(solved) How do I get all actions to pause.

So I have this really great pause system in my game and all works just fine except. I have these objects that get created and move towards the main player and even when I click the pause button they still created and have a collision with the player object (mind you when I click pause they do stop the rotate behavior). They move toward the player as I use a move at angle x.player, y.player move 1 pixel kind of thing I know I should be using "dt" and my pause would work but where do I put my "dt" stuff.....

Is this posted sounding discombobulated?

I assume you are using the timescale to pause?, all built in C2 behaviors use Dt so using bullet for these objects would probably be better...

Edit,objects can still be spawned even if time scale is zero...

eg on key pressed player shoot> create bullet,

So adding another condition based on your pause variable should stop the spawning...

I'm using a time function to spawn the objects say "every 2 seconds create object" - "move object towards player object". Both the spawning of the object and the movement do not pause. If you say do it as a bullet great, can I create a bullet to just spawn using my timing feature?

Yes and adding a condition timescale is >0 to the spawning should sort that out too...

You sir are my Hero

I spoke to soon, I just can't get this simple thing to work.

So what's happening?...

Here is my section that sets the mines in motion:

But when I do this:

Everything pauses but the mine object continues till it hots the player object, the good news is another one does not spawn until the un-pause happens.

ok i can help...BRB

OK take a look at this...press p to toggle pause...

looking at your events you will need to rework them a little to adopt this method, but it will be a lot clearer for you to debug when you do...

I can only think I have to change my idea even with your example I can not get it to work. I guess Bullet angle of motion does not like angle(mine.X,mine.Y,player.X,player.Y)

You can adapt your existing code by adding a condition to the every 5 second spawn mine, such as global pause =0

and if you want to move without bullet add x*dt rather than per pixel

I have done another version not using bullet, if you still need help give me a shout...

You rule Pixel, I'm good to go and I go tit working thanks to you. It was giving me fits, funny how you get stuck on something and things you think will be hard turn out to be easy and stuff you think will be easy turns out hard.
