SetEntitiesPaused

This function stops entity movement codes from being processed until they are unpaused.

pausestate is either 1 (on) or 0 (off).

You would use this in situations where the screen stops updating. For instance, a textbox that halts the game until the player closes.

Not using this function would result in the entities moving around while the screen isn't being updated. Once the textbox closes the things are being drawn again, the enties will all appear to warp to their new locations.

SetEntitiesPaused(1);
TextBox("Nobody's moving behind ME, that's for sure");
SetEntitiesPaused(0);
