Tip: if Esc just quits the game without showing up pause menu, go to Editor Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Find "Play World" and change key of "Stop Simulation" from Esc to something else
If you guys have an "option menu" that you are linking with this tutorial, you might encounter a bug where, when you access your options menus and use "escape" to go back, you'll end up having your option menu still visible, but also ba able control your game ! And if you do escape again, you'll have your pause menu on top of your option menu, and it goes on and on and on. To fix this bug, at 8:29, change the "Set Input Mode Game And Ui" by "Set Input Mode UI Only" and plug-in the "Get Player Controller" and the "Pause Menu Widget" at the same place ! Now, this bug won't happen ever again ! :) Thanks for the tutorial Gorka, they are amazing, keep going bro !
Great tutorial! Just a small tip for those who wants to use the pause menu for more than one character. Instead of Casting from the pause menu to a specific character at the end just set ispausedmenuopen? in the completed of your Input Action on the character blueprint and voila!
This was great, thank you. More detailed and better interactions than a previous one I used. Escape to go in and out of Pause with some proper mouse/player controller handling was great, and setting the pause variable on the character was good to know too, to keep things up to date correctly
@user-nw5le2vu4r " if Esc just quits the game without showing up pause menu, go to Editor Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Find "Play World" and change key of "Stop Simulation" from Esc to something else"
I reccomend setting the pause menu button to escape as well as tab or another key! When testing pause menu animations and functionality it's really useful being able to open/close the menu without closing the debug session
thanks for the great tutorial! I wish you slowed down a bit though as it was hard to follow at some points. I missed some steps at first which then made the game not resume properly. got it right on my second watch tho :)
If you're on 5.3 or presumably later, make sure you tick the check box at the top of the details panel for your buttons that says "Is Variable," otherwise you won't be able to add the OnClick events to them.
@@Hasanco_Reiz From another comment: "if Esc just quits the game without showing up pause menu, go to Editor Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Find "Play World" and change key of "Stop Simulation" from Esc to something else"
What if I have bg music playing? It is kinda weird if something is happening, then I press ESC button - everything stops but the soundtrack is still playing
What if there was no input mapping in the contents? I created the input mapping and the action, but don't know where to plug it in.. Also the resume additional actions at the end doesn't do anything in my case - no resume on any other button and when paused, esc will not unpause it..
I ran into a problem: when I press escape, the pause menu opens, but after that it ignores the escape key and any other keys. However, if you click on the continue button, then everything is fine. How can I make the widget not ignore keyboard input?
well right now this pause menu doesnt require any saving as there are only 3 buttons that produce a simple task. But if you are refering to the options menu I could do so!
I was working on a menu for 'buying items' and when i close the menu with my close button (which is close widget) i cant freely look around anymore, I have to hold right click to look around. Is there any fix?
no something's off here, i even changed the maping to T key and still wont bring out the pause menu ( i did everything as you did except, i had to create a new maping and IA cause on 5.1 version that i use i cant see that folder also i dont have third person thing as i use intermediate battle system that i bought template as the base for my game all other tutorials work perfect like basic pickup inventory and options menu but this pause menu just wont work i discarded the advance input and use just key press does this like in other tutorials and works perfectly maybe this advance input is not or 5.1 version or i just dont know how to adapt it yet but it doesnt matter ! important is that it works thank you !!!! ) now to figure out how to link options menu to the pause menu haha and is set
Muchas gracias por los tutoriales. Son super útiles, me los estoy mirando todos porque quiero empezar a desarrollar un proyecto para aprender cosillas de Unreal. MIL GRACIAS. Thank you very much for the tutorials. They are super useful, I'm looking at them all because I want to start developing a project to learn things about Unreal. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Dude, how many Red Bulls did you have before you recorded this? 🙂 Content is spot on, However, I'm having to pause and rewind a lot to absorb it. The logic and flow makes total sense. Unless you know every single node in the library, how do you know which node(s) to grab (for us non-programmers), besides experience? Thx for the tutorial! U know your shit!
Hahahha thank you! yeah I will try to slow down then in more beginner friendy tutorials. Normally we all tend to use the same nodes, as it is the exact logic that we ned most of the time. It is only in a more advanced level when I start using nodes that are more "mysterious"
When creating the input action IA_PauseGame, then make sure you have a trigger set to "Pressed" for example, otherwise the pause menu open/closed will be triggered multiple times when you press it once.
Im stuck on finding the input folder. I plugged in the enhanced input and I got input when I right clicked, but I didn't get the folder. Without the input folder I dont have the input mapping context and cant put in the pause action. Does anyone know how to fix this?
when changing game mode back to "game only" choose "game and UI" instead. but be aware, im a new user and this method will make your mouse's "look around" feature be disabled after unpausing.
@beatwrecker7343 yea i figured it out a few months after I posted that. I was streaming and a guy helped me fix it! Thank you for the help someone else may need it with the comment!
