Enhanced Action Events don't show up for me? I am super confused and I am really confident that I followed your guide precisely so far.

How to use that with the controller

[@brendangumtau-ryan9510]

If you had issues with the pause menu and moving after pause read this. If your player doesn't move after pressing "Resume Game" you need to connect the "Get Player Controller" to the "set input mode game only", I didn't realize he did this and was wondering why I couldn't move. Also if the pause menu doesn't show when you press "P" you need to go into "Edit", then "Project Settings", then "Inputs" under "Engine" and add it in here under "Action Mapping" instead of within the "IMC_Default".

[@TriNetraStudios-21]

Really Helpful Brother thanks

[@banky5302]

Brother, I did as you said but I can't move. TT

[@sivorifrancisco5055]

Thank u so much buddy, i almost start searching 50 tutorials to fix that

[@wegotguns3325]

Sweet, thanks!

[@marshkrr]

Hi whenever exit the level and come back my contros don't work anymore I was wondering if you could provide any assistence?

[@GameDevUE]

Can you now add keybind changes under options?

[@wolfdune508]

This Guy is the best at the tutorials use him more

[@tlematki1568]

so good, thanks

[@askarYT]

Nice video but how we do if we want to repressed the key to enable this pause menu for disable it ?

[@MackawMcDickins]

I Think you would have to make it so on your game character active to your chosen gamemode, you do something along the lines of, If Key is Pressed While This Code=(PauseMenu) Still Active > Resume (Copy Code From Resume) I dont know how to do it cause i am a beginner but it that would be the base logic for the Operation/Blueprint U Juste need to search up how to make an active input be cancelled from the same key being pressed or something along those lines

[@GuiGFreitas]

Great video thanks!

[@MackawMcDickins]

If you made a level And imported a game type ex First Person Then It Will Create a separate folder for the IMC_Mappings controller. I couldn't get my pause menu to load and if you have the same issue of not getting it to work recheck the coding/Blueprint's and also go to all of the input folders and add p as a map like he did as I had another one with the same issue but is was because i had imported a First Person Game Mode to a level I was making and it v=created a different IMC_Mapping Controller that was leaving one of them for lyra starter game to be unused as that was my starting project so look for all other IMC_Mapping blueprints and re-bind Your pause menu button and The IA_Pause Or Whatever you called yours and use the inherit action settings option on the mapping and try the different IMC_Mapping Blueprints and it should work when you find the one the game is using actively depending on the gamemode or starting project. Hope it Helps (=

[@thefrogoligist3076]

Thank you so much. I have been working on this for hours.

[@ImLostHelpMe]

Where do you add the bp at 3:08 if you don't have a character. (I'm making a music game where there is no character), thanks

[@UnrealUniversity]

You must have something that the player is using to play the game, you should add it there

[@Enderking394]

Can I do this withou ia because I’m using an old version and it doesn’t have ia

[@zacktnt2361]

do yk how to stop the audio and play it again on the pause menu?

[@jordanheraud7661]

In TopDawn Sample, I have to double click after resuming game to give order to the caracter, why? The "Get Player Controller" is well connected to the "set input mode game only".

[@brickwalledits1146]

can someone please help me, i cant find the IA_Pause function :(

[@LAGsupreme]

You need to make it first

[@brickwalledits1146]

@LAGsupreme yeah thanks, I figured it out a while ago 😄

[@LucasHenrique-bd8xv]

Thanks again

[@yokimoro]

Greetings! I have such a question, repeating everything that is in this lesson, I came across the fact that when I return from a pause, all control disappears completely. Can you tell me a fix?

[@kursatcakr3580]

hi, thanks for the great explanation. i have a problem. i have a crosshair widget in the firstpersonmap. how can i hide/show the cross haar widget with the pause menu actions? i can show but couldnt find how to hide :)

[@TheBlackGamerPT]

Simply grab a reference to the crosshair widget, drag from the reference and search Set Visibility, and set it to Collapsed. Then to unhide the crosshair do the same but select Not Hit-testable in the Set Visibility Node.

