Best way for make a full screen pause menu?

[Corentin]

Isn't there a checkbox such as "Share global values and strings" is it checked ?

What if you want to make the pause menu transparent, or semi-transparent, over the main game? Is there any way to do that?

I found a way to make it!
but I have to keep the counter = global variable under ALWAYS

I wonder if its a good practice? because I dont like to keep things under ALWAYS except for few exceptions.

I dont know.. I will keep it that way and if I find a better way to refresh my counter or certian good conditon I will report back, for now, its working !

If you're after some basic transparency, just use Window Shape (although be careful, if you use an Active object as a mask and then resize your application the Window Shape will still apply the mask from the original size of the Active Object). Otherwise you'll have to make a screenshot of your current app etc (already explained by DavidN elsewhere).

Well the latest build finally fixed some bugs that previously made it impossible to have the inventory / pause in its own frame that you can summon any time you need without using the subapplication, screencapturing and the Active picture.

Without further ado let me present you a very nice way of making the pause / inventory menu:
Please take a look!

Basically this method uses the new "Save / Load Frame" functions to keep things organised.
