Re: Pause Option.

I want the pause to be a script block so you could have a pause screen. Oh and pausing is possible but you need to use a pausing variable and check if pausing for every script. Oh and you could make a pause button but keep the game playing.

Re: Pause Option.

I think it's a bit unnecessary. Though some games have built-in pause features. Check out m44's game 'stick m up'. It has a pause feature. stick m up

Re: Pause Option.

the pause option COULD remove the need for a ton of variables

That's true, but it's still a bit unnecessary.

Re: Pause Option.

I personally think it is a good idea! I don't think it should have a pause script though, it should be next to the green flag, or the stop sign. But great idea!  wink

Re: Pause Option.

And I agree with Jonathan. Pause feature is bit useless, if you can make it yourself.
