Re: Pause();
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.

Re: Pause();
I'd imagine it'd stop everything except the script that called it.
I can't imagine any uses for a regular mod. Maybe a joke mod where the game stops in the middle of a dramatic jump, only to resume with the player's velocity cut to 0, but that's about it.

And you could do all that with Thing_Stop and a timefreeze powerup anyway.XutaWoo wrote:I can't imagine any uses for a regular mod. Maybe a joke mod where the game stops in the middle of a dramatic jump, only to resume with the player's velocity cut to 0, but that's about it.

Re: Pause();
Considering that you would have no way to unpause the game after pausing it, what would be the point?

Re: Pause();
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. ^^

Re: Pause();
Yeah, uh, did you know the game doesn't wait for you if you're using your PDA in Doom3? You can be easily attacked if you're unaware of that imp behind you.

True for the PC version, but I believe in the Xbox version, it does pause the action.Project Dark Fox wrote:Yeah, uh, did you know the game doesn't wait for you if you're using your PDA in Doom3? You can be easily attacked if you're unaware of that imp behind you.

Re: Pause();
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.Logan MTM wrote:This ACS command Pause and UnPause the game.

Still can't imagine a use for this that couldn't be solved by a more customizable PowerTimeFreeze though.XutaWoo wrote:I'd imagine it'd stop everything except the script that called it.

Re: Pause();
Which would require retooling the script thinkers so that they may or may not be paused depending on arbitrary factors. Too much hassle.XutaWoo wrote:XutaWoo wrote:I'd imagine it'd stop everything except the script that called it.
