My pause game code works but I don't know why [pics]

I have to set my initial boolean value to true, and I tried it with a numerical global variable but it didn't work, Why does this work but the others didn't? I just want to better understand the process,

you should init your bool to FALSE (unchecked).

and add another condition to your Pause

(right-click and set bool cond to inverted)

> EVENT: On Press Enter AND (NOT) is paused
ACTION: set paused to true
ACTION: timescale 0

to unpause

> EVENT: On Press Enter AND is paused
ACTION: set paused to false
ACTION: timescale 1

don't use Toggle.. it's just confusing.

I got you, but why doesn't a number global variable work here? (0,1)

the problem is that both blocks of code will run.

in the first block you check if Enter has been pressed, then set paused to true.

the next block checks if Enter has been pressed AND if paused is true (which it will be because you just set it to true) and then it will un-pause your game.

You should use ELSE to make sure both blocks don't run.

> 	EVENT: On Press Enter
		> is paused - set paused false, set timescale 1
		> ELSE - set paused true, set timescale 0

then I would expect a global variable would work fine...

Yeah that worked like a charm! Thanks for your guys help!
