[Solved]Problem with Time Scale

Hey!

I am trying to make a pause menu and, well, take a look at my code.

<img src="http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3158/hx68.png" border="0" />

I can press the menu button and it pauses the game and displays the pause menu. But when I press the menu button again, the pause menu will not disappear and the time scale will not set it self back to 1.0.

Before the action "Set time scale to 1.0", put a "Wait 0" action. :)

Easiest way to fix this is to replace the is not visible by system else.

This is actually the best example for a place to use the system else event.

Another way, of which I'm fond myself to make the toggle is:

on button touched : system set timescale : 1-timescale

this way

when timescale = 1, 1-1 returns 0

when timescale = 0, 1-0 returns 1

Jase00 that just broke the button. Now it does nothing.

LittleStain I am not how that would work exactly.

Right click on the is not visible event, choose replace condition, make it system else.

or do you mean the second one?

just add the set timescale : 1-timescale

to the on left button clicked event as the action and remove the subevents.

I suggest you to try the system condition 'Else' instead of (or with) the 'Is not visible'

Your problem occurs because first:

-Your sprite is visible, so the game unpause and make the sprite invisible

-Then in the same tick, since it just became invisible, the game pauses and makes the sprite visible

The Else condition will correct that

So the Else statement didn't work either. I'm sure I just messed it up.

I went with 1-timescale bit. Very simple and gets the job done. Thanks all.
