Hi!

Are you considering to add a Pause button? I am not sure how difficult it would be as it would be necessary to somehow save the variables related to the physics of all the balls in the screen.

Thank you!

Hello! Apologies for the delay in replying.

The early version of this actually did have a pause function that worked in the way you described, but it was really buggy if it was paused when the ball was in contact with anything. So unfortunately I had to remove it so I could finish the template. However I do think it would be possible to pause like that, perhaps I was missing something when I made it! I may come back to it in the future but unfortunately my time is being spent on other projects right now.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hey!

Thank you for your reply!

First, I want to say that the Pinball Template is totally awesome. I am now playing around with it and all the code is totally clear and the mechanics are working great. So thank you!

I finally solved the Pause feature by just putting Delta time to 0! It was finally quite easy! To sum up the code: Syste: On clicking Pase Button --> System: set time scale to 0. Then, for returning to Pause we set the time scale again to 1.

It's working fine, no bugs so far

Thanks for finding the solution! I didn't even think to try that! I guess when you get hung up on trying to find a complex solution there's always a simple one that works!

Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you found it useful!

The demo link is broken, can we get an updated link so we can check it out.
