NPC still moves even when paused.

update: pause code added

As per title, if the game is paused, everything stops, even the NPC pauses when patrolling. However, when the NPC goes from idle and patrol to chase mode, it goes after the player. When paused though during chase mode, the animations pause but the NPC still moves slowly, which I noticed the X and Z position increases. I’m assuming it has to do with the NPC’s transform but after adding and removing bits, still no idea why.

Heres the coding:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CHASE : MonoBehaviour 
{
	public Transform player;
	public Transform myTransform;
	static Animator anim;
	public float moveSpeed = 3.0f;
	public Transform[] points;
	private int destPoint = 0;
	private NavMeshAgent agent;


	void Start () 
	{
		anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
		agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
		agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
		GotoNextPoint();
	}



	void Update () 
	{
		Vector3 direction = player.position - this.transform.position;
		direction.y = 0;
		float angle = Vector3.Angle (direction, this.transform.forward);
		if (Vector3.Distance (player.position, this.transform.position) < 30 && angle < 180) 
		{

			myTransform.position += myTransform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
			this.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp 
				(this.transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation (direction) , 0.1f * Time.deltaTime * 50.0f) ;

				anim.SetBool ("isIdle", false);
				if (direction.magnitude > 5) 
			{		
					myTransform.position += myTransform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
					this.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp 
					(this.transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation (direction) , 0.1f * Time.deltaTime * 50.0f) ;
				this.transform.Translate (0f * Time.deltaTime, 0f * Time.deltaTime, 0.05f);
					anim.SetBool ("isChasing", true);
					anim.SetBool ("isDeath", false);
				} else {
					anim.SetBool ("isChasing", false);
					anim.SetBool ("isDeath", false);
					}
		}else if(agent.remainingDistance < 0.5f)
					{
					anim.SetBool("isIdle", true);
					anim.SetBool("isChasing", false);
					anim.SetBool("isDeath", false);
					GotoNextPoint();
					}


	}

	void GotoNextPoint() 
	{
		// Returns if no points have been set up
		if (points.Length == 0)
			return;
		Debug.Log ("Not chasing", gameObject);

		// Set the agent to go to the currently selected destination.
		agent.destination = points[destPoint].position;

		// Choose the next point in the array as the destination,
		// cycling to the start if necessary.
		destPoint = (destPoint + 1) % points.Length;
	}

}

Heres also the pause script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class Pause_menu : MonoBehaviour 
{

	GameObject[] pauseObjects;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		Time.timeScale = 1;
		pauseObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("ShowOnPause");
		hidePaused();
	}

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{


		if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
		{
			if(Time.timeScale == 1)
			{
				Time.timeScale = 0;
				showPaused();
			} else if (Time.timeScale == 0){
				Debug.Log ("high");
				Time.timeScale = 1;
				hidePaused();
			}
		}
	}


	//Reloads the Level
	public void Reload()
	{
		SceneManager.LoadScene(3);
	}

	public void Reload_MM()
	{
		SceneManager.LoadScene(("Main menu"));
	}

	//controls the pausing of the scene
	public void pauseControl()
	{
		if(Time.timeScale == 1)
		{
			Time.timeScale = 0;
			showPaused();
		} else if (Time.timeScale == 0)
		{
			Time.timeScale = 1;
			hidePaused();
		}
	}

	//shows objects with ShowOnPause tag
	public void showPaused()
	{
		foreach(GameObject g in pauseObjects)
		{
			g.SetActive(true);
		}
	}

	//hides objects with ShowOnPause tag
	public void hidePaused()
	{
		foreach(GameObject g in pauseObjects)
		{
			g.SetActive(false);
		}
	}

	//loads inputted level
	public void ExitGame()
	{
		Application.Quit();
	}
}

You mention pausing but don’t describe how it’s done. I’m guessing it’s done via Time.timeScale ??? If so, you need to update based off that as well.

example:

myTransform.position += myTransform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

should be:

myTransform.position += myTransform.forward * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime * Time.timeScale;
