Pausing Game

hi everyone

i'm trying to pause my game in unity, i managed to pause it but i can't get to restrat it even if my code seems

I see from your code that you're setting Time.timeScale to 0 (pausing) when the user runs out of time, which makes GameOver true, which in turn makes the Update function set Time.timeScale to 0... If the user presses the "Quitter" button, you attempt to set Time.timeScale to 1 (unpausing) and then load the Main Menu, but the GameOver variable is still set to true, so the next update function will likely just set Time.timeScale right back to 0, repausing the game. The only other place that I see you setting Time.timeScale to 1 is in the Start function... I'm not entirely sure it's what you're after, but try this altered version of your script and let me know if you have any better luck with it...

I can think of a couple of more elegant ways to approach it, but figured I'd leave most of what you had intact and just work around it. Let me know how it works for you as I haven't tested it.

 

well thanks for your reply, i have ttried your code but unfortunatly it still doesn't work and gives the same result as my code, i'm thinking that the problem is in the line

Code (CSharp):

1. Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);

as the player presses the "Rejouer" button which means restart, it should just re-load the same level as if it's the first time .

what do you think about that

 

Well, it should reload the current level (works for me, I use it in a few games). Are you having trouble with that command not restarting your level, or is your problem with the pause function this thread is about?

 

yes, the problem is restarting the level

 

Okay, does the button simply do nothing, or does the Debug line from your Start function fire after you hit the button? In other words, after you hit the Restart button, do you see the Debug.Log(Application.loadedLevelName); output in your console (it should show the name of the currently loaded level). I ask simply because I'm trying to discern if nothing is happening at all, or if your Start function is firing at all. If it's the former, we'll have to do some poking and prodding to figure out what the issue is. If it's the latter, then it's likely simply a matter of resetting all of your variable values in the Start function. Since they're not being reset, other than Time.timeScale, this may be causing problems.

 

indeed, pressing the Restart button fires the Start function and it shows the Debug output in the console

 

Okay, in that case, the issue is most likely with needing to reset variable values, positions, things like that. You can expand your Start function to include all of this and, if necessary, reset the position of the player, etc.

 

When gameover becomes true it will keep on setting timescale = 0 every frame.

 

Great catch. I feel silly having forgotten that OnGUI functions just like Update does. If the OP adds a

Code (CSharp):

1. GameOver = false;

line to his "Rejouer" segment, it should work out nicely. Thanks!
