Pause with Fly in Menu

Hi Guys,

I want to be able to Pause the game and then have a fancy menu fly in. When i initiate the pause button it sets the time scale to 0, that is disabling me from having a fancy effect because nothing moves. Any ideas?

Do you need to pause all action or just keep the player and enemies from moving while the menu is displayed?

One option is to put all your moving parts into a pause master group that you set deactivated when paused.

Or, use events rather than behaviors to move your fly.

[quote:3pcds21a]Timescaling works by changing the value returned by dt. This means behaviors are affected, and any movement using dt. If you don't use dt in your movement calculations (like the first event above) the motion is not affected by the time scale!

You want a FLY in menu?

I made you a CAPX!!

just set time scale 1 for each menu object

Thanks for all the replies guys! I will give it a shot

Hey ChrisInFinger, what action would I call to Pause a Family? if you were referring to a Family that is. I want to pause several objects such as bullets and enemies

I guess i could just disable the bullet behavior and character from moving, similar to MPPlantOfficial's CAPX (Very Useful by the way, thank you).

Sorry, found my own answer in another forum for the previous question:

Add Action > System > Set Group Active

Thanks so much guys. I love the Scirra forum.
