Assets/UI Scripts/Pauser.cs(29,36): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `else’

You must encapsulate the if/else blocks, if you only have one line of code inside an if-block you can skip the brackets ( or whatever they’re called in English. ) but since you have more lines in both your if and else block you will need to tell the compiler what should be performed.

if (paused) {
                       Time.timeScale = 0;
                        PauseMenu.enabled = true;
} 
             else {
                        Time.timeScale = 1;
                        PauseMenu.enabled = false;
}

Thank you for the reply. I made it work like this.
