i used escape to show my menu but when i again use escape to hide it, it doesnt work!
even after doing Engine.time_scale = 0. my character flashed first frame of animation when left clicked and it plays sound too!

you shouldn't use Engine.time_scale for pausing, there's get_tree().paused

#

compact merlin you shouldn't use `Engine.time_scale` for pausing, there's `get_tree().paused`

and everything will be paused by it?

compact merlin Jun 9, 2025, 2:04 PM

#

yea

#

for the things you don't want to be paused, you can change their process_mode property

wide oxide Jun 9, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

okay! so button i have to change?

compact merlin Jun 9, 2025, 2:05 PM

#

yea you can change them

#

first is main game's script

#

second is pause menu script

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:37 AM

#

is esc an action?

wide oxide Jun 10, 2025, 6:37 AM

#

yes

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:37 AM

#

it's case sensitive

#

try logging something to the console in the _on_resume_pressed() method

wide oxide Jun 10, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

#

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:40 AM

wide oxide Jun 10, 2025, 6:40 AM

#

#

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:41 AM

#

wide oxide Jun 10, 2025, 6:41 AM

#

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:41 AM

#

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:42 AM

#

wide oxide Jun 10, 2025, 6:42 AM

#

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:43 AM

#

wide oxide Jun 10, 2025, 6:43 AM

compact merlin Jun 10, 2025, 6:44 AM

#

if you change it to print_debug is it from that specific script?
