I must be doing something wrong here

thanks for stopping by,
im a noob so im not sure what i am doing wrong.

i have a main menu screen and widget, it works fine and loads the level when the button is pressed
i have a pause function and widget with buttons that unpause, quit, and take you back to main menu, these all work fine…

my problem is from the pause option, if i go back to main menu and then load the first level back up, the player character is no longer responsive.

its probably a simple bug but i cant figure out where to find it.

any ideas or insight would be appreciated.

thanks

after you set the game un-paused in the widget graph, do you give control back to the player? [set input mode game only] hooked up to their controller. When you turn the menu on, you should be taking control away from them. So you have to give it back.
