Make menu appear if button is pressed

Im trying to make a pause menu so that if the pause button is pressed a menu would pop up in game with buttons for the menu, to resume,restart etc. and Im trying to make it with the new ui . Can anyone help?Is it even possible to do this with the UI and not the GUI? All help is appreciated

Yes it is possible and moreover it is possible in many different ways, like Masking, Animation, CanvasGroup, etc.

Check out my answers HERE, THERE and also THERE to get the basic ideas. If you’ll have more complex idea of what you need from those and what behavior you expect and you will have some questions about how/what/when then let me know in the comment section below.
