button click during me.state.pause still active even though updateWhenPaused = false;

[ayakashi.a...@gmail.com]

Hello, i have problem GUI_Object during pause state.

i have a dialog box that pop out another dialog box for confirmation.

i set when this second dialog box appears, the game is paused.  the pause works fine, and also the resume.

However, i found out that any button is not paused when it is paused. so if i click any other button in the viewport, (even if it was overlayed by the 2nd dialogbox button), it still receive input and do their stuff (ie. if i set one to change state, then if i click it, the game will change state).

how could i make this 'background' buttons to not active when state is paused? setting this updateWhenPaused to false doesn't seem to do the trick....

Yeah. :(

This is actually a pretty big problem. melonJS handles all events outside of the main thread. There's a ticket that I filed for this exact issue: https://github.com/melonjs/melonJS/issues/396

For now, you will have to explicitly check the result of me.state.isPaused() in your click handlers.

i see, thanks for the info and the link to the ticket! i was afraid it was caused by my codes *again*.... hahaha.

currently, checking me.state.isPaused() is also what I do to solve the problem...

Glad the workaround is ok for you! The event system needs a pretty big overhaul that will fix little issues like this. :)
