Allows you to stop any "called by other action" you include!


Syntax:

stopAction(action)


Example 1: basic stop action method

--[[
!important: you must take care when using this method that you don't have multiple instances of actions with the same name otherwise it will not work correctly!

-- shortened get action method; !important: see comment above!
stoptAction("Actions[action_name]")


-- full get action method; !recommended
stoptAction("Scenes[scene_name].SceneObjects[object_name].SceneActions[action_name]")
