Note: Make sure to place the pause image in the folder.

         To turn off the music set the names of them like this ->    Pause_SE =  ""

This is an awesome script!

I was wondering, is there a way to make it so that I can show a choice menu when the game is paused? I am making a side scrolling game and want it to be when people pause the game, that is also the place where they choose to either exit the level, restart the level, or resume.

So not sure if there would need to be major script changes for such a thing, or if maybe you could tell me which lines I'd need to include in a script call to pause the game and have a working menu.

Thanks in advance!

I found a slight bug with this, in battle after you pause then unpause, it causes the enemies to be killed, any way around this?

Also having battle pause issues how do I change the key from F8 if I change it to F2 it errors.


Here is the screen I made for the script.

how about pausing the SE and play the SE to the point where it stops? how to do that?

Do you use the Yanfly battle engine? If so, that's what caused it. In test mode, the Yanfly battle engine has debug keys. F8 automatically kills all the enemies.

Is there any way to change the z value for the image? The pause image gets covered by message text and a few other items on the screen when used.

This is great put i run into a problem when using parallax images. My pause image seems to appear below the parallax image and thus I get my parallaxing picture all over it.

How do I make it so that this pause picture is the one that is on top?

Try adding


@pause_pic.z = 10000


after each


@pause_pic = Sprite.new


command.

 

[DavidFoxfire]

What the dimension requirement for the Pause Picture.  Is it automatically centered on the screen?

 

[Nanaki_Fan]

Try adding

@pause_pic.z = 10000

after each

@pause_pic = Sprite.new

command.

this worked.

many thanks

I can't get it to work. Can you put a proper formatted script up so I don't have to try and guess where the line breaks are suppose to be. Cause it gives me errors until I add in three more end statements.
