Currently I'm creating the pause screen for my game and I'm trying to set the room_speed to 0 for it,
but when I try it out, I get the error....

Trying to set the room speed to a value <= 0.

Can anyone help please?

Don't. If you could do that, your game would freeze.

A better way would be to deactivate all instances except for a control instance.

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks.

I have similar problems. I'm trying to make that the player at the start of the game get a message where he / she may write the "room_speed" for the game.

room_speed = get_string('How fast roomspeed do you want to use?','room speed');

My problem is that I get this error message: Error Message - Trying to set the room speed to a value <= 0.

I find a good rule is that you should never change the room speed, since the drawing events are tied to it.

Try using

room_speed = real(get_string('How fast roomspeed do you want to use?','room speed'));

because what you have there is a string, not a value.

Edit: I would not recommend the use of this, though, because it is way too easy to go wrong - people may write '-1' or 'I AM STUPID' instead of a number that is above 0. xshortguy has a point too, but this is not true for all games (ex. in those with no animation).

Thanks! I have just started to use GML so I'm not so good at it yet..
but I will test your reply.
