Hi! Look at this: No game pausing: cpu usage ~97% Freezing funcs only: cpu usage ~60% Code:
var wndf=0;
starter pause_game_at_alt_tab() //pause game on loose focus
{
while (1)
{
if (window_focus == 0){
if (!wndf){
wndf=1;
// camera.visible=off;
// fps_max=4;
freeze_mode = 1;
}
}else{
if (wndf){
freeze_mode = 0;
// fps_max=40;
// camera.visible=on;
wndf=0;
}
}
wait(1);
}
}
restrict fps: cpu usage ~7% Code:
var wndf=0;
starter pause_game_at_alt_tab() //pause game on loose focus
{
while (1)
{
if (window_focus == 0){
if (!wndf){
wndf=1;
// camera.visible=off;
fps_max=4;
freeze_mode = 1;
}
}else{
if (wndf){
freeze_mode = 0;
fps_max=40;
// camera.visible=on;
wndf=0;
}
}
wait(1);
}
}
disable camera: cpu usage ~0% !Code:
var wndf=0;
starter pause_game_at_alt_tab() //pause game on loose focus
{
while (1)
{
if (window_focus == 0){
if (!wndf){
wndf=1;
camera.visible=off;
fps_max=4;
freeze_mode = 1;
}
}else{
if (wndf){
freeze_mode = 0;
fps_max=40;
camera.visible=on;
wndf=0;
}
}
wait(1);
}
}
Ok, if you read this, you understand now, for low cpu usage catch loose focus event and disable your camera.

Yep, I for one knew about that one, used it when I got so few frames in the menu, navigating with a mouse pointer was a pain in the ... . Disabling the camera, since the view was covered anyways was a lifesaver there.
