Pause Menu

Question

Im trying to make a pause menu. Ive gotten all this:

 var guiSkin : GUISkin;
 var MainMenu : Rect = Rect(10, 10, 200, 200);
 function Start () {
 
 }
 
 function Update () {
 
 }
 
 function OnGUI () {
 if(guiSkin != null)
     GUI.skin = guiSkin;
 GUI.Window(0, MainMenu, TheMainMenu, "Pause Menu");
 }
 
 function TheMainMenu () {
 if(GUILayout.Button("Main Menu")){
 Application.LoadLevel("MainMenu");
 }
 if(GUILayout.Button("Restart")){
 Application.LoadLevel("InGame");
 }
 if(GUILayout.Button("Quit")){
 Application.Quit();
 }
 }

Only problem ive got left, and have no clue how to fix.. How can i make it actually Pause the game? How can i make it Show/Hide once i press Esc?

 var isPause = false;
 
 function Update () {
  if( Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
    {
       isPause = !isPause
       if(isPause)
          Time.timeScale = 0;
       else
          Time.timeScale = 1;
    }
 }
 
 function OnGUI()
 {
    if(isPause)
        GUI.Window(0, MainMenu, TheMainMenu, "Pause Menu");
 }

Thanks for the help :) But when i use this, then i get this: "Assets/Pause Script.js(17,32): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'TheMainMenu'." and: "Assets/Pause Script.js(17,22): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'MainMenu'."

I think you are not using

var MainMenu : Rect = Rect(10, 10, 200, 200);

and

TheMainMenu() function,

so use these things and your code will work for sure.

I think i got it fixed, i mixed the help from you with my own, and got this:

 var isPause = false;
 var MainMenu : Rect = Rect(10, 10, 200, 200);
  
 function Update () {
  if( Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
    {
       isPause = !isPause;
       if(isPause)
          Time.timeScale = 0;
       else
          Time.timeScale = 1;
    }
 }
  
 function OnGUI()
 {
    if(isPause)
        GUI.Window(0, MainMenu, TheMainMenu, "Pause Menu");
 }
 
 function TheMainMenu () {
 if(GUILayout.Button("Main Menu")){
 Application.LoadLevel("MainMenu");
 }
 if(GUILayout.Button("Restart")){
 Application.LoadLevel("InGame");
 }
 if(GUILayout.Button("Quit")){
 Application.Quit();
 }
 }

 //assign these publics in inspector once you attach script to empty object
 public GUIStyle GUIStyleButton;
 public Texture2D pauseButtonTexture;
 
 bool gamePausedBool;
 
 void Start()
 {
 gamePausedBool = false;
 Time.TimeScale = 1;
 }
 
 void OnGUI()
 {
 
 
 //player presses pause button while playing game
 //this script will need to be in the scene you can attach to some empty object.

if (gamePausedBool == false) {

 if (GUI.Button(new Rect(pauseVectorPosition.x, pauseVectorPosition.y, vectorSizeSmall.x, vectorSizeSmall.y), pauseButtonTexture, GUIStyleButton))
 {
 
 gamePausedBool = true;
 Time.timeScale = 0;
  
 }

return;

}

 else if (gamePausedBool == true)
 {
 //more buttons for all the paused game stuff..
 
 //button to unpause game...
 if (GUI.Button(new Rect(pauseVectorPosition.x, pauseVectorPosition.y, vectorSizeSmall.x, vectorSizeSmall.y), pauseButtonTexture, GUIStyleButton))
 {
 
 gamePausedBool = false;
 Time.timeScale = 1;
 
 }
 
 }
             
 }
 
 void Update()
 {
 if (gamePausedBool == true)
 {
 return;
 }
 
 //your normal game logic
 }

Sorry about format don't have time to try to fix atm.

I don't use this script much anymore. But use Screen.showcursor .

And maybe my new script can help you:

 #pragma strict
  
 var paused : boolean;
 var myString : String = "Mute";
 var Mute : boolean;
 var guiSkin : GUISkin;
  
 function Start () {
  
 }
  
 function Update () {
  
     if(Input.GetKeyDown("escape")){
          paused = !paused;
        }
  
        if(paused)
          Time.timeScale = 0;
        else
          Time.timeScale = 1;
  
  
          if (Mute == true){     
        gameObject.GetComponent(AudioListener).enabled = false;   
     }
     else{
        gameObject.GetComponent(AudioListener).enabled = true;
     }
  
 }
  
 // JavaScript
 var icon : Texture2D;
  
 //var frameStyle : GUIStyle;
  
 function OnGUI () {
  
        GUI.skin = guiSkin;
  
     if(paused){
  
 //   GUI.Box (Rect (10,10, 100, 50), icon, frameStyle);
  
        if (GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width/2 - 100,Screen.height/2 - 120, 200, 100), "Menu")) {
          Application.LoadLevel("Menu");
               Time.timeScale = 1;
        }
  
        if (GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width/2 - 100,Screen.height/2,200,100), "Restart")) {
          Application.LoadLevel("Game");
               Time.timeScale = 1;
        }
  
        if (GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width/2 - 100,Screen.height/2 + 120,200,100), myString)) {
          if (myString == "Mute"){
          myString = "Unmute";
          Mute = true;
          }
  
          else{
          myString = "Mute";
          Mute = false;
          }
        }
     }
 }

Hope this helps :-)

Don`t use Time.timescale = 0; Because if your any animation is playing your game will shoiw error(s) . Use :

Time.timeScale = 0.0001;
