I have CTA 2 Pro.

I would like to move by walking my character, then I want he stops to do something or talk to another character, and then continues on his path. but I don't know how to stop him at the middle path, the time to make the action (speak to another character for example) without continuing to walk.
Thank’s for your help

It's all about keyframes. In the transform channel in the timeline, there should be a keyframe in the first frame which represents where they begin. At the point in the walk where you want them to stop, add a keyframe (there's an add keyframe button in the top toolbar of the timeline, but you must click in the transform channel in the frame you want the keyframe to appear). Then copy that keyframe and paste it to the frame right before you want the character to begin walking again, then from there finish out your walk.

I'd also like to point out that if you're using a walking motion clip, you'll most likely have to break it into segments so they don;t keep walking in place when they hit the spot you want them to stop at.

Thank you very much for your help and your fast answer BigGrin, I begin with CrazyTalk 2, so far I made simple animations, and I see that I have still a lot of things to learn.
Merci beaucoup Wink
