Title: Pause Menu
Post by: Rabagast on July 01, 2015, 04:15:33 AM: Hi!

I need to pause my game. Time Scale suck, so how can I do this? I was looking in the asset store. I found one there with Playmaker support. "Time Control and Pause Kit"
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/9603 (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/9603)

But when I try to buy this, I get this msg: "Possible incompatibility with Unity 5"
So I'm not sure if it works with Unity 5.

Does somebody know some good Assets which Pause the game perfectly with Playmaker support and also works with Unity 5?

The Import Asset, just click "I made up, go ahead."
After this wait until compile.

I am curious, if all you want to do is pause your game what are the issues you have with Unity's timescale function? I've used it in 3 of my games with no issues at all.

Yes, scale time work fine now, but I mean that I had some problems with cell phone and touch. The button didn't work when I sat the Scale Time to 0, but it work fine if I just press a key to pause and unpause the game. :)

Does anyone have experiences with this, or other resources for the best pause menu solution for Playmaker?

Hi!

I got it also working to set timescale to 0, but I remember on a cell phone, the touch button didn't work, but it worked on my Mac, because I use "P" to pause and unpause the game
