Can someone help me understand what I’m doing wrong? I have made a pause menu blueprint and have set it up so that on hitting escape it will open the menu, which it does. The problem I’m running into is I have also set it up so that it should close the menu on hitting escape, it how does not. [IMG…

This node [image] needs to be ‘set input mode game and UI’ [image]

In the details for this character, you need to check ‘tick when paused’ :wink: Also, maybe, the node that is now ‘input mode UI’ might need to be ‘input mode UI & game’. Try the checkbox first.

I checked this from the start still not closing the menu is there another spot to tick when paused [IMG_0552]

Did you try the UI & game node instead?

Yes could my PauseRef variable be messed up I set the type to object class and named it the same as my pause menu widget but could something still be wrong do I need to change something in details [IMG_0554]

Ok I missed this and have it properly referenced now but still doesn’t close out the menu on hitting escape again [image]

Hard to tell from the photos, but I’m guessing the pause menu is a widget? In the widget blueprint, on the functions tab there’s a little drop down I believe is says override by default. Go there and find on key down, from this event you can setup functionality to close the widget on key press
