Creating a pause menu

Development Character & Animation
1

Hello,
I am currently creating a game, using UE4,but i think it is wise to say in the very beginning i have very little to no experience using this program,so i’m sorry if i make newbie mistakes or ask stupid questions.
I am developing a lottery simulation game, and what i have set up right now is this: I removed the player controller and hid the character,so the player is a floating camera,and he needs to click the left mouse button to switch to the camera i set up around the map,and the same with three other cameras. which is good but not entirely what i want.
I don’t want the player to be able to float around the map freely before he clicks the left mouse button,so i want to force him to click the left mouse button,so what i had in mind is having like a small pause menu where to continue the game he needs to click the left mouse button,but the world doesn’t need to freeze,he just needs to see on his screen “Press the left mouse button”,to trick him into clicking it first.
If any of you have any other idea i would really appreciate it.
Thank you

Hello,
in content example you have a hud blueprint with a pause menu where can learn a lot about that and other hud uses.

Hello,

I also apologize for newbie question, and for my english…
I created my pause menu like the one of the content example, but there is one thing i don’t understand. In the example when the resume button is pressed there is 2 commands i can’t find myself in same type of HUD blueprint:

So i don’t know how to disable cursor, mouseover and click event.

I disabled the context sensitive but still can’t find them, they simply don’t exist.

Hello,
try the wire from the get player controller node with context sensitive on, they will appear in menu.

and btw a Tuttle can’t be a newbie, maybe a buttle but not a tuttle ^^
