resetting the spawn rate after a pause

hello GS, with the help of @Hopscotch i was able to increase my spawn rate of enemies. after a certain amount of time the hero can't keep up killing enemies, but he has a nuke button. what i would like this nuke button to do is pause the game (i got the game to pause),destroy all enemies on screen (don't know how to do this) and return to original spawn rate (not sure how to do this either) and start the process over again till he finds another nuke button and so on.....
Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

    Make a global "nuke" integer attribute.

    When the nuke occurs change game.nuke to 1

    Tell the enemies that when game.nuke is 1 destroy self.

    when game.nuke = 1, timer, after .03 pause the game.

    Change game.nuke to 0.

    Change spawn rate to original spawn rate.

    Unpause game.
