What do you mean by “pause” the game?

3

There is a game paused setting in player. You can’t trigger it via code.

4

I mean when you press esc to pause it.

5

I don’t know, I’ve seen a kind of thing in a game.

6

Yeah it is only triggered by Streaming Enabled

I don’t think theres a method that triggers when someone pauses it, but you can make your own sort of pause system I guess. Another gui to pause the game locally depending on what type of game you’re doing.

I don’t know what streaming enabled is, Im kinda new to scripting.

Ok so Streaming Enabled is what limits the parts your client can see.

10

I know that it is possible because I’ve seen a game doing that. Maybe that thing is triggered when you press esc only.

11

Oh, ok. (charactelimitblablabla)

Can you show me the game please?

13

Sure, its called Troll Obby, it adds a blurry thing and slow motion music when you pause the game.

Are you not able to provide a link, searching that will show a lot of games…

Okay I see now, try this which whould detect when a user opens the gui, there’s also MenuClosed to detect when they close it. GuiService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
