Title: Pause app in Background
Post by: Phuzz on November 05, 2014, 07:13:56 AM

Hello,

So I am still on my breakout style game (Android), when I get a phonecall or press the home button game pauses in background which is what I want, but as soon as I get back to the game the ball immediately starts moving which might cause the player to lose, how can I set timescale to zero upon returning to app? as if it was paused, so the player will touch the "return" button when ready.

Thank you,

Hi

you can use this technic:

then you know when you were paused and implement the UI logic to have the user press "Resume" at her/his convenience.

Bye,
