I am trying to make a pause system but

[spare sky]

what doesnt happen

[mighty spoke]

when I press escape, the pauseMenuCanvas does not show up

paused does not become true

and the movement does not disable

[spare sky]

Could you try .GetKeyUp instead?

or GetKeyDown

[mighty spoke]

Let me try that. I've never heard of GetKeyUp

[worldly crest]

do u disable the canvas before pressing play?

[mighty spoke]

Yes

[worldly crest]

enable it, then through code disable it at the very start when ur game starts

then try to renable it the way you want to

[spare sky]

By reference, .GetKey

Returns true while the user holds down the key identified by name.```

[worldly crest]

I had this issue too, for some reason unity doesn't work with an object disabled before play

[mighty spoke]

okay, let me see if that works, give me sec...

[worldly crest]

[mighty spoke]

This doesn't work

[worldly crest]

did u enable it in the hierarchy before pressing play?

[spare sky]

Didnt GetKeyUp work?

[mighty spoke]

It did actually! Unfortunately, this isn't the effect I want in my game because it can be abused easily, is there any way to get around it?

[mighty spoke]

Yea, I made sure to enable it first then set it to false upon Awake()

[spare sky]

How's that

[mighty spoke]

if the player pauses during mid-air, he continues to be affected by physics and doesn't stop mid-air. I don't know how to make him stop mid-air anyway

[worldly crest]

the simplest solution I have for u is to set the Time to 0, this freezes everything tho

[mighty spoke]

That might work actually

how do I set it back to normal time afterwards

[spare sky]

Either do that or stop every other component

[mighty spoke]

if they unpause

[worldly crest]

just set it back to 1

[mighty spoke]

okay! so, Time.timeScale = 0;
right?

[worldly crest]

that should do it ya

[mighty spoke]

thanks!
