You emit an event that says “everyone stops now”
every node that cares this event should have a script with a subscription to the event and stop(the code of what’s stop means depends of you)

I endorse the way Andres_IC suggested for three reasons:

  1. it favours isolation of concerns, where each object “knows what to do”;
  2. it removes all global responsibility from the main controller class, which would tend to get really messy otherwise;
  3. it focuses on scalability. If you need more objects to react to a simple message (the event in this case), just make the object listen (on/off) to these events.
