U not understanding wat am doing. Its not a game. Its a playback of simulation results from a file.

I read values from a file and make entities move around according to the values given in the file. Its like a playback.

So i would like a pause button in between to pause the playback, but i should still be able 2 move my camera around to visualize the scene.

hope u get wat i mean to say.

It wasn´t really clear before , now it is.

You should use freeze_mode=1 like i mentioned before .... freze_mode=1 freezes only entity and particle functions and you camrea function should still run.
Not tested your code but it should work.

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.

If you need help

ok.. kool. i will give a try on tat. thnx a lot.

let us know how it goes.

still not happening. i must have been missing something somewhere.. but not getting it.. EvilSOB.. i will PM u and send u the full code.

Sor anyone curious.... copied from PM


But anyway, to make functions pause when using FREEZE_MODE = 1,
put me = ent_create(NULL,NULL,NULL); as the FIRST line of the function
and ent_remove(me); as the LAST line of the function

Now freeze_mode = 1 will pause this function.

kool.. now it works ! thnx dude.. ! cheers !

Anytime buddy.
