For Godot 4, they changed the way Set and Gets are done.

This is what I used instead of line 3 and the function on line 10 (set_is_paused):

var is_paused = false :
set(value):
is_paused = value
get_tree().paused = is_paused
visible = is_paused

for anyone wondering, the code for the GUI canvas layer can be

extends CanvasLayer

pass

I was troubled by the problem of not clicking the button when the game is paused. Your video saved me. 👍

I learned more than I came here for, tyvm !

I think you want to add visible = is paused to line 8. Or, if the intention was that whenever the toggle occurs, the visibility alternates, then that wasnt working as-is on key press.

It was bc I'm But finally I was able to put a pause menu in my game

I wrote a comment explaining a problem and the problem got fixed by me watching the whole video... for my mistake I will sub only issues im having is probably because I have somewhat custom made buttons (was a pretty easy fix after a few minutes of thinking)

If you would like to use the controller/buttons you can also do this command for example

func _unhandled_input(event):
if
self.is_paused = !is_paused

I have a level timer that displays your current time, how do I pause that when I pause the game

[kaduyeah]

Thanks, the pause is really working! but for some reason the colour rect doesn't appear outside of the pause scene

how do i pause using button instead of keyboard?

[stuartpowell]

So this is great thank you, having one issue though. On initial level load the paused menu shows straight away. if i resume and then pause it works as normal, is there a way to stop this happening. Im betting its easy but cant see it atm. Also cannot get the controller to work with the buttons at all. They Work for the main menu but not the paused one

Im having the issue where the pause menu is the first thing that comes up when i enter my world scene.

[DeltaruneSusieStory]

Hello rayuse, thanks for make this tutorial! i used your tutorial to make a pause menu screen, but something is wrong with the script or the buttons, my probem is when i paused in my game the the buttons don't works.

[StanGames]

I added this into a first person 3d game, and there is no cursor whenever I pause. Any idea how to resolve this?

[emmanouelvasiliou]
