pauseUpdate: explanation? Can't get it to work

[casey]

I have a popup on pause that contains some functions that require an update, so I'm pausing the game and trying to use pauseUpdate but it's not running (no error thrown, just not updating).

Can someone explain pauseUpdate  and how to use it?

Make sure it's definitely in the state object.

console.assert( 'pauseUpdate' in game.state.getCurrentState() );

There shouldn't be much else to do.

Thanks. 

I'm trying to read pointer data in the pause state, but the pointer data isn't being logged or is freezing (constantly reading as "down is true" according to debug).

In mine the pointer continues getting updates while paused (see pen, updated).

Thanks, but can you explain to me why my pointerinfo on render is not updating when this testscreen is paused?

 

var testpause = {
	
  preload: function(){
    this.game.stage.backgroundColor = '#FFF';
	this.game.load.image('pause', 'pause.png');
	  
  },
	
  create: function(){	   
	this.pause = this.game.add.button(100, 100, 'pause', this.managePause, this);  
  },
	
	managePause: function() {
		
		
		if(!this.game.paused){
		this.game.paused = true;
			console.log("game paused");
	  
		}
		else(this.game.paused = false);
		console.log("game not paused");
		
	}, 


	
	render: function(){
		 game.debug.pointer( game.input.activePointer );
	}

}

Nobody?

I don't see anything wrong with it.

Thanks--the code looks fine to me, too, but when I run it, the pointer data doesn't update on pause.

Does the book Interphase1 explains how to manage pause in an #PhaserJS manner or it's from scratch, because the example of @samme answers the question of how to pause in an easy manner

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying. I'm trying to find out why my code doesn't work.
