Description

The ability to completely stop "time" but still traverse the level as a camera would be VERY useful (not to mention really cool).

I can imagine using this while designing particle generators for example.

I don't think this would be too difficult to implement. Basically just pause the game but allow cameras to move around.

If you completely stop "time" that would stop particle
generators as well, would'nt it? :B

You're probably better of just freezing the Monster AI and
halting the timer that stores the actual "play-
duration" (simply store that timer value to a variable and
write it back upon unfreezing the AI).

THAT'D BE REALLY COOL. :)

There could be factor similar to "settics" that controls how long game world ticks are. Pausing everything would be as easy as setting this factor to zero.
