A "Pause System" button

I'm trying to figure out how to Pause a system including all timelines and triggers. Basically lock the controller in it's current state regardless of any triggers (real time, astronomical, etc) until it is released. I can't seem to find the right combination of actions or script syntax to do it. Anyone written a script to do something like this before?

  • For fire alarm "pausing" show, I keep it simple and just have a single high priority timeline with data for all the channels of the show in it (effects at zero, levels static, etc). Then it doesn't matter what's going on behind the scenes as long as this highest priority timeline is onstage. This way you don't have to have a bunch of logic for every trigger and when the timeline is released, then the show goes right back to whatever it needs to be doing.
