animationGroup play backwards issue

[Evgeni_Popov]

As explained by @11128, the way to handle this is to use start/stop. However, you should save the current frame when hitting “pause”, so that you can restart from the right frame afterwards:

Gltf Animation loops when i click, how to stop the loop

I found a way to make it work: Just stopping the animation and setting the speed ratio was not working (at least for me), the animation was restarting from frame 0 and not from the current frame. I needed to get the current frame and play the animation from this frame to the from or to frame value, depending on the direction of the animation. @Cie You can check animation.isStarted to know if the animation is still playing or not to disable mouse clicks.
