[@marshall123x]

Great tutorial! However i think its important to mention that in some projects you may need to change your image's texture type from "Default" to "Sprite(2D and UI)" before you can drag it to the image source.

[@MASTERX-nw2gk]

Can you please tell me how to do that im stuck in this situation where I can't drag my image to the source image

[@marshall123x]

@@MASTERX-nw2gk So i tried replying to this twice now and for whatever reason its not showing up so please excuse me if there are multiple replies by me. So the way you change the texture type is while in unity, in the project tab, in the assets menu click on the image that you want to change the texture type of, once highlighted under the inspector tab for that image the first drop down menu should be "Texture Type". Open the drop down menu and click "Sprite (2D and UI)". That should be the solution youre looking for, hope it helps! :)

[@peterparkour2918]

If the Back button is Overlaid on your other buttons in the same scene, you can make a separate script called "Options" and have something like: under public class public GameObject options; void start() { options.SetActive(false); } then drag it to the Options menu, then drag the options menu to the script bar. Now the Back button should be initially hid, and if you click options it would pop up, and the rest of the code would work the same.

[@qidu585]

[@grantmiller5321]

If this doesn't work for anyone, try capitalizing the S in the Start function. The code above works but you can't just copy and paste it since the function name is case sensitive. Thanks for the help!

[@GroundZeroSFM]

For any who have an overlapping BACK button, (assuming you named everything the same as he did) select "SettingsMenu" in the Hierarchy tab. Then in the Inspector tab uncheck the box that is to the right of the 3D cube outline, and to the left of where you name the object. Now the BACK button shall only show after clicking on the Settings Button. I hope this helped!

If you're having trouble setting the image as the background try changing the texture type to "Sprite (2d and UI)" in the inspector for it.

For anyone who encountered the issue of ending up with unclickable buttons after following the instructions to a "T", remember to add an EventSystem and then update it (you'll see a prompt in red on the right side int he inspector).

That one took me a few minutes because the cut you did to that point really distracted me from the fact that the dropdown menu changedd.
