After some testing, I see whats happening, but cant see an EASY way to fix it.
When you hit pause,
The pause function then freezes everything except itself, right.
Then the pause function calls camera-oneframe, cool.
Then the pause function calls wait(1), WHICH FREEZES ITSELF! ... BAD.

The only answer I can see is to use freeze_mode = 1.
That only freezes functions whose have a MY pointer that is not NULL.
So Im afraid delinkx, the big job youve got is this.
Any function you want to leave running, must have a MY=NULL; before its while loop.
Any function you want to pause, must have a MY=something; before its while loop.
note: a simple MY=1; is sufficient (tested).
Once thats done, you can ditch my split-camera-function system, just make sure
THE camera function starts with MY=NULL; just to be safe.

Need any help, let us know.
