How to Code a Pause in Godot (tutorial) 

Fun fact - that device is genuinely called a "dead cat"....

Hey, I am having the same problem could you go into more details on how you fixed it

@@link_nukem LOL I actually forgot how I did it. It was a long time ago and I am quite busy now, but, I can give you my github repo if that helps. Good Luck! github.com/souvikban16/firstgame. Its under /UI/pausemenu.gd

@@souv1k985 Thanks a lot

It really is. The node processing feature makes it nice and (relatively) straightforward to code a "pause game" UI as well.

that would be easier with a boolean variable, so you can turn it on and off

to hide the mouse: Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED) to show the mouse: Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_VISIBLE) hope it helps! (sorry if i have bad english)

I use Engine.time_scale = 0 and Engine.time_scale = 1 (or a greater number) for pausing my game, I believe this also stops timers. Not sure if this is a good way to pause the game..

That's probably because the timer you create doesn't inherit the pause state from the tree. Just use another timer object that does or redesign your coroutine.

Jumping in here a year later with the solution I just found because I read this while trying to solve the same problem... Timers have a second parameter "pause_mode_process", which defaults to true. To make them stop during pause, you need to add false after the time, like this: yield(get_tree().create_timer(1, false), "timeout") I hope this helps someone!

@@Gdquest hi i followed your tutorial exactly but visible is not being recongnised

if your get_tree().paused is not paused then it means false, if it is paused it means true. By setting it as a variable first he sets up a false or true based on the opposite of the paused state. So if you click pause it goes to the code, sees that it is not paused (i.e. false) and sets the state of the variable to True, it then changes the paused state to true and the visibility of the pause screen to true. The opposite happens if you select the pause button when it is paused.

godot docs says when get_tree().paused = true then _input and _input_event wont be called anymore. anyway, for me it worked changing the pause mode from inherit to process

you need to create a scene for the control node only then import it into other scenes using the "instance a scene file as a node" button next to the add node button hope this helps! (sorry if i have bad english)

All nodes in your tree will be paused unless you mark them as such via Process in the menu. He essentially makes it where your code will grab all of your nodes in your tree.

Just make it small like mine and make it a child of the Control node (PauseNode)

You still do it the exact same way, I tried it and still worked. You can save it as a separate scene if you have multiple levels

@@PleepusPlopus I've been able to make the colorrect follow the player since posting that comment.

@@DarkStarRules Ah okay

i tried with pause first

@@ladyvampire4979 The error is telling you that the input action you're requesting, here "ui.pause", doesn't exist, and that's most likely because it's still undefined in your project. To add it, go to Project -> Project Settings -> Input Map tab, and enter "pause" in the Action bar. Press enter, navigate down the window to the action, and assign it some keys by clicking the "+" button next to it.

@@Gdquest huge thanks, it worked :)

Yes, otherwise there might be things on top of your pause screen, which you obviously want to avoid. Unless it's an intentional game feature.

Deve ser por cause do Open GL 3, espera a versão 3.1 sair e recompila, tenho quase certeza que vai funcionar, a não ser que você tenha usado shaders, aí eu não sei, mas é provável que sim.

vlw brother, vou ficar ligado nisso

se você quer rodar seu jogo em qualquer celular, use o opengl 2.0, o 3 é pra sistemas mais modernos que isso.

Ive got similar, hitting Full Rect, and it vanishes off the screen, then the same with color Rect.. Godot V3.4.2

Really

it worked for me

It does! In Godot 3.0 probably, or whichever version this tutorial covered. The code may not work 1:1 in Godot 3.2, it's up to the viewer to find the functions that may have been renamed in this case.

@@Gdquest oh, well i was using 3.1

you probably watched not too many of them...
