Overview

• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/environment/pauseGame.lua
• Name: Pause Game
• Category: once_p_duration
• Icon: pause
• Author: BeamNG
• Description: Pauses or unpauses the game simulation.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Output Pins

None.

Behavior

• _executionStarted(): Initializes internal _pauseGame flag to false.
• workOnce(): Sets _pauseGame flag to true, indicating pause should be applied.
• _afterTrigger(): If _pauseGame is set and the current pause state differs, calls simTimeAuthority.pause() to toggle. Then resets the flag.

Notes

• Uses deferred execution via _afterTrigger() to avoid pausing mid-frame.
• This pauses the game simulation (physics, time), not the flowgraph project.
• The once_p_duration category means it triggers once and has persistent duration behavior.
