Pause singleplayer game on window loose focus and vice versa

#1 So how would this work, would i simple bind a key to this command, it will pause the game in a singleplayer enviroment?

#2 @Edward: It pauses the game when it loses focus and un-pauses when focus is regained. No key binding required.

#3 @Kevin: thx for the explanation :)

@Edward: u dont have u bind a key for this command. The function is automatically called when the game is not active for example when you uses ALT+TAB to other application window.

hope it helps clear things up :)

#4 Well in my game I have a clock counting up and wanted to bind it a key, and thanks to danni over at Mirc I got it working..

so for singleplayer with a keybind and also lose focus use this..
in client.cs

$gamePaused = 0;

function windowFocusChanged(%state)
{
   error("windowFocusChanged" SPC %state);
   if(%state == 0)
   {
      // other gui stuff goin on here.. like push-in pause gui message.
      echo ("PAUSE**");
      $timescale = 0;
      Clock.PauseTime(true);
   }
   else
   {
      // other gui stuff goin on here.. like pop-in pause gui message.
      echo ("PLAY**");
      $timescale = 1;
      Clock.PauseTime(false);
   }
}

function pauseGame(%state)
{
   error("windowFocusChanged" SPC %state);
   if(%state == 0)
   {
      if ($gamePaused)
      {
         // other gui stuff goin on here.. like push-in pause gui message.
         echo ("UNPAUSE**");
         $timescale = 1;
         Clock.PauseTime(false);
	     $gamePaused = 0;
      }
      else
      {
         echo ("PAUSE**");
         $timescale = 0;
         Clock.PauseTime(true);
       	 $gamePaused = 1;
      }
   }
}

and for the keybind
in config.cs

moveMap.bind(keyboard, "p", pauseGame);

and default.bind.cs

moveMap.bind(keyboard, p, pauseGame);

thats about it..

#5 Cool stuff... guys

#6 Note: For TGEA 1.8.1, the callbacks are now "GuiCanvas::onLoseFocus(%this)" and "GuiCanvas::onGainFocus(%this)" in canvas.cs.

#7 works great - thanks !!!
