Using VR Fingers for Menus, but game Pauses Physics

Ezydenias

I have a big problem, when the AC pauses the game, it also pauses the physics, but since my VR Touch Input uses Physics I cannot use it while in pause. Is there a good way to restart the physics or have to prevent the Adventure Creatore from stoping the physics?

AC's pause mode is handled by zero-ing Unity's TimeScale, so physics will always stop during this time.

Know that pausing is optional - it's determined by a Menu's Pause game when enabled? property. It's not strictly necessary if you don't want it to be - and you can use the Engine: Manage systems Action to disable e.g. interaction and movement systems while they're enabled to prevent regular gameplay.

But to "restart" the physics, you could try attaching a script to your Rigidbodys to record their speed when the game pauses - and re-apply this speed when the game resumes.

Adapted from this post, and making use of AC's OnEnterGameState and OnExitGameState custom events:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class PhysicsResume : MonoBehaviour
{

    private Vector3 savedVelocity;
    private Vector3 savedAngularVelocity;
    private Rigidbody _rigidbody;

    private void OnEnable ()
    {
        _rigidbody = GetComponent <Rigidbody>();

        EventManager.OnEnterGameState += OnEnterGameState;
        EventManager.OnExitGameState += OnExitGameState;
    }

    private void OnDisable ()
    {
        EventManager.OnEnterGameState -= OnEnterGameState;
        EventManager.OnExitGameState -= OnExitGameState;
    }

    private void OnEnterGameState (GameState gameState)
    {
        if (gameState == GameState.Paused)
        {
            OnPauseGame ();
        }
    }

    private void OnExitGameState (GameState gameState)
    {
        if (gameState == GameState.Paused)
        {
            OnResumeGame ();
        }
    }

    private void OnPauseGame ()
    {
         savedVelocity = _rigidbody.velocity;
         savedAngularVelocity = _rigidbody.angularVelocity;
         _rigidbody.isKinematic = true;
    }

    private void OnResumeGame ()
    {
        _rigidbody.isKinematic = false;
        _rigidbody.AddForce (savedVelocity, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
        _rigidbody.AddTorque (savedAngularVelocity, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
    }

}
