Pausing the game

oh boy do I feel silly. Well with the addition of the new pause function I figured it'd be a good idea to go ahead and add the new easy function to my game. Well I can get it to pause the game, now how do I get it to unpause?

T.T

    you have to put a button on your pause screen that uses the unpause behavior. :)

    Hey tenrdrmer, That's what I figured, but for some reason it didn't work. My bahaviours are as follows:

    (in main actor) if P is pressed and pause is false, change pause to true pause game <pause scene>

    (on a blank actor on pause screen) if P is pressed and pause is true, change pause to false and unpause

    This doesn't seem to work however... I'm so very confused

    ITshould be using the built in pause behavior and the built in unpause behavior. no attribute needed.

    If you want to do it the way your doing it, your gona have to make your pause attribute a interger. So 0 will be unpause and 1 will be paused. Have a rule when p is pressed change attribute game.pause to (game.pause+1)%2

    that will make it so when you press the the key it willl change from 0 to 1 and if oause is 1 it will change back to 0 all in the one expression and keep toggling between them

    try getting rid of the Pause is true/false checks? I don't know why you'd need them.

    I just assumed they might be necessary. It works now, thanks lol.

    Weird, eh? :O
