Check if an action/actionlist is currently running

iamlowlikeyou

I'd like to be able to check from an Update() function in a script if an action/actionlist is currently running. In the documentation I can only find functions that handle SPECIFIC actionlists (presuming you already know which specific actionlist you want to check), but is there a way to check if ANY actionlist whatsoever is currently running?

There isn't a need for AC itself to know this, but you can calculate it with:

If you're just trying to learn if you're in "cutscene" mode, however, then you can simply read:

AC.KickStarter.stateHandler.IsInCutscene ();

Thank you @ChrisIceBox .

Actually this was a blunder from my side. It turns out that what I needed to know was if gameplay is currently blocked, which can of course easily be done with ActionListManager.IsGameplayBlocked().

There's a few outlier cases where that'll return false but gameplay is disabled, e.g. when the player is moving towards a Hotspot.  Better to use:

!AC.KickStarter.stateHandler.IsInGameplay ();

I'll mark that, thank you.
