Hi,

I cant really figure out how to make a pause menu. I want the game to pause with all objects and actives on stop while it is pause and then unstop them.I have no idea if The Games Factory 2 comes with something that can help me make the pause menu.I could use some help making a pause menu since one way or another.

This could require a pretty long answer.

But I think the simplest solution would be a Subapp! Basically make a whole different frame for the menu. Then load it into the main game as a sub application using the sub application object. You would need to handle the actual pausing the game part yourself depending on what objects you've used. But placing all your events into a big group and disabling it should work if you have a custom engine.

There's a quick example i made just now ^

If you're using a subapp, you can set it to "modal" and it will automatically pause everything else until the subapp is closed - no need to deactivate any groups.
