Hello, Sponge918
Gdevelop reads events from top to bottom. After reading all the events, it updates the game and this is considered a frame. In your game when the player clicks to pause, the game is paused and changes the “CanPause” variable to “false”. In the bottom event, the condition checks this variable again and because it was changed to false the actions occur and your game is not paused anymore. To avoid this you can use the “toggle” action for your boolean variable. Something like this:
