Issue with effects upon pausing

[Otukuoi]

I have a falling leaves effect in place for my first level, but upon pausing they still spawn, causing severe lag and vertical lines of the leaves to fall when I unpause. Is there a universal way to fix this? I can share my code if need be

If you're spawning your leaves via a separate object that is a child of c_object, set its culling to CULLING.PAUSEONLY.
If you're doing this in a stage/room controller, before spawning a leaf check if c_framework.state is not STATE_PAUSED

Also make sure the leaf object itself has a culling type of CULLING.REMOVE or else you'll end up having tons of leaves in your stage
