Plutonium

Just as title says I adapted a mod from hima_simple that pauses the game playing custom zombies. The problem with it was that the zombies still moved to your last Coords before stopping in place and zombies continued to spawn as well. useful for the start or end of the round but not in the middle. Mine pauses spawning, movement, allows 5 seconds of invuln when unpausing to reposition. This was very much vibe coded and hasn't been tested on bosses yet but I will report back!

How to install
C:\Users\13103\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\t6\scripts\zm
Or equivalent
Most likely will have to create ZM file
Add new notepad file in zm, copy code in, name it pause_mod.gsc. Save and play! LMK if anything is broken!
