timer won't start

[bobyBola]

hi, i tried to pause the game using timer like the code below

Code: Select all

driver->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(255,0,0,0));
		smgr->drawAll();
		if ( receiver.IsKeyDown(irr::KEY_KEY_U))
		{
			device->getTimer()->stop();
		}
		if ( receiver.IsKeyDown(irr::KEY_KEY_B))
		{
			device->getTimer()->start();
		}
		driver->endScene();

the game will stop but when i press key to start (key B).. it won't start again.

can anybody tell me how to start the timer or i shoud use another way to pause the game??

this is because you only check for the key is down, this will do the action(s) multiple times (undefined count) !!!
you need to check if the timer is already stopped...
do it this way:

Code: Select all

      if ( receiver.IsKeyDown(irr::KEY_KEY_U) && !device->getTimer()->isStopped())
      {
         device->getTimer()->stop();
      }else
      if ( receiver.IsKeyDown(irr::KEY_KEY_B) && device->getTimer()->isStopped())
      {
         device->getTimer()->start();
      }
