Question by Johan 4 · Mar 02, 2011 at 09:08 PM · pausestop

How to make a pause function?

How can I make a pause function that when a pause button is pressed, the game stops.

Do I really need to disable everything from every game object or is there an easier way to just stop everything?

Seriously, use the search function. It would've been less trouble to look this up then to type your question..

var isPaused : boolean = false;

function Update() { if(Input.GetKeyDown("p")) { Pause(); } }

When the P key is pressed it will try to run the Pause function. So, make a pause function.

function Pause()
{
if (isPaused == true)
{
Time.timeScale = 1;
isPaused = false;
}
else
{
Time.timeScale = 0;
isPaused = true;
}

That, i think, should work. Not tested or anything but the worst that can happen is that someone else will correct me =)

Thanks poncho. I do want to point out that it'd be really easy to have "things happen" in the Pause function. and you can have other scripts check if the game is paused by checking isPaused (if you make the variable static). Pretty versatile, i think.

Fx:

function Update ()
{
if(Input.GetKeyDown("p"))
   {
   Time.timeScale = 0;
   }
}

When the "P" key is pressed the game pauses. When you want to "Unpause" it just use:

Time.timeScale = 1;

Hope this helped :)

Try using this.

 function Update () {
      if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.P)) {
           isPaused = !isPaused;
      }
      Time.timeScale = isPaused ? 0 : 1;
 }