[@Shad0w_Playz]

this is helpfull, but it does not work for my third person map with the camera in the player head, help please?

[@droxam]

Resume button doesnt work i mean it makes me move but the menu is still on screen with the cursor i checked and i have the same blueprint as you

[@samuraischultz]

Yeah, same for me. What version are you using? I'm using 5.4 with Motion Matching Sample.

[@deaddiamond7554]

great tutorial thanks! Is there a way to resume game by just pressing 'P' again?

[@proton3748]

There is a flip flop node you can use it to toggle

[@shanliumoshi7904]

thanks

[@Lolange46]

Hey, I created this pause menu and also the Mainmenu from the Video before. The Mainmenu woks perfectly but the Pause menu won't open,, I did that all on an basic template with a character movement wich i also created myself. I did everything like in the video but added it into my own character. And it doesn't work unfortunatly. Is there anything I can do?

[@angelbel_x3]

make sure that when you hit the play button on the main menu that you set gamemode to input mode game only. i was having the same problem then this fixed it

[@ASEGamerX]

On Unreal 5.4 isnt´work after i start the level again. I mean if i start the game is everything working, when i open the pausemenu and go back to mainmenu and press on start game, then i can´t move the player. For that i setted my playercontroller on my thirdpersoncontroller in EventBeginPlay to set input mode game only. After that is worked well. But i don´t know if its a good solution. Can you help me with that?

[@DevMaximusGames]

that is a fine solution

[@AdamPsachosDannelley]

Quick question for this, most games allow you to repress the pause button to unpause, so in this case, pressing "p" once pauses, pressing "p" while in the pause menu would unpause the game.

[@ASEGamerX]

Yeah maybe you can do for that an variable and name it like "IsPaused (Bool)". Then you can do it with branch if / else and remove the view from parent if its true.

[@AdireetiVlogs]

plz add on on button like continue and new game option and save game option plz

[@AbachiriProduction]

hi bro i cant find show set show mouse

[@robertparaguassu8814]

same!

[@UnrealUniversity]

drag of the "get player controller node" then you should be able to see it

[@xxspecterxx]

When I press the start button the first time it loads me into the level, everything works, i can resume or go back to the main menu but when i click start a second time the level loads but i cant control the character/mousewont show up

[@UnrealUniversity]

make sure when you click the start button you running the nodes here blueprintue.com/blueprint/2ylqmimr/ we need to tell the player controller to be in game mode other wise the player wont be able to control them

[@EyLuca2]

Great Tutorial, but how do i prevent the character from moving when pressing 'Pause' while pressing 'W' for walk? The character moves in that direction what he presses when he press escape

[@UnrealUniversity]

The whole game should pause when click the pause button, so I am slighly confused

[@EyLuca2]

Ahh im sorry, it's an online horror game, so i didnt integrated the Pause thing. Sorry i didnt mention@@UnrealUniversity

[@GamesbyArtemise]

when i hit my key for pause it quits the game instead

[@oofmanoofguy4494]

i used this tutorial on how to make my teleport menu didn't quite work

[@Abysmio]

[@TyX25]

I tried this but it doesn't work, am i missing something, i have HUD for health and stamina in a 2d game using 5.3

[@UnrealUniversity]

what do you mean it does not work?

[@TyX25]

I hit the button I chose as the pause button, but it doesn't pause or go to the pause menu, I tried to record it, but KZbin deletes the response with the video

[@md.salmanahmed3903]

When I press return menu and start game agin then button not work. Plz help😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@UnrealUniversity]

[@rain8635]

the tutorial is so fast help

[@jacksmith-om8ju]

Make the video whole, dont add parts from different videos. That is not how a tutorial is done.

[@proton3748]

It had everything

[@iranazadi7]

The get player controller part is not working for me. This blueprint is not a player state

[@xprogrunds2836]

idk i implemented this to my project but when i start my game from my mainmenu and then proceed to leave when i come into my game level my pause menu works as intended but then i leave and rejoin my game level again i lose all my controls
