Resolved I want to make a pause menu using Escape key as an input

The problem is that I want to take the escape key's input for pausing and continuing the game but two functions happen at the same time.

I thought about using waitforsecond method but I thought it doesn't fit at this part.
Can you developers help me fix this problem?

(I am trying to do a unity learn part, I'm sorry for my bad English.) (I don't want any answer, I want help like you can try using this "____" method. So I can research that method myself.)

Code (CSharp):

1. public void PauseGame()
2.     {
3.         pauseMenu.gameObject.SetActive(true);
4.         Time.timeScale = 0;
5.         isGamePaused = true;
6.    
7.     }
8.     public void ContinueGame()
9.     {
10.         pauseMenu.gameObject.SetActive(false);
11.         Time.timeScale = 1;
12.         isGamePaused = false;
13.     }
14.     public void Update()
15.     {
16.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && isGameActive)
17.         {
18.             PauseGame();
19.             Debug.Log("Game should be paused rn");
20.         }
21.    
22.    
23.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && isGamePaused && isGameActive)
24.         {
25.             ContinueGame();
26.             Debug.Log("Game should NOT be paused rn");
27.         }
28.    
29.     }

 

Try something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void Update()
2. {
3.     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
4.     {
5.         if (isGamePaused)
6.         {
7.             ContinueGame();
8.             Debug.Log("Game should NOT be paused rn");
9.         } else
10.         {
11.             PauseGame();
12.             Debug.Log("Game should be paused rn");
13.         }
14.     }
15. }

And always use CODE tags when you insert code in your forum posts. More info here.

 

THANK YOU! I literally saw my mistake with using two if's rather than if and an else. Thanks again!

And I saw my mistake about Code tags thanks for telling me about it! Have a good day!
