I'm trying to set up an instructions menu that shows when pressing "P" on the keyboard

I was hoping someone could check over my code here, tell me if I’m going about this the wrong way. If so, what would be a better way to tackle this. I’m fairly new to coding and am trying to use the search functions, but I’m at a point where I believe I’ve looked at this code too much and am having issues.

Assets/Instructionsmenu.js(8,46): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘isPaused’.

Assets/Instructionsmenu.js(26,16): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘guiSkin’.

Assets/Instructionsmenu.js(29,97): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘nativeVerticalResolution’.

Assets/Instructionsmenu.js(29,139): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘nativeVerticalResolution’.

Assets/Instructionsmenu.js(32,8): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘isPaused’.

function Update()
{
 
     if(Input.GetKeyDown("Instructions") && !isPaused)
   {
      print("Paused");
      Time.timeScale = 0.0;
      isPaused = true;
   }
   else if(Input.GetKeyDown("Instructions") && isPaused)
   {
      print("Unpaused");
      Time.timeScale = 1.0;
      isPaused = false;    
   } 
}
 
function OnGUI ()
{
 
    // Set up gui skin
    GUI.skin = guiSkin;
 
    // Our GUI is laid out for a 1920 x 1200 pixel display (16:10 aspect). The next line makes sure it rescales nicely to other resolutions.
    GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS (Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, Vector3 (Screen.height / nativeVerticalResolution, Screen.height / nativeVerticalResolution, 1)); 
 
 
    if(isPaused)
    {
      //RenderSettings.fogDensity = 1;
      if(GUI.Button (Rect((Screen.width)/2, 480, 140,70), "W to walk forward", "button2"))
      {
         print("W to walk forward");
      }
      if(GUI.Button (Rect((Screen.width)/2,560,140,70), "S to walk backwards", "button2"))
      {
         print("S to walk backward");
      }
       if(GUI.Button (Rect((Screen.width)/2,560,140,70), "D to walk to the right", "button2"))
      {
         print("D to walk to the right");
      }
       if(GUI.Button (Rect((Screen.width)/2,560,140,70), "A to walk to the left", "button2"))
      {
         print("A to walk to the left");
      }
       if(GUI.Button (Rect((Screen.width)/2,560,140,70), "Left Mouse button to Fire Rifle", "button2"))
      {
         print("Left Mouse button to Fire Rifle");
      }
      if(GUI.Button (Rect((Screen.width)/2,640,340,70), "Back to the game", "button2"))
      {
         print("Back to the game");
         Time.timeScale = 1.0;
         isPaused = false;   
      }
   } 
 
 
}
 
 
@script AddComponentMenu ("GUI/Pause GUI")

Is that you’re whole script? Because if it is you need to add varibles. To add a varible type it like this(replace the things inside <> with what it stands):

var : ;

For example it looks like this:

var isPaused : boolean = false;

The = false is optional but I recomend that you type something there.
