Coroutine still running even if game is paused and time scale set to 0 - unity3d

Question

As the title pointed out, for some reason when my game is paused my co-routine still runs. I even went as far as to put the time scale condition in a while condition so that the while doesnt run if it paused but to no avail. I've added my code in it's entirety and hope that someone will be able to assist.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Chronos;
public class ObjectSpawn : BaseBehaviour //MonoBehaviour
{
public float minTime = 3f;
public float maxTime = 9f;
public float minX = -65.5f;
public float maxX = -5.5f;
public float topY = -5.5f;
public float z = 0.0f;
public int count = 50;
public GameObject prefab;
public bool doSpawn = true;
public float fallGrav =1.0f;
int first = 1;
void Start()
{
Clock clock = Timekeeper.instance.Clock("MovingOneWayPlatforms");
StartCoroutine(Spawner());
}
IEnumerator Spawner()
{
while (first == 1) {
yield return time.WaitForSeconds(8.0f);
first = 0;
}
while (doSpawn && count > 0 /*&& time.timeScale != 0 */)
{
Renderer renderer = GetComponent<Renderer>();
float min = renderer.bounds.min.x;
float max = renderer.bounds.max.x;
Vector3 v12 = new Vector3(Random.Range(minX, maxX), this.gameObject.transform.position.y, 0f);
prefab.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().gravityScale = fallGrav;
prefab = Instantiate(prefab, v12, Random.rotation);
count--;
// yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(minTime, maxTime));
yield return time.WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(minTime, maxTime));
Destroy(prefab, 6);
}
}
}

Answer 1

Try to uncomment your 2nd while statement, I think that is your problem.

Answer 2

I am new and still not used to Chronos.
Maybe I'm wrong but my guess is this line.
Destroy(prefab, 6);
In my understanding, Destroy's delay should not affected by chronos.
You better use new Coroutine to destroy it.
like this
StartCoroutine(DestroyRoutine(prefab))
IEnumurator DestroyRoutine(GameObject gameobject)
{
yield return time.WaitForSeconds(6);
Destroy(gameObject)
}
