Stop the Update function so death animation can complete.

Question

Hello, i have an enemy character that has a death animation. When i kill the enemy, the death animation begins to play (In the "Death" function), stops halfway and repeats function Update and begins the chase animation again. How do i fix this?

var target : Transform; //the enemy's target var moveSpeed = 3; //move speed var rotationSpeed = 3; //speed of turning var attackThreshold = 3; // distance within which to attack var chaseThreshold = 10; // distance within which to start chasing var giveUpThreshold = 20; // distance beyond which AI gives up var attackRepeatTime = 1; // delay between attacks when within range

var maximumHitPoints = 5.0; var hitPoints = 5.0;

private var chasing = false; private var attackTime : float;

var myTransform : Transform; //current transform data of this enemy

function Awake() { myTransform = transform; //cache transform data for easy access/preformance }

function Start() { target = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform; //target the player }

function Update () {

 // check distance to target every frame:
 var distance = (target.position - myTransform.position).magnitude;

 if (chasing) {
 Debug.Log ("player is close");
     animation.CrossFade("Walk");

     //rotate to look at the player
     myTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(myTransform.rotation,
     Quaternion.LookRotation(target.position - myTransform.position), rotationSpeed*Time.deltaTime);

     //move towards the player
     myTransform.position += myTransform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

     // give up, if too far away from target:
     if (distance &gt; giveUpThreshold) {
         chasing = false;

     }

     // attack, if close enough, and if time is OK:
     if (distance &lt; attackThreshold &amp;&amp; Time.time &gt; attackTime) {
         animation.CrossFade("Attack");
         target.SendMessage( "ApplyDamage", 1);
         attackTime = Time.time + attackRepeatTime;
     }

 } else {
     // not currently chasing.

 Debug.Log("not close yet " + distance); animation.CrossFade("Idle"); // start chasing if target comes close enough if (distance < chaseThreshold) { chasing = true; } } }

function OnCollisionEnter (collision : Collision) {

if(collision.gameObject.name==("SmallProjectile1(Clone)"))

var contact : ContactPoint = collision.contacts[0]; var rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, contact.normal);

Hit(); }

function Hit () { // Apply damage hitPoints -= 1;

     if (hitPoints &lt; 0.0) {
     Die();

} }

function Die(){ animation.Play("Death"); chasing = false; }

function Update()
{
   if(notPlayingDyingAnimation)
   {
      //Your normal update
   }
   else
   {
      //Your death animation code
   }
}

Can't seem to get this to work correctly, it gives me semicolon errors for "void Update()" $$anonymous$$aybe i'm implementing it wrong?

"void Update" is C#; replace "void" with "function". It's generally best to post using the language that the question was asked in.
