Pause physics timer

Hello,

If you use MoveEntity with enabled physics it will calculate the movement through currentMovingTime - lastTimeMoved. It would be nice if we could pause this somehow, e.g. for making a pause function in the game without loosing speed or making big jumps after returning to the game.

This functions can be implemented like this:

Code: Select all

Global timer3Dphysics

Procedure Pause3DPhysicsTimer()
  Shared pauseTime
  pauseTime = ElapsedMilliseconds()
EndProcedure

Procedure Resume3DPhysicsTimer()
  Shared pauseTime
  timer3Dphysics + (ElapsedMilliseconds() - pauseTime)
EndProcedure

sounds perfectly reasonable!
