You're welcome, Wizaerd. :)

In my techniques of animating character movement, I sometimes have to choose between using a path, or going into "Director" mode, and using the walk animation in that, using the keyboard as a means to control where the character goes.

My criteria:
Do I want the character continuously walking to the end of their journey? Or do I want them to make stops along the way?

If the question is the the former, I'll use the path method I described.
If the latter, I'll go into Director mode, making stops where I wish them to stop, and resuming when I wish them to resume.

Now, this is to say that I've not learned AML/XML. I don't know how to make scripts to allow for different animations in Director mode, based on the needs of the scene. So, sometimes, I have to just wing it, and strike a balance between the two techniques.

I guess you can say that my usage of Director mode, at least for now, is a broadsword solution for stop/start animations during walking. :)
