Pause Menu

School_Help

I am trying to make a pause menu in my game, the buttons click and everything is connected. I don't know what is wrong with the code:
extends Control

signal move_camera(direction)

var time = 0

func _on_button_mouse_entered() -> void:
move_camera.emit('up')

func _on_down_button_mouse_entered() -> void:
move_camera.emit('down')

@onready var pause_menu = $Pause_Menu
var paused = false

func pauseMenu():
if paused:
pause_menu.hide()
Engine.time_scale = 1
else:
pause_menu.show()
Engine.time_scale = 0

paused = !paused

func _on_resume_pressed() -> void:
pauseMenu()

func _process(delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("escape"):
pauseMenu()

School_Help Ok, what is the problem?

For us to successfully help you debug your code, we first need to know (1) What is expected to happen and (2) what is happening instead. In your summary, you only said that you were trying to make a game pause menu and you didn't know what was wrong with your code. That does not explain much about your problem.

I am just trying to help, so if you can get back with more information, that would be nice.

Please read some other posts to learn how to format your code so that it's readable here.

I don't have time to check right now but

Isn't it better to use the "paused" property instead of "time_scale"?

Doesn't putting the "if pressed" condition in _process() instead of _input() mean that it will fire repeatedly, instead of only once when you press the button?

Maybe it is supposed to look something like this:

signal move_camera(direction)

var time = 0

func _on_button_mouse_entered() -> void:
      move_camera.emit('up')

func _on_down_button_mouse_entered() -> void:
      move_camera.emit('down')

@onready var pause_menu = $Pause_Menu
var paused = false

func pauseMenu():
      if paused:
            pause_menu.hide()
            Engine.time_scale = 1
      else:
            pause_menu.show()
            Engine.time_scale = 0

            paused = !paused
func _on_resume_pressed() -> void:
      pauseMenu()

func _process(delta):
      if Input.is_action_just_pressed("escape"):
            pauseMenu()
