[SOLVED] How to pause game while showing a screen

[oatnoodles]

Hi all, I've been searching for how to do this but couldn't find anything on Google.
I'd like to have everything pause while the player is on a screen. For example, when looking at the overworld map, the game will pause. Currently, the game just continues as normal, and shows dialogue/the next scene over the screen. I would like only what's on the screen menu to be interactable. Is this possible?

You need to call screen.

Code: Select all

screen test:
    textbutton _("Return") action Return()

label start:
    call screen test
    "This line appears only after you click the Return textbutton"

Wow, I completely forgot about that function. Silly me. Thank you!
