Help resetting during pause and moving between scenes

NesesitaGames

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble with this. Here's my set up:

When you click PAUSE during gameplay, I have a slideout menu with these options:

- Resume
- Sound Off / Sound On
- Main Menu Button

I've got Resume and Sound Off/On working fine, but when you Go to Main Menu then return to the Play Scene, everything is still Paused, and:
- Pause Slideout is still there
- Ball is caught in midair
- UnPause doesn't work

I set up a game.ResetAll attribute on an offscreen invisible Controller (integer), but when I tried adding a Change Attribute > game.ResetAll > 1 to my Main Menu Button, then return to the Scene from the Main Menu, it's still in that state.

Would appreciate any help / ideas? Thank you

have you tried hooking up a boolean to the pause menu, and when you press the pause button, making it change attribute>boolean>true. then on pausemenu, if boolean=true, show pausemenu. then when you click the mainmenu button to go to the mainscreen, add a change attribute to the rule, saying when mainmenu button is pressed, boolean = false?

Thanks, AjBlue! Here's what I've done so far... and my CONTINUE button isn't working properly either! driving me a little batty:

PAUSE Button:
If Pressed > Change game.Game_Paused to TRUE

SCENE CONTROLLER (off-screen, invisible instance):

If game.Game_Paused is TRUE >
: Freeze everything, and
: Slideout all menu buttons (using Interpolate), including CONTINUE Button

If game.Kill_Game_Menu is TRUE >
: Slide back all menu buttons
: Change game.Game_Paused to FALSE

CONTINUE Button:
If Pressed >
: Change game.Game_Paused to FALSE
: Change game.Kill_Pause_Menu to TRUE

It works properly the first time... but when I pause again, and continue again, my Kill_Game_Menu doesn't work.

Is my set up all wrong?

AjBlue

why do you have two game paused to false behaviors?

Thanks, AjBlue- and I was mistaken, I didn't have two of those... am just lacking sleep

Okay, my unpause is working now nicely now. Thanks!
