So I've been working on a game for quite a while. I never implemented a pause function because it always makes me uncomfortable, haha. I'm coming to regret it now as i grouped all my groups in a big group called ALL, thinking it would be easy to just toggle this group on/off to have my game pause. I have a few sub-groups in this ALL group that are deactivated or get deactivated.

The problem comes up when toggling the ALL group on/off since this seems to activate sub groups and starts unwanted events. Is there any way to NOT activate these deactivated groups when toggling the ALL group?

Thank you!

No, activating a parent group does not automatically activate deactivated subgroups. There must be some other event in your code that's doing this.

Yes, you're absolutely right! All the 'trigger once' events I had caused the issue. Thank you!
