I hope this isn't violating rules by posting here after 3 months of inactivity on this post.

This is a great script! I am going to be using this in my game most likely! I have a question, would it be possible to make it so when the pause screen is brought up, a choice menu is pulled up too? Because I want people to be able to select from options like "Resume", "Options", "Help", "Quit", etc. If you or anyone could help that would be GREAT!
