Hi everyone,
So I have this game where I decided to include a pause feature.. it's a speed game so eventually things go so fast that simply freezing the game and unfreezing would result in failure because resuming would be so fast a user couldn't realistically react in time..
what i tried:
i have a new attribute called "speed buffer" which when i pause i pass the current game speed to that and then immediately interpolate to 0. this works.. i confirmed it.. the right speed is stashed ready to be called on again.
the issue i run into is when i un-pause, i am trying to interpolate the game speed (which is at 0) back to the "speed buffer".. but what i end up with is it jerking back to full speed.. not gradually speeding back up to original speed when paused.
any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Caleb
