use mouse click to pause/stop a transform rotate script on gameobject

Question

use mouse click to pause/stop a transform rotate script on gameobject I've got the simple script below which allows a continuous rotation of my gameobject. Is there a script that i can use that will pause or stop the gameobject rotation when i click on the gameobject?

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class RotatingItem : MonoBehaviour { // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() {

 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {
     transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0f,50f,0f) * Time.deltaTime);
 }

}

You can simply write up some logic for that:

 bool isRotating = true;
 
 void Update()
 {
 
 //if left click check if the game object is hit by the mouse and if so, stop it
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             Vector3 screenPos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
             float allowableVariance = 50.0f;
 
             //if the click is within 50 pixels of the object, stop rotating
             if (Mathf.Abs((Input.mousePosition - screenPos).magnitude) <= allowableVariance)
             {
                 if (isRotating)
                 {
                     isRotating = false;
                 }
                 else
                 {
                      isRotating = true;
                 }
             }
         }
         if (isRotating)
         {
             transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0,50,0) * Time.deltaTime);
         }
 }

That script will toggle it (rotation on, rotation off) every time you click close to it.
