I am in the process of releasing an update for my game. I'm trying to make a pause menu, but it is not working like I would really prefer it to. The problem isn't game-breaking, but it is a pain. Basically, when pause is activated by pressing escape, the timescale is set to 0, so everything stops. BUT, if the player keeps spamming the escape key, the time stutters forward. Here is my code:

var level : int;
var check : boolean = false;
var doWindow0 : boolean = false;

function DoWindow0 (windowID : int) {
    if(GUI.Button (Rect (10,30, 150,20), "Back to Menu"))
        Application.LoadLevel(level);

     if(GUI.Button (Rect (10,50, 150,20), "Return to Game"))
     {
        BackToGame();
     }
}

function OnGUI () {

    if (doWindow0)
        window = GUI.Window (0, Rect (Screen.width / 2 - 90,Screen.height / 2 - 45,180,90), DoWindow0, "Pause Menu");
}

function Update()
{

    //I tried to use all of the button events...

    if(Input.GetButtonUp("Esc"))
    {
    doWindow0 = true;
    Screen.lockCursor = false;
    Screen.showCursor = true;
    Time.timeScale = 0;
    }

    if(Input.GetButtonDown("Esc"))
    {
    doWindow0 = true;
    Screen.lockCursor = false;
    Screen.showCursor = true;
    Time.timeScale = 0;
    }

    if(Input.GetButton("Esc"))
    {
    doWindow0 = true;
    Screen.lockCursor = false;
    Screen.showCursor = true;
    Time.timeScale = 0;
    }
}


function BackToGame()
{
Screen.lockCursor = true;
    Screen.showCursor = false;
    doWindow0 = false;
    Time.timeScale = 1.0;
}

Attach this script to a first person controller prefab and try it out for yourself. Any kind of solution would be appreciated.
