Changing the speed of an animation with DS

[lostmushroom]

I've been reading the documentation on using DS with the animator but haven't found quite what I'm looking for. Is there a way to change the speed of an animation that's currently playing using the sequence field?

I have a scrolling background that sometimes needs to be "paused". So I'm wondering if there's a way to set the speed to 0 in one dialogue node, then back to 1 in the next.

Hi,

You could use a blend tree for the scrolling background animator state. Blend on a float parameter, where 0 is stopped and 1 is scrolling:

Then use the AnimatorFloat() sequencer command to set the float parameter.

I totally forgot Blend Trees were a thing. Thanks Tony!

Glad to help!
