Hi all,

The level i am making have limited time to kill enemies.

So, i am using several huds to display a timer and using an global timer in trigger zone to count to 5 minutes and if it reaches 5 minutes kill the player.

But when player pause the game using ESC key, the timer hud stops but the internal (global timer) timer is still going on, and then when the player resumes the game it instantly shows Game Over screen.
This means that the timer is still counts while in pause game (ESC).

Is it possible to fix it?

Please help me.

That is a problem.... and I'm sorry to say that I can't think of a proper workaround to it for any version of FPSC (vanilla or modded)

The best fix for this would be a source change, having it "offset" the timers when the game is paused. Since the script timers are based upon the DBP language "timer()", it is not possible to pause it. A "pause" for the script timers would simply change their values the same amount the actual timer changed within the last loop, so that they stay the same distance from the internal timer.

There... that's the way to do it, so if a modder is reading this they can go do it themselves.


The one and only,
