Hi Forum,
I’m attempting to write a simple game similar to ‘temple run’ and so far I’ve created a character in blender with ‘walk’, ‘jump’ and ‘slide’ animations which I then loaded onto jme3 and assigned triggers to each of the animations which work perfectly fine. However I need to be able to pause and unpause the game whenever I want and I’ve already looked into AppStates but problem is, I don’t really understand how to use it in my code which is as follows :
package game;
import com.jme3.animation.AnimChannel;
import com.jme3.animation.AnimControl;
import com.jme3.animation.AnimEventListener;
import com.jme3.animation.LoopMode;
import com.jme3.app.Application;
import com.jme3.app.SimpleApplication;
import com.jme3.app.state.AbstractAppState;
import com.jme3.app.state.AppStateManager;
import com.jme3.cinematic.MotionPath;
import com.jme3.input.KeyInput;
import com.jme3.input.controls.AnalogListener;
import com.jme3.input.controls.KeyTrigger;
import com.jme3.light.DirectionalLight;
import com.jme3.math.ColorRGBA;
import com.jme3.math.FastMath;
import com.jme3.math.Vector3f;
import com.jme3.scene.CameraNode;
import com.jme3.scene.Node;
import com.jme3.scene.control.CameraControl.ControlDirection;
import com.jme3.cinematic.events.MotionTrack;

}

DirectionalLight dl = new DirectionalLight();
dl.setDirection(new Vector3f(200f, 200f, 200f).normalizeLocal());
rootNode.addLight(dl);
player = (Node) assetManager.loadModel(“Models/N0name/Cube.mesh.j3o”);
player.rotate(-90FastMath.DEG_TO_RAD, 0f, 0f);
player.setLocalScale(0.1f);
rootNode.attachChild(player);
control = player.getControl(AnimControl.class);
control.addListener(this);
channel = control.createChannel();
// Disable the default flyby cam
flyCam.setEnabled(false);
//create the camera Node
camNode = new CameraNode(“Camera Node”, cam);
//This mode means that camera copies the movements of the target:
camNode.setControlDir(ControlDirection.SpatialToCamera);
//Attach the camNode to the target:

//Move camNode, e.g. behind and above the target:
camNode.setLocalTranslation(new Vector3f(0, 20, 27));
//Rotate the camNode to look at the target:

I’m really sorry if the answer is obvious but I honestly do fail to see how to use it in my code and if anyone could please help me out, I’d greatly appreciate it 
Thanks in Advance
