SetScenePause

I've looked over at the reference doc and in the actual source and still aren't sure what this function does exactly. It does a few things I expected, and then didn't do others.

For example, it froze any sprites that were moving due to a MoveTo() or RotateTo() command, but camera shakes continued and any setTimer() timers I had set continued to tick and perform their operations.

SetScenePause works wonderfully for some things, but it's important to keep in mind that schedules in TorqueScript continue to do their thing; which can cause unexpected results.

If you're working on a pause game GUI, play around with setting the global variable $timescale to 0 to stop everything.
