 === Description ===
+Set whether the Core will operate while the game is paused. Good for animations or buttons.
+This may need to be called in :awake to guard against save/load. (Untested, may work without)
+This command is per script, not per Core. So, should a Core carry multiple copies of a script, or muliple different scripts, some may OperateWhilePaused while others do not.
+[[.:ispaused|IsPaused]] is useful to combine with this command.
+Note: This command must be run before taking effect - place in [[,:awake|:awake]], [[.:gameloaded|:GameLoaded]] or just unpause until this command executes.
+Note: It is recommended to disable this mode in [[,;destroyed|:destroyed]] if used, to prevent the carryover issues that CRPL sometimes had with it. It may not be necessary.
 === Examples ===
-<code>	operateWhilePaused = GetIntFromStack() == 1;
+<code prpl>
+once
-</code>
+    @awake #On recompile, do what would be done when the game is loaded.
+->CirclePoint
+endonce
+GetMousePosition CurrentPixelCoords Distance 6 lt if #Mouseover
+    "Hello" SetText
+endif
+IsPaused if
+    return #Only go on if the game is running
+endif
+#We shall move in a circle around the lower-left corner of the map. But not if the game is paused.
