pause game play for short while

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hi Guys.

    Just a quick question:

    How do pause the game play preventing the player from playing for a short period, so I can use the time to display a message to say 'One life lost' or to play some sort of animation, and then resume back to the game?

    Thank you in advance.

    Edit: Sorry, I didn't realise there were similar questions like mine, so should have checked previous posts first. Can't delete this post I think...

  • You can also achieve this by using a Game Loop for your game.
    This works best if your not using any Built In Movements, but shoiuld still be possible if you do.
    You basically need to include 'on loop Game Loop' condition in all of your conditions, but if your Event Editor is pretty big you might not want to do this.

    Anyway, if you do this you can create a PauseCounter and do:

    If PauseCountr = 0
    -->
    Run loop 'GameLoop' 1 time
    Start all anmimation

    If PauseCountr = 1
    -->
    Stop all built in movements
    Stop all animations

    How can i change username and display name?

  • What I do to pause my game, is to have all events in groups in the event editor, and then deactivate the groups when the game gets paused. Also you have to pause movements, animations and such, but it works perfectly!
