I can't find a tutorial for this

Hello unity community. Huge fan with huge plans. It's going to take a lot of work to make what I want happen so I thought I'd skin all the features off and start with the skeleton. I can fill it in and make it fun and pretty later. So in it's simplest form, I need a script to make a UI appear upon interacting with the Journal object that will also stop everything else while the journal is active. The closest I can find to this on Youtube is a script to open a box. That is obviously not what I want.

 

Here are the tutorials for the UI: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/s/user-interface-ui

You can generally "pause" gameplay elements by setting Time.timeScale to 0: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-timeScale.html

 

hey thank you
