Pause screen problems--please help

master200012

I have a simple puzzle game involving a ball, switches, and a goal with a timer.

I have a pause actor, too. It pauses the game when "touch is inside." However, when I test the game in preview or on an iphone, it only briefly brings up the screen. Then, it puts it resumes just as fast as it pops up, making it impossible to use. The timer also seems to stop when resuming.

I have five actors--resume, restart, menu, pause background, and displayed timer--in my pause scene.

Please help!

No one?! Come on!

Ensure that the unpause actor only does so when it is pressed/released.

If that doesn't work, don't use "touch is inside" use "released".

It still doesn't fix the main problem, but the timer is working again.

Any more suggestions anyone?

Come on people! Puleeeeeez!

Do I have to make a new thread?

This isn't working.

What rule do you have set up to resume game?

master200012

When touch is inside,
Unpause game.

Seems right to me. :P

Is the resume button in your pause menu right under the pause button from the scene being paused? If it is, then try moving the resume button to the opposite side of the screen.

Well, I found part of my problem. I was producing many screens on top of each other, so the original scene was placed over the other screens. However, now I can't restart or pause and continue my timer.

Please send me your kind thoughts and wisdom.

Perhaps you could show us some pictures of the rules you have set up in the pause menu and in the scene that's being paused. It's very difficult to hone in on a result with so many unknowns.

seems like everything was done right the only thing i see you can do is try to delete the rules and put them back in, I have noticed sometime when i have problems and im doing everything right that this fixes it.
