
I have a platformer where the character is always moving, so I have their linear velocity x constrained so that they keep moving smoothly after bumping into something for a moment.
I also have an actor for animations constrained over the main actor.
My problem is the animation actor needs to know when the main actor is stopped behind a wall or object so that it knows to animate appropriately. Problem is even when the character is stopped the constraint keeps the linear velocity x as if the character is moving.
I made a boleen attribute called stopped that I want the to switch true when the character is stopped
but the rule "when linearvelocityx = 0" won't work as it never actually does equal 0,
any other thoughts on how to tell if the actor is moving, or the screen is scrolling or anything like that?
any help very appreciated!

What are you constraining linear velocity x to?

@tatiang Two different amounts, either 215 or if the sprint button is held down it is constrained to 245

Try this.

@tatiang thanks, i really appreciate you taking the time to do that. this should work great!
