why cant i see mouse on menu level?

when the game loads, its a menu screen with a start button. I had it so that when you die it takes you to the menu level. However, when you go there post death you cant move your mouse. Any idea why not? thanks

Hello, welcome @DiscordMoment!

In order for your cursor to show up, you will need to get a reference to your Player Controller and pull the Show Mouse Cursor variable off of it and mark it as True. This is usually accompanied with Set Input Mode UI Only to lock input to the UI.

Example BP from a HUD class, which stores the Player Controller as Player Owner:

If you have a specific Player Controller for your Main Menu level, you could also just go into the Player Controller, go to Class Defaults, and mark Show Mouse Cursor as True by default:
