A Pause Option?

It's always a difficult task to make a game flick to a pause screen.
You have to copy and paste the functions to every single script, and using the 'stop script' block will not allow you to restart.

So, I would request either one of the below for the next Scratch update.

-Add a 'Pause' option
-Allow to play script again even after 'stop script'

Thank you in advance.

Re: A Pause Option?

Actually that's not bad, WELL DONE!

I think though for now we're stuck with having to add a script to every sprite.

Me live on 2.0 now  sad

Thank you all for agreeing.  smile

And yes we do need to depend on script labor for now.  hmm

I think of posting a pause demo project. It's still in progress though.

Also if your gonna pause it then you need an unpause thing so that they can carry on

Re: A Pause Option?

to do so in a script is easy. it takes ages. The big problem with a scratch pause screen is that the game is bombarded with UI if there are pasue options.

I think that the pause screen could be like the stage, editable ETC and can have sprites attatched to it.

Just a thought.

<switch to costume[


FOR THE PAUSING OF A GAME IN SCRATCH 1.4:
Fit Every script with a forever, Repeat( ), Or Repeat Until < >.  with an if block with
<paused = 0> in the "hole"
Now Whenever paused is set to anything but 0 the game will be paused.

Your Script Should be
Sorry if it isn't good
____________
forever_____]
if  <paused = (0)>__|
