Hey guys, I have a pause scene in my game and I was wondering if the pause scene could darken the background. I tried changing the background color of the scene but it doesn't work.

    Hi scribblstudios; try putting an imageless actor over your screen. This actor's color set to black, alpha set to 0. In your Rules, just before your Pause Behavior, put Change Attribute DarkenActor to something like .5.

    Put an blank actor on the pause screen that covers the whole background, make it the bottom of the layer order, make it black and adjust the opacity.

    Quick on the draw, me!

    PS SingleSparq, I know you meant to put "make it the top of the layer order" :-)

    Hmm I was thinking bottom in Regards to the way i do it with the pause feature. A separate scene with a pause word graphic on top layer and screen on bottom. this would overlay the Main scene when you hit pause darkening all below.

    You can either do a transparent black image above the scene before you pause, or like I do and put the transparent black image below the rest of my pause scene.

    I usually go with an alpha of .6-.8, with .8 being with more controls being on the pause screen.
