Description

Sent to all GameObjects when the application pauses.

OnApplicationPause is called

OnApplicationPause can be a co-routine; to do this use the yield statement in the function. Implemented this way, it is evaluated twice during the initial frame: first as an early notification, and secondly during the normal co-routine update step.

On Android, when the on-screen keyboard is enabled, it causes a OnApplicationFocus( false ) event. Additionally, if you press "Home" at the moment the keyboard is enabled, the OnApplicationFocus() event is not called, but OnApplicationPause() is called instead.

	var isPaused: boolean = false;

		if (isPaused)
			GUI.Label(new Rect(100, 100, 50, 30), "Game paused");
	}
	function OnApplicationFocus(hasFocus: boolean) {
		isPaused = !hasFocus;
	}
	function OnApplicationPause(pauseStatus: boolean) {
		isPaused = pauseStatus;
