so my pausmenu does not work

Questions & Answers
1

i use this as my mouse look script;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class mouselook : MonoBehaviour
{

public float mouseSensitivity = 100f;

public Transform playerBody;

float xRotation = 0f;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
    float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

    xRotation -= mouseY;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

    transform.localRotation  = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);

    playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
}

}
it works!!

then i use this (pretty simple) as my pausemenu script:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class pausmenu : MonoBehaviour
{
public static bool GameIsPaused = false;

public GameObject pausemenuUI;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
    {
        if (GameIsPaused)
        {
            Resume();
        }

        else
        {
            Pause();
        }
    }
}

public void Resume()
{
    pausemenuUI.SetActive(false);
    Time.timeScale = 1f;
    GameIsPaused = false;
}

void Pause()
{
    pausemenuUI.SetActive(true);
    Time.timeScale = 0f;
    GameIsPaused = true;
}

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

public void QuitGame()
{
    Debug.Log("QUIT wohoo");
    Application.Quit();
}

}
also works IF my mouse look scirpt isnt activated. what i mean by that is: if i have mosue look script activeated on my player camera, i cant press the buttons on my pausemenu. it does pop up when i press esc, but when i press a button my mouse just dissapears. also when i hover my buttons nothing happens. if i deactivate my mouse look script, everything works… can someone please tell me what it is thats making my pausmenu not work (it must be in the mouse look script)

I think this is because you locked the cursor, you have to unlock it when the game is paused, and lock it again when the game is resumed.

So you should add Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None; in the Pause() function and Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked; in the Resume() function.

Take a look at the unity docs for more details.
