How do you pause the game without using the pause trigger?

I've heard you can pause or like freeze the game without the use of the pause trigger. The problem I'm having is the pause trigger only works a couple times in 2-player mode cause you only get a couple pauses lol.

There is a way:

Enumerate all units within the map (in this case, playable map area) and pause each one of them.
Alternatively, you can instead use a function in the Unit category that does this for you.

  • Unit - Pause/Unpause All Units
In retrospect, I don't really see this as pausing the game entirely, but only for all the units that are currently in the map.

Thank you so much, I finally learned a new trigger and this solves all my problems!!!!
