Timescale Pause Combined with Animated UI

You could try using iTween to animate the elements with "ignoreTimeScale" property.

thanks for the awnser, but i dont want to use external stuff if the existing animation is very good in unity itself. I cant be the only one who has stubled upon this problem and i cant imagine that there wouldn't be a simple fix within unity itself. so sorry and thanks?

See here. It shows that the only thing not paused is realtimeSinceStartup and so is the best thing to use for things that ignore the time scaled deltaTime.

This forum thread talks about how to go about doing that. For book-keeping I have added the relevant snippet of code that Tuhljin wrote.

 public class Timekeeper : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
     private float prevRealTime;
     private float thisRealTime;
  
     void Update () {
         prevRealTime = thisRealTime;
         thisRealTime = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;
     }
    
     public float deltaTime {
         get {
             if (Time.timeScale > 0f)  return  Time.deltaTime / Time.timeScale;
             return Time.realtimeSinceStartup - prevRealTime; // Checks realtimeSinceStartup again because it may have changed since Update was called
         }
     }
 }

thank you for the comment. but sadly enough, my problem is not that i cant call anything. the animations of the menu's freeze along with the timescale. which is completely normal and understandable, but i don't want it! meanwhile i found this http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/32753/ideas-for-animating-while-paused.html but i cant seem to get it working..
