Waypoints and timing

I have 3 simple cubes following 3 different waypoint paths. I want the cubes to pause at certain points then resume their travel. This pause is simply a fixed time and is not caused by anything else happening other that reaching a location on the path. The eventual goal is to build a historical battlefield animation where the cubes would represent units on a battlefield. The paths would represent what they did in the battle. This would be a recording of the battle, not a game using inputs to move anything. Are there any tutorials showing how to set the timing or would it be better to learn Timeline and Cinemachine?

 

Yes - for animations you won't find much better tools for free.

But to simple pause everything, theres Time.timeScale set it to 0 with a simple script and everything physics, particles, animation and every script using Time.deltaTime will be paused. ^^
