How can I make a Pause screen?

otherwise quick ways are dialogbox, Question & Answer objects they pause the app while displayed.

You can also put your whole game in a group except the menu and inventory, which would have its own group you activated deactivated.. Activate it Deactivate it to pause the game.

I do it the way nivram suggests. Though it's worth noting that deactivating/activating a big group isn't necessarily enough to comprehensively pause everything. In-built movements (eg. bouncing ball) will keep playing, extension-controlled movements (eg. flocking object) will keep playing, animations will keep playing, the timer will keep running, and maybe some other things too. Depending on your needs, you may need to forcibly pause/unpause all of those too.

In-built movements and animations are easy enough. Give everything that you want to be paused some qualifer (I use a custom "pausable" qualifier but you need :cf25+: for that - but any qualifier will do), then when you pause, you do: Please login to see this picture. and then on unpause: Please login to see this picture..

To pause the timer, just record the current timer (at time of pause) to an alterable value Please login to see this picture. and then set the timer to that recorded time at unpause: Please login to see this picture.

Thanks for the tips Volnaiskra. I remember having issues with pausing animations in the past. I'm gonna hopefully remember to revisit this thread if I run into them again.

I'm also doing it this way - all of my main game events are in a "Main" group and this pauses when it's deactivated. Vol raises a good point regarding animations - you will have to start and stop animations using the method he has described.
