Set speed of an object

#1

Hi you all, in my endless run game, I’ve added a pause butto, which sets all my object’s speed on “0” if it is pressed once, while if it is pressed twice it sets the object’s speed to their native value.
Here’s it’s code:

local pausebtn = display.newImage("immagini/pause.png")   
pausebtn.x =\_W - 15  
pausebtn.y =\_H - 15  
  
local function pause()  
if paused == false then  
physics.pause()  
timer.pause(myTimer)  
bgSpeed = 0  
terraSpeed = 0  
marteSpeed = 0  
mercurioSpeed = 0  
meteoraSpeed = 0  
coinSpeed = 0  
temp = 0  
paused = true  
elseif paused == true then  
physics.start()  
bgSpeed = 1  
terraSpeed = 1  
marteSpeed = 1  
mercurioSpeed = 1  
meteoraSpeed = 1  
coinSpeed = 1  
timer.resume(myTimer)  
paused = false  
end  
end  
  
pausebtn:addEventListener("tap", pause)

now I’ve got the following function, and I want to set the speed of the three stars spawned by it to “0” when I press the pause button (and to set it back to their original speed when I press it again).

Here’s the function:

local function stelle()  
  
local starTable = {} -- Set up star table  
   
function initStar()  
 local star1 = {}  
 star1.imgpath = "immagini/star1.png"; --Set Image Path for Star  
 star1.movementSpeed = 10000; --Determines the movement speed of star  
 table.insert(starTable, star1); --Insert Star into starTable  
  
 local star2 = {}  
 star2.imgpath = "immagini/star2.png";  
 star2.movementSpeed = 12000;  
 table.insert(starTable, star2);   
  
  
 local star3 = {}  
 star3.imgpath = "immagini/star3.png";  
 star3.movementSpeed = 14000;  
 table.insert(starTable, star3);  
end --END initStar()   
   
function getRandomStar()  
 local temp = starTable[math.random(1, #starTable)] -- Get a random star from starTable  
 local randomStar = display.newImage(temp.imgpath) -- Set image path for object  
 randomStar.myName = "star" -- Set the name of the object to star  
 randomStar.movementSpeed = temp.movementSpeed; -- Set how fast the object will move  
 randomStar.x = math.random(0,\_W) -- Set starting point of star at a random X position  
 randomStar.y = -50 -- Start the star off screen  
 randomStar.rotation = math.random(0,360) -- Rotate the object  
 starMove = transition.to(randomStar, {  
 time=randomStar.movementSpeed,   
 y=\_H,  
 onComplete = function(self) self.parent:remove(self); self = nil; end  
 }) -- Move the star  
end--END getRandomStar()  
   
function startGame()  
 starTimer1 = timer.performWithDelay(1700,getRandomStar, 0)  
 starTimer2 = timer.performWithDelay(2300,getRandomStar, 0)  
 starTimer3 = timer.performWithDelay(2700,getRandomStar, 0)   
end--END startGame()  
   
   
 initStar()  
startGame()  
  
end  
  
tmrStelle = timer.performWithDelay (30000, stelle, 0)

How can I do that?

Thank you all! :slight_smile: [import]uid: 122056 topic_id: 36060 reply_id: 336060[/import]
