Hi guys, the pause canvas is showing but the game does not pause. any ideas?

using UnityEngine;

public class Puase_menu : MonoBehaviour {

Input_m im;
public GameObject pause_menu;
void Awake ()
{
    im = GameObject.Find("Game_Manager").GetComponent<Input_m>();
}
void Update ()
{
    if (im.PressedDown ("Pause"))
    {
        pause_menu.SetActive(true);
        Time.timeScale = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1;
    }
}

}

Hi You must disable Error Pause from the Console

If you want to make a pause menu, simply use an if statement in the update function that detects if paused is false, if so continue as normal. Else display the pause screen. Add a mouse click detection for a pause button or set the esc button to switch paused around.

As @Martin Schultz says:
I think that code can be like this:

public bool paused = false;
public void Update() 
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown("p")) 
    {
        if(paused == false) 
        {
            Time.timeScale = 0f;
            paused = true;
        }
        else 
        {
            Time.timeScale = 1f;
            paused = false;
        }
    }
}

I hope that this works.
