Pause Button

[dev01]

How can I implement a game pause using an image button I have?
I cant seem to find a script in the examples that will let me pause and un-pause my game.

I am no scripter! thats why I use ngui
so an example script on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Set Time.timeScale to zero, on unpause just reset it to the value before you set it. (I got some problems with setting it to 1)

There are much better ways to do this, but if you're not a scripter then setting the timescale to 0 is probably your best bet.

C#

1. void OnClick()
2. {
3.      if(Time.timeScale == 1) Time.timeScale = 0;
4.      else Time.timeScale = 1;
5. }

If you make a C# script with that function and toss it on your button it should work. Like I said though, this could mess you up because Unity's Time is used for a lot of different things and stopping it's flow could stop your other scripts from functioning if they reference Time.time or anything similar.

I've used the below code inside JavaScript in unity.  Haven't attached it to an NGUI object yet.  Also, in addition to the below, I set my Start function to Time.timeScale=1;

1. if(Time.timeScale==0)
2. {
3. //I also changed my button to white for not paused
4.    Time.timeScale=1;
5. }
6. else
7. {
8. //I also changed the color of my Button to Red for paused
9.    Time.timeScale=0;
10. }
11.
