Pause GameLoop with Pause Button
Hi there,
I have a central Manager class, that starts _GameLoop function within its Start() function via InvokeRepeating("_GameLoop", 0, 1);
Now I have another class handling some user input. I have a pause button there. When clicked, I want the gameLoop to pause until the button is being clicked again.
But I have no real clue how. Can you tell me how?
I used InvokeRepeating, so I could count the system time properly, which is needed for calculations later on. But I wonder whether I should have implemented it differently. Maybe with some CoRoutine?
i changed the time parameters of invokeRepeating to 0 and 1/30. just fyi
A popular option otherwise seems to use timescale to pause things. If you still need access to time elapsed etc, you could use Time.realtimesincestartup for that.
You can use CancelInvoke to stop it and you might control it with a bool inside a coroutine
For example
IEnumerator Routine()
{
if(Paused == false)
{
CancelInvoke(Method);
}
Else
InvokeRepeating(Method);
}
CancelInvoke won't work. Already tried it. The problem is that I have a Button in another class. When clicked CancelInvoke() shall be called. InvokeRepeating is located in the $$anonymous$$anager Class.
