Unity show pop up if the player doesn't move for 5 seconds - visual-studio

Question

I have a task on Unity 3d that if the player doesn't move for 5 seconds, a pop-up shows on the center of the screen and if the player moves, the pop-up disappears. How can I write the logic for this task please ?
Thanks

Here is code that will check the mouse position of the user and see if it has moved in the last 5 seconds. If it has not, then the popup window will show up. If it's hard to read here with the comments (I kind of think it is) copy and paste this code into Visual Studio so the colors will help distinguish code from comments.
[SerializeField] GameObject popupWindow = null;
float totTime;
float timeBeforePause = 5f;
Vector3 updatedMousePosition;
private void Update()
{
// Add the time delta between frames to the totTime var
totTime += Time.deltaTime;
// Check to see if the current mouse position input is equivalent to updateMousePosition from the previous update
// If they are equivalent, this means that the user hasn't moved the mouse
if (Input.mousePosition == updatedMousePosition)
{
// Since the user hasn't moved the mouse, check to see if the total Time is greater than the timeBeforePause
if (totTime >= timeBeforePause)
{
// Set the popup window to true in order to show the window (instantiate instead it if if doesn't exist already)
popupWindow.SetActive(true);
}
}
// If the user has moved the mouse, set the totTime back to 0 in order to restart the totTime tracking variable
else
{
totTime = 0;
}
// Check to see if the popup window is visible (active)
if (popupWindow.activeSelf == true)
{
// Check to see if the user has pressed the Esc button
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
{
// Hide the window
popupWindow.SetActive(false);
}
}
// Update the updatedMousePosition before the next frame/update loop executes
updatedMousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
}
If you want to track different user input (key presses) you can use a similar method. Also you will have to implement some sort of button on the popup window that will allow the user to exit out from the popup window once they return. Hope this helps!
