Using NGUI for pause menu

[RyuuzakiBjorn]

Hi everyone, this is my first post!
I've got a little question which I can't seem to figure out the answer to, and was wondering if you guys 'n gals can help me out.
I've created a GUI in UIRoot for a pause menu. I've created a script to pause the game but I'm unsure how I can make the NGUI UI appear when the pause button is pressed and dissapear when players press the pause button again.

It sounds so simple, but I can't figure it out.

My current code:

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Pause : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.         private bool pauseEnabled = false;             
7.        
8.         void  Start (){
9.                 pauseEnabled = false;
10.                 Time.timeScale = 1;
11.                 AudioListener.volume = 1;
12.                 Screen.showCursor = false;
13.         }
14.        
15.         void  Update (){
16.                
17.                 if(Input.GetButtonDown ("pauseButton")){
18.                        
19.                         if(pauseEnabled == true){
20.                                 pauseEnabled = false;
21.                                 Time.timeScale = 1;
22.                                 AudioListener.volume = 1;
23.                                 Screen.showCursor = false;                     
24.                         }
25.                        
26.                         else if(pauseEnabled == false){
27.                                 pauseEnabled = true;
28.                                 AudioListener.volume = 0;
29.                                 Time.timeScale = 0;
30.                                 Screen.showCursor = true;
31.                         }
32.                 }
33.         }
34. }

How would I make it hide/unhide my NGUI ui when the game is paused?

Thanks in advance for the help!

An easy way would be to add a TweenAlpha to your root panel, start with alpha = 0 and then hit Play(pauseEnabled);

[ArenMook]

1. TweenAlpha.Begin(panelGameObject, duration, targetAlpha);

...where 'duration' is how quickly you want it to fade in or out, and 'targetAlpha' is either 0 or 1 depending on what you want it to be.
