How to pause and unpause the Particular action of a sprite?

Question

My game has a sprite representing a character. When the character picks up an item, the sprite should stop moving for a period of time.

I use CCbezier to make the sprite move, like this:

sprite->runaction(x)

Now I want the sprite to stop its current action (moving) and later resume it. I can make the sprite stop by using:

sprite->stopaction(x)

but if I do that, I can't resume the movement. How can I do that?

You could try this:

[yourSprite pauseSchedulerAndActions]

and to resume

[yourSprite resumeSchedulerAndActions]

If that shouldn't work, another option might be:

//pause
[sprite.actionManager pauseTarget:sprite];

//resume
[sprite.actionManager resumeTarget:sprite];

Yes, cocos2d-x has a built in way to do this. If you want to pause everything the character is doing you can simply use:

  _character->pause();

  _character->resume();


  _scheduler->pauseTarget(_character);

 _scheduler->resumeTarget(_character);

NOTE: this also pauses any actions being performed on the character. If you want to continue the actions, but just pause the animation, do this instead:
_scheduler is declared in the Node class, so all classes that inherit from it have access to it
