I very much wish this worked with Victor Engine scripts (I'm using a whole bunch of them and cannot pause in battle. No errors or anything, just doesn't work inside of a battle). Not sure which script is specifically causing it not to work... unless of course, it's not meant to work in battle. I didn't see any changes to Scene_Battle in the code.

In any event, nicely done!
I created the script because I saw a few requests for it relating to "Horror Games" where people did not use the game menu anymore.

It did not occur to me that people would like to pause their games anywhere, so I just put it in the map scene.

I will update the script soon to give people the ability to pause their game anywhere.

Just one question though, which would be more useful. To exclude scenes in a list so that pause cannot be used in them or to have a list of scenes where pause can be used.

For example a list that says you cannot pause in "Scene_Title, Scene_Shop, Scene_Menu" or a list that says where you can pause like "Scene_Map, Scene_Battle"

I think the latter would be better, but I'm not sure which would be more helpful for people.
Menu for menus unable to utilize pause functions, if you ask me.
Updated the script with the ability to pause anywhere and exclude scenes from being able to pause.

Just find this part in the settings:

Pause_Scene_Disabled = [Scene_Title]


And add scenes into the array to disable pause in them.

Test it out and let me know if you find any problems with it.

Works perfectly! tanks very much! ;)


Well, thank you FieryGameMaster. It's a great boost in morale whenever I see a post like yours with a "thanks". Also I am glad you enjoyed the script as well.
Just tried this script myself and had absolutely no problems using it. A pause battle function using ATB is amazing, especially how its designed to not break anything whatsoever. Thanks again for this.
