Why don't you look in one of the MENU examples from AUM? It was some were in 68-69 I guess.

uhm..i found some and i tried it.. but when i run the script, it exits..

is there something wrong with this?

Code:

function pause_escape()
{
   freeze_mode = 1;
   pause_panel.flags = SHOW | OVERLAY;
}

function main()
{
   on_esc = pause_escape;
   screen_size.x = 800;
   screen_size.y = 600;
   sun_light=100;	
}

what do you think?

carla_mariz did you finish Workshops? Script is so simple and you can't see what is wrong here?

ok so just make a copy of the default.c file and then delete the line::
if (!on_esc) on_esc = def_exit;
so that the engine never exits upon pressing escape ....
I am not sure whether there's a better way or not but this does work...

In addition u need to make some corrections to ur code...

Carla listen to me, it'll be very hard for you to go on, if you not gonna learn basics from Workshops.
You'll spend a lot of time just for nothing without basic knowledge, I know that by myself.
Start learning Workshops today, they are very easy and you'll need just few days to finish them.
Your project can wait, other ways it'll stuck for a very long time.

in your function main() just add:

on_esc = NULL;
