Game pauses but doesn't unpause

I've been having issues with the pause menu I put in my game. It pauses fine, but doesn't unpause.

The events for it are like this:

Event: On escape pressed

Sub-Event: Timescale=0

Action: Menutext set invisible

Action: Set timescale to 1

Sub-Event: Timescale does not equal 0

Action: Menutext set visible

Action: Set timescale to 0

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey iScream,

If I understand the events correctly, I think that the first sub event is unpausing the game, and the second sub event is immediately pausing it again.

Consider the following walkthrough of the events:

Timescale = 0.

> User presses Escape.

Event: On Escape pressed >>> TRUE

__ Sub-Event: Timescale = 0 >>> TRUE - because Timescale = 0

____ Action: Menutext set invisible >>> Menutext is now invisible.

____ Action: Set timescale to 1 >>> Timescale is now 1.

__ Sub-Event: Timescale does not equal 0 >>> TRUE - because Timescale = 1

____ Action: Menutext set visible >>> Menutext is now visable.

____ Action: Set timescale to 0 >>> Timescale is now 0 again.

You'll need to make sure that only one OR the other sub event runs.

You can use an ELSE condition to achieve this. Manual page for the ELSE condition

Using the ELSE condition, would look like this:

Event: On Escape pressed

__ Sub-Event: Timescale = 0

____ Action: Menutext set invisible

____ Action: Set timescale to 1

__ Sub-Event: ELSE (This will only run if the prior event, at the same indentation level, was false.)

____ Action: Menutext set visible

____ Action: Set timescale to 0

Hope that helps out.

I tried this; it's working now.

thanks!

Awesome! Glad it worked out.
