Stop moving player when death animation is played

hi everybody, i'm new here and i need you're help. Is somebody know how to disable controls when an animation (or an other event) is played.

My main character collide with an obstacle and have no more life. So I it die. I launch death animation but curently the player can yet move it with keyboad input.

Thanks a lot for the help. I'm a beginner ^^

You can block it out with a condition such as when the player dies you set var dead=0 to dead=1. Then under controls you have if dead=0, so when player is dead you can't move.

Thanks Plinkie. It's the perfect method. ^^

It works.

But one of my problem was, how to stop the "platform" comportment of the player. Finally I Found it.

As you said I used a variable for the life/death state of the player.

When the player is in "death" state I used the "define ignore the entry" action.

Yeah you can just say if is dead, disable the Platform behaviour.

Great !! It's better you're right. I did it.

Or bllaaa another way of doing this if you had all the player controlls in a group called lets say "Pcontrolls" you could disable the group when you want to and activate it when you want to.

Thanks Laurence, it's a good idea too. I will test it.

Do you know wich of this different method is the best practice? Maybe no one is better ?
