How I do the animation of play and pause button?

Hi,

I have created the pause button in game and use the timescale event,

that work nicely, but i want to change the play and pause icon . can any one help me to resolve the issue?

Put both icons into a frame under the same sprite. Ie. double click your play icon and open editor then look for small long window beside editor (usually below) with small play icon and then right-click in that window and choose "add new frame", right click the empty frame and navigate to your pause icon and add it as frame 2.

Now you will just need to use the action "change frame" in your events whenever you want one or the other.

You could also have one "spawn" the other sprite at its location and use hide action on other.. or have them both always present and use hide/unhide as needed.

My point is there are several ways to do what I think you are asking. Personally, I like using frames for things like this.

Thanks for the help, I already use the above options, first time if we click on icon, it's change to "play" but after that it will not convert to "pause".

can you please tell me the event how to write?

radhaw use global variable if pause then Globalpause = 1

if not set to 0

Thanks! Sir

Most welcome

The pause button not work properly means after clicked pause button the background not stop animating and game objects also moved form the screen.. And then game stopped Please help.....

radhaw make family group and when paused set family animation to stop and when you unpause set it play or add one layout with message saying game paused goto that layout there are many other ways is well but this is simple easy

Thanks for the reply Sir, I will try this and let you know.

I have tried as you suggested but still players is moving.

I am using the action for player Every tick-"Self. x -10". so it should be stop when we click the pause button.

You could always put all the code in a while loop.

While(not paused)

Do game logic

Keep the pause button out of the while loop.

No it won't on pause animation should have IDLE animation where IDLE is just 1 frame. So when you pause you set animation to IDLE that should work. Check this tutorial for animation and how to implement animation in GAME
