UnPause not working

Pyrite

I made a Pause butten and a UnPause button, so for the Pause button I made it so if pressed then Pause the Scene the game is on (IT WORKS (:) BUT! When I added this to the unpause butten: if pressed then unpause game it wont work.

TL;DR The game pauses, but doesn't unpause when I press unpause

(PLEASE HELP!)

lol... I've never seen a TL;DR for such a short post (47 words!).

Without seeing your rules for pausing and unpausing, it's impossible to know what you've done wrong. Please either type out the exact rules or post a screenshot of them (see my signature below for instructions).

Here are some pics:

this is probably a stupid response, but is your un-pause button placed in "initial scene"?

Pyrite

Yes

tatiang

Put a log debugging statement in each rule (pause and unpause) and then open the Debugger window to see if the rules are being triggered when you click the related button.

Pyrite

Put a log debugging statement?

Pyrite

Okay, I did, I checked debugger and it says nothing!

So that indicates that neither of your rules are firing. Now you have to figure out why.

Make sure you haven't unlocked the actors on the scene (double click them on the scene to check).

If you want, you can send me a link to download your file from a file-sharing site or post it here. Be sure to .zip the project file first. I'll take a look and let you know why it isn't working.

Oh boy, my UnPause is unlocked. But, my Pause is locked How to fix? and thanks! (:

tatiang

An unlocked actor is an "instance" and has its own unique rules that are different from the prototype actor (the actor in the actors' inspector pane). To fix it, either click "Revert to prototype" or delete the actor from the scene and drag it back on. Be sure to check the rules of the prototype actor after doing that... one set of rules will remain but it may not be the set you thought you were editing.

Pyrite

I did all of that, but it still doesn't work.

tatiang

Sorry that we couldn't get it working.

Pyrite

So, there is not way of making it work? ):

ultima

of course, there is, just upload your game somewhere, removing everything except pause/unpause rules and someone can help you sort it out, it's very easy task.

Pyrite

Well, my game is like Flappy Bird but different. So, when I hit pause it pauses the bird itself and the whole scene. I already showed the Rules for the Pause and UnPause, if it should work it doesn't.

tatiang

You showed your rules but there is a larger context when you are developing a game. There are other actors, other scenes, etc. I can think of half a dozen reasons it might not be working but without the file I'd just be guessing. The only way to find the problem is to post or send (via private message) a link to download your file. If you prefer not to do that, it's fine.

Pyrite

Okay, I'll send a file later.
