I couldn't let it go. It was triggering and flickering so I knew the code was working, I have a hot start button, it was pausing and unpausing really quickly.
Button function doesn't work, pause function does. Well enough to be implemented with my other random plugins.
I've got about half the VisuStella core mixed with MogHunter's particle and weather effects. Throw in some controller input plugins, GALV's Layers, etc, it adds up fast.
TLDR; Thanks for the plugin and thanks for the help, Hakuen!
