| Summary | 0000438: the Squad menu doesn't pause the game | ||||
| Description | Unlike every other menu in dwarf fortress, squad menu does NOT cause the game to pause when chosen. This is especially annoying since if you're going to the squad menu odds are you need to kill something now, and watching it continue to rampage about while you try to click on it to issue a kill order is rather insane. Note, the easy workaround is to pause BEFORE going to the squad menu, but even so this should be fixed to be consistent with all other menus in the game. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. press (s) 2. look at everything moving around 3. scream | ||||
| Tags | pause, Squad menu | ||||

I thought this was done on purpose for...some reason. |
|
|
It's done so you dont have to leave the squad control menu to run the game. This gives you an easier time controlling your squads in a combat situation. Just takes some getting used to. |
|
|
Intended behavior. You can pause the game from the Squad menu by pressing Space as usual. This allows you to watch a squad's movements in realtime, and change their immediate orders with fewer keypresses. |
|
|
Yeah, this is completely intended behavior. |
