Stoping the gamesalad timer with a pause menu

Professor Caine

Is there a way to stop the game salad timer from counting down when the game is paused? I have issues with pausing the time and I'm trying to get a better grasp of it.

self.Time will pause when you pause the game, but game.Time will not.

Professor Caine

I see. So make the timer it's own actor and give it attributes as apposed to having the timer a game attribute?

Professor Caine

Can you explain that in detail please?

Yes. Put the timer in an actor using self.Time, the actor's own time, rather than game.Time, the game's overall time.
