Please let me know if you received it
I’ve received it and had a look. You are indeed sending a “set_time_step” message but not to the correct place. From main.gui_script you do:
msg.post("#main", "set_time_step", {factor = 0, mode = 0})
The use of “#main” as URL means that the “set_time_step” message will be sent to a component “main” on the same game object as “main.gui_script”. There is no component named main:
You need to send the “set_time_step” message to the collection proxy component that you want to pause. In your case it is “loader:/go#main”:
msg.post("loader:/go#main", "set_time_step", {factor = 0, mode = 0})

Oh, yeah, and your background animation is NOT using dt:
function update(self, dt)
local pos = go.get_position()
pos.x = pos.x - 0.1

Hi thanks for the help, I’ve implemented those things into my code and now its created a series of more issues. Now my player doesn’t move at all, and when I implement dt to my background animation it does not work.
Did you change from pos.x = pos.x - 0.1 to a larger value? Remember that dt is approx. 0.016 (1/60). You need to increase it. Try:
pos.x = pos.x - 6 * dt
What do you mean? After you paused and then resumed? Or does it not move even before pausing?
Yep it doesnt even move before pausing the game
ill give this a try
Do you still have my project downloaded? If so try add what you suggested, and you can see what i mean. Its hard to explain
I changed the background script to pos.x = pos.x - 6 * dt, and now it just moves even slower, and it still doesnt stop when i press pause
Is your background in the same proxy collection that you pause?
Does the player scipt acquires input? Like printing something when pressing a key.
Yes the background is in the same proxy collection, and the player ship is meant to move when i press W,A,S,D. I could perhaps send the zip file of my project to you on discord
Does your player scipt contains msg.post(".", “acquire_input_focus”) ?
yes
In the last image dosn’t seem that you adding amount to the movement, like in the one above “pos.x = pos.x + speed * dt”
are you talking about the background script?
Which image do you mean?
No, sry my bad. You are adding but are you chaning the self.direction in the input func?
