Can CCAnimations be paused?

Question

I am new to cocos2d. I am using CCAnimation. It's working fine, except I want to pause the animation occasionally. How do I do this?

Here's what I'm doing so far:

[mySprite runAction:[CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:[CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:walkAnim]]];

Answer 1

You can pause all the actions for a node, but not individually.

Basically you can do something like this

[[CCActionManager sharedManager] pauseTarget:node];

[[CCActionManager sharedManager] resumeTarget:node];

Answer 2

There's no pause per se. You can use stopAction or stopActionByTag to stop it and run it again when you want to resume.

Check the API here for these methods.
