marker to pause and maker to resume keyframed animation?

[JuanLuis Vich]

hello!

I thought this would be easy, but I can’t get it to work.

Could someone know how to get that, having an animation with keyframes, when a marker is found, that animation is paused, until the next marker, which makes the animation to resume? (and so on in the following pairs of markers?)

thank you very much!

Try this:

m = marker;
acc = 0;
if (m.numKeys > 0){
  n = m.nearestKey(time).index;
  if (time < m.key(n).time) n--;
  if (n > 0){
    if (n%2){
      acc = time - m.key(n).time;
    }
    for (i = 1; i < n; i += 2){
      acc += m.key(i+1).time - m.key(i).time;
    }
  }
}
valueAtTime(time - acc)

BTW, it does just the opposite (runs the animation between marker pairs) if you change the last line to this:

valueAtTime(acc)

Dan, thank you very much, it works wonderfully!
