Using pause function for dialogue leading to bugs

Carvii

I'm using the pause function for all of my dialogue in my game, with everything pausing except the dialogue panel when you start a dialogue interaction, but it tends to loop the encounter because it re-reads the input when it unpauses after, or continue the input (I'm using input.is_action_just_pressed) since it's the same key to interact, any potential solutions or ideas?

I temporarily fixed the issue by making the "continue dialog" and "interact" inputs different keys, but I'd prefer keeping them both spacebar if possible later on

try stop the input after the key hit in the dialogue

dialogue script

func _input(_event):
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("space_bar"):
		get_tree().set_input_as_handled()
		tellmebro()

This worked thanks
