Which would require retooling the script thinkers so that they may or may not be paused depending on arbitrary factors. Too much hassle.

And again, your script would be paused along with the rest of the game. The user would have to manually hit the pause key, because your script would have no chance to unpause the game until after the user unpaused it, at which point being able to unpause it from a script is moot.

Still can't imagine a use for this that couldn't be solved by a more customizable PowerTimeFreeze though.

Timefreeze powerup doesn't work well cus the "unfreeze" isn't intant.

True for the PC version, but I believe in the Xbox version, it does pause the action.

My bad, i didn't expain well.
This ACS command Pause and UnPause the game.
If HudMesages could still runing its sound perfect to make PDA scripts as Doom 3 does. ^^

Considering that you would have no way to unpause the game after pausing it, what would be the point?

And you could do all that with Thing_Stop and a timefreeze powerup anyway.

You mean as an ACS command? What would it's purpose be?

Also, it doesn't sound very friendly... If all of a sudden my game froze, stopped playing music, and everything else that the Pause key does, but without any text or effects to explain what just happened, I would think something was wrong with my computer all of a sudden. :?

Its work like the normal Pause key but without the "PAUSE" gfx and the colormap effect.

Possible?
