Pause, Unpause

Question

Okay, so I want to be able to pause and unpause my game (not using a GUI text, but instead by just pressing P) and here is my coding so far...

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Pause : MonoBehaviour {
     public bool paused = false;
     void Start ()
     {
         paused = false;
         Time.timeScale = .1f;
     }
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown ("p") && paused == false)
         {
             Time.timeScale = 0;
             paused = true;
         }
         if (Input.GetKeyDown ("p") && paused == true)
         {
             Time.timeScale = 1;
             paused = false;
         }
     }
 }

btw it's in C#. It won't pause but when I hit the P button it goes from Time.timeScale = .1f; to Time.timeScale = 1;

How do I fix that (relativley new to this and I can't find the answer anywhere, trust me.)

So think about it. To begin you have paused set to false. When you press the p key, your test at line 14 will pass, so you'll set paused to true. Then, at line 19, you test if the p key is pressed (it was) and if paused is true (it is). So you'll always set paused to false if the p key is pressed. So, at line 19 do an else if.

And if you want to trim the code a bit :

 if(Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown($$anonymous$$eyCode.P))
 {
    paused = !paused ;
    Time.timeScale = paused ? 0 : 1 ;
 }
