Is there a way to pause the whole system so that scheduled events and everything are also paused?

In summary, for posterity...
If you want to affect only a scenegraph:
If you want to pause everything in the game, set the "magic" global variable $timescale to 0, with the caveat that $timescale doesn't work nicely with network games.

Thanks, Philip. Why didn't I think of that? :PIn summary, for posterity...
If you want to affect only a scenegraph:
Quote:You can use "fxSceneGraph2D::setScenePause()" which will pause the updating of the scene you select (see ref doco). If you're using T2D scenes for GUIs (probably best to use GUI system though), then you should use separate scenes so that you can independently control them.

I tried setting $timescale as a slow motion feature, but it has no affect.
