How to pause a score

[malsmith21]

I was wondering if it was at all possible to pause the score when an object is clicked. I was thinking that instead of doing that I could pause the screen, but I don't know if even that is possible. I also need to be able to unpause the screen/score when a button is pressed.

Not 100% familiar with the score object, but you could use flags/groups to achieve this.
Eg
button clicked (pause): deactivate group "scoring"

Button clicked (unpause): activate group "scoring"

Then have all your events that manipulate scoring in a group.
Group is deactivated when game is paused, group is activated when the game is resumed.

Or switch on/off internal flags?
