Unity(C#) - How to properly pause the game?

Question

C++ / C#

By pressing the button, a pause window opens where there are three more buttons: continue the game, settings, exit. So that nothing happens in the game during the pause, I used timeScale = 0, but because of this, the buttons cannot be pressed either. How can I stop the whole game except the pause window?

Answer 1

In addition to Time.timeScale = 0, you must also remember to turn off all scripts related to mouse movements (moving around the map in rts / tower defense, mouse look in first / third person actions, etc.)
