Code issues but there are no errors in Godot? Please help?

Here is my code below. I'm using a very similar code for another UI element without issue. Both are singletons. The menu appears successfully but I can't close it and go back to the game.

extends CanvasLayer

var menu = 0

func _ready():
	pass
	
func _process(delta):
	if menu == 0:
		if (Input.is_action_just_pressed("menu")):
			get_tree().paused = true
			$Menu_Character.visible = true
			menu = 1
	elif menu == 1:
		if (Input.is_action_just_pressed("menu")):
			get_tree().paused = false
			$Menu_Character.visible = false
			menu = 0
			pass

Edited the OP to format the code.

I think you might want to move it out of _process()(into input processing perhaps?) and make sure the CanvasLayer node has it's respective pause state set to such that it can continue to work when the game is paused.

Currently your code pauses the game when the menu is brought up but then it stops processing on the next frame update since the game is paused.

I've since changed the code somewhat but it looks like changing the pause state to 'process' instead of 'inherit' has fixed the issue. Thank you :)
