Unity3d Pause Button doesn't pause game onClick()

I've made a unity3d game and I want to add UI . I've started with a pause button but it doesn't seem to work. Here is the button info: button info

I've created an uiManager script to manage the button , as shown in the image above and here is the code :

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

public class myUIManager : MonoBehaviour {


    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {

    }

    public void Pause() //Function to take care of Pause Button.. 
    {

        print("Entered Pause Func");
        if (Time.timeScale == 1 && paused == false) //1 means the time is normal so the game is running..
        {
            print("Enterer first if");
            Time.timeScale = 0; //Pause Game..
        }

        if (Time.timeScale == 0)
        {
            Time.timeScale = 1; //Resume Game..
        }
    }
}

Here is the canvas screenshot : enter image description here

Any ideas? I've been searching for hours ..

if the condition of your first if statement is true then you set your timeScale to 0 then the condition of the second if becomes true then you set it back to 1
You should just change your second if to an else if so that if the first condition is true then your program wont check the second one.

 public void Pause() 
    {
        if (Time.timeScale == 1) 
        {
            Time.timeScale = 0;
        }
       else if (Time.timeScale == 0)
        {
            Time.timeScale = 1; //Resume Game..
        }
    }

I think your problem is in your Pause method:

public void Pause() //Function to take care of Pause Button.. 
{

    print("Entered Pause Func");
    if (Time.timeScale == 1 && paused == false) //1 means the time is normal so the game is running..
    {
        print("Enterer first if");
        Time.timeScale = 0; //Pause Game..
    }

    if (Time.timeScale == 0)
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1; //Resume Game..
    }
}

If you enter the first if statement you set Time.timeScale = 0 - and then you immediately go into the second if and set it back to 1.

Try this - it returnss from the Pause method once it sets the Time.timeScale to 0.

public void Pause() //Function to take care of Pause Button.. 
{

    print("Entered Pause Func");
    if (Time.timeScale == 1 && paused == false) //1 means the time is normal so the game is running..
    {
        print("Enterer first if");
        Time.timeScale = 0; //Pause Game..
        return;
    }

    if (Time.timeScale == 0)
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1; //Resume Game..
    }
}

If the only two things you want to do in your Pause method are to set the Time.timeScale to 0 or 1, you could even simplify it to this:

public void Pause() //Function to take care of Pause Button.. 
{

    print("Entered Pause Func");
    if (Time.timeScale == 1 && paused == false) //1 means the time is normal so the game is running..
    {
        print("Enterer first if");
        Time.timeScale = 0; //Pause Game..
    }
    else
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1; //Resume Game..
    }
}
