The pause command pauses the game until the player presses ENTER or ESC key.
Syntax
pause();
Remarks
A message box is displayed that says "Game paused. Press Enter to continue." Pressing ENTER or ESC will dismiss the window and the game will continue. Reserved flag f15 (no pause windows) and reserved variable v21 (window close time) affect the pause window the same as any other message box. This means if you set f15 and then use pause, the message box will be displayed, but the game won't actually pause.
Possible Errors
None.
Example
Code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="agi"> pause(); [ equivalent print command: print(" Game paused.\n"
"Press Enter to continue.");
</syntaxhighlight>
