it's by far the biggest oversight in dreams is the lack of a pause gadget

currently you have to pause and resume all variables, scores and movement of all characters and enemy characters yourself which is a tremendous pain in the butt considering they've already programmed pausing into dreams -with options- they gotta stick that code it into a gadget and allow people to use it in their games.

I have to assume that there will be a pause gadget one day. I ran it by one of the developers and he was like oh crap yeah we really need to add that

It's possible for sure, but it depends on how you build it.

If everything's on a timeline you can do something like this: https://indreams.me/element/oSpttNvfBbU

Funny you ask because I only recently put together this example of pausing music or animations on a timeline!

You could use a keyframe and make them all unmovable

Damm, you mean double tap X to select everything in scene and record unmovable with keyframe?

That's what I was thinking yes. Does depend on what your doing in your scene of course

Seeing how magical keyframes are, it's so crazy it just might work.
