Pause screen

[isobellesophia]

Hello again

I would like to add a pause screen in quick menu's, preference menu is different than pause one so that the player only need to click the screen once they were done pausing.

Anyone can help me gives a thanks.

Typically, visual novel games don't really require a pause button because the game only continues when the player clicks. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you need

Though it isn't necessary, it is, however, simple to do.

Code: Select all

init python:
    _game_menu_screen = "game_paused" # This will set the default menu screen to 'game_paused'

screen game_paused():
    tag menu
    use game_menu(_("GAME PAUSED")):
        # stuff here.

Do note that this isn't actually 'pausing' the game. Just consider it as a holding screen.

You may also want to change the quick menu item 'Pref' or what have you to have the action 'action ShowMenu('game_paused')'

Hope this helps.

Code: Select all

screen paused():
    modal True
    tag menu
    add Solid((0,0,0,125))
    button: 
        xfill True
        yfill True
        background None
        action Return()

Then add the button to ShowMenu("paused") in the quick menu.
