So I am working on an RPG project, and decided to put the equipment system in the pause menu (hopefully for easier use in consoles).  
I have created this blueprint with a function to remove clicked object from inventory, and I put this in a UMG component. However, this doesn’t work when the game paused, but working after I unpause the game.

Here is the blueprint I’ve created.

I’m using the **Set Game Paused** boolean and Flipflop to switch the game between paused and unpaused state. Also, I’ve set the “Tick even when paused” enabled in the _CH\_MyCharacter1_ character, but no luck.

Anyone here can give solution so this event/function can work even when the game paused? Or is there another (less complicated) way to pause the game besides **Set Game Paused** node?
