So for my game I'm making, which will not only have single player but multiplayer as well, I'm wondering about pausing it for single player, and so it brings me to the question, how can I pause things?

I'm thinking of doing so by looping through a list of objects in the world that have animations and such, and by freezing them. How do I do this? That is if this is the best way to go about it.

In GameUpdate()

if (MenuTab.window.hidden() || Sysinformation.window.hidden() || Options.window.hidden() || InformationPopup.window.hidden() )
{

//Everything u wanna update if menus are hidden
Clouds.layered.update();
Game::World.update(Cam.matrix.pos);
Water.update(Vec2(0.01));
UpdateCamera();
SUN_update();
}

Hello,
I know this is old..
I want to pause the game play, which the Yurci's post works fine for that.
But it also pauses the GUI.

Is there anyway of pausing the gameplay and not the GUI?

update, I'll add
Gui.draw();

I'm sure that'll work

Make sure you add the GUI.Update() outside of the if-structure.

Thanks Tottel, that worked
But it didn't stop my AI lol
So, it's just easier stopping the chr and AI

Ah game dev is fun
