Hi, You could use one of two methods:

  1. Insert all timers into a table, then cycle through with a FOR loop pausing each timer in the table. Then they can be resumed by doing the opposite. Also, the built-in timers only have pause and resume functions included from build 596, not 591. You’ll need to be a subscriber for that.

  2. Use the BeebeGames class found here http://developer.anscamobile.com/code/beebegames-class for your timers. You can pause all timers at once with one line of code and then resume with another line. Documentation is provided by JB in the link.

I recommend using the BeebeGames class from method 2 as you can test without a developer subscription.
