I have a scene that catches a signal from a child, indicating that the game should be paused, sort of like so:

func _on_Player_paused():
	print('asdf')
	get_tree().paused = true

I know that the signal is getting through because asdf is being printed out, but my game continues to run. Any tips on troubleshooting this?

never mind, figured this one out. My unpause function was being run with the same keypress
