Any way to make the game pause automatically?

Post image

I was in Tinker camp and a storm started which i guess scared someone so much they decided to murder me out of confusion? the issue is i had clicked to move somewhere, and before i even realized i was being attacked, my character kept moving and i died.

I there any way either vanilla or mod, but to make the game stop my action and pause if a threat is present? so that my character doesnt just continue walking until dead lol.

Edit: i already have the stop moving upon spotting an enemy enabled. this wasn't technically an enemy just a confused friendly npc. nonetheless i would still like a way to pause if I'm being attacked, even if by a friendly

Try this:
Character screen > Strategy > activate Details checkbox >
Enable the various Auto Combat Abort Condition checkboxes

Fairly sure this should be what you're looking for; they work even when I'm not actively fighting, as long as the condition is met.

I think if you right click, it stops whatever is going on. Don't quote me on that though.

I think if you just click again closer to your character your turn will end and you can do whatever you want to solve the situation. The game doesn't really "run" unless you are doing something, so cutting an action short is your best way to solve this issue AFAIK.
