I remember reading something on the wiki about ways Zscript can interact with the game being paused but I'm having a hard time finding it. Can you have decorations that animate while the game is paused? Can you have enemies do special actions when the game is paused?

You can read information about the level and enemies in UI scope. See void UiTick, PostUiTick, RenderOverlay, RenderUnderlay in https://zdoom.org/w/index.php?title=Events_and_handlers

Thank you. This is very difficult to understand but I'm reading up on it and hopefully I'll figure it out :)
