How to forbid map to "play"

[speeder]

I have a object pallete map...

But all the time that I go there, my paddle move around, balls shoot, stuff die...

How I stop that behavior?

Hmm, nothing should be moving if the game is paused when the editor opens which is the default I think.

But this should work:

In your initialization of your paddle you can check to see if the editor is up before having it do anything.

For instance:

function OnInit()

if (g_editorActive) then
LogMsg("Oh sh*t! Don't turn this on now.");
return;
end

Or: You can also use GameIsActive(), but that just detects if a 'profile' is loaded, not applicable if you don't use them.

Or: You could also check the current map by name, and if it's Game Palette or whatever exit.
