Hi all,
is there an easy way to detect if there is almost one application in playing?
I have a lot of animations and I don’t want to declare and check one by one.

For me, the best solution should be something like:

if
is_animation_playing > any_object = true
do
…
end if

Thank you very much

If your objects have only one animation and all animations have the same name as their objects then you can use this

Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

and these names differ from the names of their objects? Then you should use scripting
```
function isAnimActive() {
    for (let j = 0; j < app.actions.length; j++) {
        if (app.actions[j].isRunning()) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

if (isAnimActive()) {
    console.log('at least one animation is active');
} else {
    console.log('all animations are stopped');
}
```

Kdv77kdv, your help is very precious ad I think we are very close to the solution but the script return an error and the application doesn’t start.
I tryied to manage it connecting to different blocks but nothing.
And if I past in external .js it return an error, seems that
app.actions…
instruction is not recognized.

I’m using the last version, Verge 4.1 with activated licence.

Could be the version the problem?
Is the syntax different?

Thank you again

You cannot use the variable app in external scripts. This variable is declared in visual_logic.js only…

The script above will work with no problems in the main section of puzzles, but will not in the init section.

p.s. I’ve just noticed that this forum breaks the script ))) It hides i in the square brackets. I’ve updated the script by replacing i with j in the loop ))) The screenshot is showing the correct variant )))
