Pause Gameplay issue

matrix211v1

Hello!

I have a hotspot that calls the Interaction script. At the top I have set Actions Source: In Scene and When running: Pause Gameplay.

I then have a action that calls a Object: Send Message to a function that I debug out the gameState. It comes back as "Cutscene".

The issue I am having is that I have two menus that are set for Appear Type: During Gameplay and they are on when I need them off.

So my question, is there a way to "force" a Pause Gameplay or am I doing something incorrect so I can get the two menu items off.

I even added two actions before the Object: Send message to Turn Off Menu but they come on anyways.

Thanks!

If you want to know the current gameState, you can just check Show active ActionLists in game window? at the bottom of the Settings Manager - it'll then be displayed in the top-left corner while running.  The gameState will always be Cutscene while a gameplay-pausing ActionList is running.

Are you saying that Menus set to appear During Gameplay are appearing during a Cutscene, or that you want to disable them temporarily during gameplay?  You can do that by using the Menu: Change state Action to lock them - when a Menu is locked, it'll always be off regardless of it's Appear type.

Chris:

The "Menu: Change state Action to lock them - when a Menu is locked, it'll always be off regardless of it's Appear type." is what I was looking for. 

Thanks!
