Through much distress finding a solution online to pause all timers, I finally gave up and decided to write my own. From what I understand, many people have issues with timers when they try to implement pause menus because there’s no all-encompassing “pause” function. Hopefully this one will help anyone who needs it. (Please let me know if there is a better board to post this on)
