Disabling Unity Mobile UI Controls during game pause

Question

I've been working on a mobile Galaxy shooter 2D game in unity and it's pretty much finished just a bug I want to fix before publishing. The fire UI button is still active during the pause state of the game. Everything else freezes but the button still works during paused causing an unlimited firing glitch.

Anyone have any tips or experience on how to disable the UI buttons actions during the paused state?

Answer 1

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class YourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public Button fireButton; // Reference to your UI fire button
private bool isPaused = false;

private void Start()
{
// Add an onClick listener to your button
fireButton.onClick.AddListener(OnFireButtonClick);
}

private void OnFireButtonClick()
{
// Check if the game is not paused before allowing firing
if (!isPaused)
{
// Add your firing logic here
// For example, you can call a Fire() function from your game logic
// Fire();
}
}

private void Update()
{
// Check for pause input (e.g., a pause button press)
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.P)) // Change this to your desired pause input
{
isPaused = !isPaused;

// Disable or enable the button based on the pause state
fireButton.interactable = !isPaused;

// Pause or resume your game logi
