I was having issues with my camera continuing to tween when the game was paused, here's a quick fix for this.

With a bit of help from Edmundo, Crimson Wizard and Haloa, I've made this little modification to the Tween module's repeatedly_execute_always function:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always() {
  // Steps through every active tween
  _i = 0;
  _longestTweenDuration = 0.0;

  for (; _i < Tween_MAX_INSTANCES; _i++) {
    if (!(IsGamePaused() && (_tweens[_i].RefType == _eTweenReferenceCamera 
                           ||_tweens[_i].RefType == _eTweenReferenceObject)))
    {
      if (_tweens[_i].Update()) {
        if(_tweens[_i].IsPlaying()) {
          _CheckIfIsLongestTween(_i);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This will pause all camera tweens and object tweens while the game is paused, and resume when the game is unpaused. Works great for me because I have all sorts of GUI tweens going on in my pause menu.

Hope this is helpful to others on here!

Good question!

someone else could correct me here, but I believe the answer is: you can't, at least not without meddling with the module script.

Here's what I'd do:
1 - If you want to automate the cursor in just one room, create an object using the cursor sprite, if you want this in several rooms, make it a character.

2 - Hide the cursor at the same time make the object / character visible at the same screen position as the cursor.

3 - Tween that fake cursor!

Hope this helps.
