Pausing Frames (Please help!)

[TWGSB2014]

Hi there.

I'm currently doing the CIDA GCSE Game design course, and using this software.

The game I am currently creating is a fishing game.

So, whenever the user catches a fish, I would like the frame to switch to a frame with a maths question on it. I have this sorted out already.

The problem I have is that when the frame switches from the main fishing game to the maths question, the fishing game frame deletes all progress, and after answering the maths question, all the fish are still swimming. I need the fish to disappear after the maths question has been answered.

Sorry if this is confusing. It's quite hard to explain.

Thanks.

you will probably need to store the information in global values and strings so the data transfers between frames, the array object has the option for global data use and as long as the object is in both frames with the same name then the data will remain, there are global values/strings for the application so not needing an extra object but global values/strings i would use for more important data such as recording the current frame etc than data within that frame if that makes sense.

hope this helps

You can also fakely change frames just by having the math problems overlayed on top of the frames instead of actually changing frames. This would be comparable to having a menu overlaying when pausing a game for example.
