Pausing simulator

[Abanoub-G]

I need the simulator to pause while some other piece of script runs which communicates with another piece of software.

From the discussion in issue #1274 I understood that UE4 will wait for the python script to execute world.wait_for_tick() or world.tick() in order for it to run the next tick in the simulator (UE4).

I have done a little test, which is:

while True:
            world.wait_for_tick()

            time.sleep(10)

I was expecting that the simulator will wait 10seconds between each tick, but this didn't happen. Any idea why it is not doing what I am expecting?

Thanks

You need to enable synchronous mode and use world.tick() to step the simulation, take a look at the example synchronous_mode.py.

Thanks a lot @nsubiron . That solved it.

Thanks a lot @nsubiron . That solved it.

Can you please share your code to pause simulation
