Pause

Description

'pause <type> [media_id]'

The pause action allows you to pause currently playing media. This is useful for temporarily stopping music, sounds, or voices that you want to resume later.

Action ID: Pause

Reversible: Yes (resumes the paused media on revert)

Requires User Interaction: No

Parameters

Parameter Description
type The type of media to pause: music, sound, or voice.
media_id (Optional) The specific asset name to pause. If omitted, all media of the specified type will be paused.

Examples

Pause All Music

'pause music'

Pause a Specific Music Track

'pause music mainTheme'

Pause All Sounds

'pause sound'

Pause a Specific Sound

'pause sound explosion'

Pause All Voices

'pause voice'

Pause a Specific Voice

'pause voice dialog_001'

Resuming Paused Media

To resume paused media, use the corresponding play action without specifying a new asset:

'pause music',           // Pause all music
'Some dialogue here...',
'play music',            // Resume all paused music

'pause sound fireCracks',  // Pause specific sound
'Something happens...',
'play sound',              // Resume all paused sounds (including fireCracks)

Note: When resuming with play <type>, ALL paused media of that type will resume. The play action with a media ID will start new playback, not resume the paused instance.

Pause vs Stop

Action Effect Reversible Can Resume
Pause Temporarily stops playback, preserving position Yes (resumes) Yes, with play <type>
Stop Completely stops and removes the player Yes (restarts from history) No, must replay from start

Use pause when you want to temporarily stop media and resume from where it left off. Use stop when you're done with the media entirely.

        'Suddenly, a loud crash!',
        'play sound crash',
