The only way I've been able to do it is use custom movements for everything and limit all the normal actions in a group with a flag that determines if the game is paused or not, and then overlay the pause screen objects. More effort than it's really worth. n/a

wp Registered 22/11/2003 Points 34	28th November, 2003 at 14:57:48 - Could you please describe what the subapplication object is? I don't want to just pause the screen, I want to access a menu screen (inventory and stats for example) as well. It sounds like the subapp object will let me do that. n/a
Mr Coffee Registered 04/09/2003 Points 440	28th November, 2003 at 17:47:29 - Yes, it will let you do that. You can make your menu in another frame and then open it when the player presses "p". It will also pause the game. Edited by the Author. 99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.
