Time.timeScale affects eveything releated with timeScale.

In your situation you can create a coroutine and return 1 yeild before setting timescale to 0.

Something like that.
(I have written it with notepad so there might be syntax errors.But the logic should be the same.)
Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

IEnumarator WaitAndPause()
{
	yield return null;
	Time.timeScale = 0;
}

void Start()
{
	StartCorotuine("WaitAndPause");
}

To pause all physics and all movement in your game, you have to use Time.deltaTime in your scripts. It would be equal proportional to your framerate and your timescale Unity - Scripting API: Time.deltaTime
