[SOLVED] Animation pause event is only called once

Phaser 3
1

Hi all,

So I’m creating my animation and playing it on player input (when the player walks right) with something like this in my update loop:
if (this.keyboard.D.isDown) { this.player.play('right', true); }

However, with only this the whole animation loop plays. I’d like to pause the animation on a keyup event, and I do that like this in my create method:
this.input.keyboard.on("keyup_D", ()=>{ this.player.anims.pause(this.player.anims.currentAnim.frames[0]); });

and it works but for only the first keyup event. I stepped through the debugger and the event is definitely being created with once = false, as the default should be. Any clues as to what my be causing this? I have tried testing in chrome and safari. I have also confirmed that the callback is being called correctly (everytime) just the actual pause event only occurs the first time.

I’m fairly new to phaser/javascript.

I used setFrame in the callback rather than pause to set the idle frame after some suggestions in the phaser3 discord.
