//Attach your canvas to this variable in inspector
public GameObject canvasObj;

//This will check if your game is paused (we'll set it)
bool gamePaused;


void Update()
{
//Reading input for ESCAPE key, and by saying gamePaused = !gamePaused, we switch the bool on and off each time the Keycode is registered!
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
    gamePaused = !gamePaused;

//Now we enable and disable the game object!
if(gamePaused)
    canvasObj.SetActive(true);
else
    canvasObj.SetActive(false);

}

Hey, I got another question how can you lock the cursor with escape.
what I actually want is a the scrip here above but wen you press escape it wil set the game to pause and it will show the cursor. but I really don’t know how you can do that. Do you know how you can do that?

Hi Sykoo,
Your explanation is very short but very helpful and easy to understand.
I am a beginner too, seeking this info just found your help here.
Perfect.
I tried reading UnityDoc but sometime it’s not easy to understand.
But reading how to use SetActive from your code above, I just suddenly realized cause you comments are so straight and simple.

Thanks so much.

//Pause System - To enable mouse when you press Escape.
void Update() {
        if (!gamePaused)
        {
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
            Cursor.visible = false;
            mouseLook(); //All mouse / moviment or other scripts
        }
        else
        {
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
            Cursor.visible = true;
        }
}
