OperateWhilePaused

ArgumentsResultNotation
bool [ bool - ]

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 is useful to combine with this command.

Note: This command must be run before taking effect - place in :awake, :GameLoaded or just unpause until this command executes.

Note: It is recommended to disable this mode in :destroyed if used, to prevent the carryover issues that CRPL sometimes had with it. It may not be necessary.

Examples

once
    @awake #On recompile, do what would be done when the game is loaded.
    0 ->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.
<-CirclePoint 0.03 add ->CirclePoint
