Is there a way to pause all running timers, and then later unpause them?

for Turnscripts, there's:

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/functions/allturnscripts.html

foreach (turnscript, AllTurnScripts()) {
  turnscript.enabled = false // to "pause" (disable) all turnscripts
}

-----------

foreach (turnscript, AllTurnScripts()) {
  turnscript.enabled = true // to "un-pause" (enable) all turnscripts
}

not sure if you can do the same with Timers (they might be Functions and not OBJECTS)

maybe you could do something like this:

create ("timer_object")
timer_object.timer_list = NewStringList ()
// add in all the names of your timers:
list add (timer_object.timer_list, TIMER1)
list add (timer_object.timer_list, TIMER2)
list add (timer_object.timer_list, TIMER3)
// etc etc etc

----------------

foreach (timer, timer_object.timer_list) {
  DisableTimer (timer)
}

-----------

foreach (timer, timer_object.timer_list) {
  EnableTimer (timer)
}