Two questions. I used escape as well and when I pressed it to open the pause menu and then clicked resume to resume, it worked fine. When I accidentally pressed escape again as a force of habit, it exited the pause menu but then I couldn't get back to the pause menu. Also the curser is still showing on screen but I don't know how much of that is due to the actual game or due to the nature of me playing it in the editor rather than in a build. The game is also still not paused, its just that the pause widget popped up.
You can actually use the "Is game paused" function to check if the game is paused. You won't need to create your own variable for that, or what is the advantage of doing do?
i have a question if you're still answering comments! i used this menu system along with another simple menu from another tutorial (same method) to build my game's menu system and everything worked flawlessly and fluidly. however, now today, after importing a new character, everything works EXCEPT the pause menu does not remove the widget from my screen, upon resuming the game, when using this new character. both blueprints and animation blueprints are identical in terms of this action and its necessary variables, but it simply glitches and keeps the pause menu on screen when i choose "resume" even though gameplay does resume, including my mouse look around and movement, jumping, etc... im at an impass with this glitch
I don't know why, but when I make a new button in the Widget creator, there isn't an Event tab. I followed the tutorial completely, but in the video, it just seems like you have the Event tab by default. I'm very new to Unreal Engine, so any help would be much appreciated.
Would you know how I can pause the player controls like in a multiplayer game? I want the model to remain stationary with the idle animation playing, but the player cannot make inputs obviously while the menu widget is open. Thank you! Great vid!
Hello. Thanks for the tutorial. I’m having this issue where I created my all of my UI elements in Illustrator because the size of everything is important to me. However when I import the assets into my widget, and test play, the assets appear bigger than they should. How do I fix this problem? Maybe it helps to know I have a 2560x1440 monitor and I created all of the assets in a 2560x1440px artboard in illustrator.
Im using this for my 1st person map but whrn j exit the menu my mouse is still there and im controlling my mouse and camera st the same time does anyone know how to fix that
been having an issue with this, have completed a few 4-5 hour tutorials lately without issue. ive followed this to the T and have triple checked everything. my issue i believe is im trying to add this to my project mid way through and have been applying what u show into my widget ive already got. after completing this my game pauses but does not show anything and will not unpause either. im playing in standalone preivew because my binding is escape. is there another way i have to do this where im already using my premade widget? have already tried making a pause only widget but no success either.
If i hold down escape, the pause screen flickers from opening and closing. How can i incorporate something that make it where the inputs have to have a delay before it opens and closes?
Problem - when we resume game with the "Resume" button instead of another Esc press, the "Is pause Menu Open" remains true, as well as the mouse cursor on the screen. To fix it I did the following: in the Pause Menu widget BP, from Remove From Parent I added "Cast to BP_ThirdPersonCharacter" with object as "Get Player Character", then from it I set IsPauseMenuOpen to false -> Set Input Mode Game Only -> Set Show Mouse Cursor to False (Target for the last two is Get Player Controller). And it seem to fix everything.
it worked perfectly for me, thank you very much. however i have the doubt why you added the code at the end (from Cast to BP_ThirdPersonCharacter), because without it the menu works perfect, please, could you explain it to me? thanks again.
yeah I added that in case the player closes the menu by the "Resume" button instead od hitting escape on their keyboard. By this I make the same process as in the ThirdPersonCharacter Blueprint by making sure the variables are synced
@@GorkaGames 5.0 I just realized I was on 5.1 and updated now, thank you though for making such great videos they are very helpful & just one suggestion is that you go a little fast too when going through the steps
Hi, I have had problems finding a unreal engine 5 tutorial where i can make a main menu with a, new game, and a load game system. can you please make a tutorial on how to make this. thank you.
I noticed at the end of the tutorial ( I hope I did everything right ) when I would press ESC the Pause Menu would pop up. However, when I would click Resume I would then have to press ESC two times to re-open the Pause Menu. I'm guessing that the game still thinks it's open even after clicking Resume. Everything works, but technically the Player Blueprint does not respect the Resume Button. Did I uhhh... do something wrong??
The only problem I ran in to is when I press the resume button the curser is still there and I need to press escape again to get removed I have been trying to fix it on my own but i cant find out what is the problem. If someone can help it would be appreciated
everything worked, but for some reason if I map the pause button to the "escape" button, as soon as I click escape the editor stop playing the game, so I have to remap the pause button to "Q"
My Cast To BP_FirstPersonCharacter doesn't work, it says this: "'BP First Person Character' does not inherit from 'Player Controller' (Cast To BP_FirstPersonCharacter would always fail)." How do I fix this?
You need to connect a "Get Player Character" instead of "Get Player Controller" to that cast as the referenced object. Those are two different things, and your Blueprint containing the variable you are looking to access and change is in your Player Character, not in a Player Controller
If you have an issue with open "pause menu" after clicking "Resume" button just in your "BP_thirdpersoncharacter" remove "IsPaused" in branch condition and instead add function "is game paused".
Just in case you haven't found the answer yet, you can go the IMC_Dafault (or the input controller you are using). Click the twistie next to the IA_Pause that you created and this opens up the input option you created when following the tutorial, with the keyboard Esc key or other key you set. Click the + button to the right (Next to the rubbish bin symbol) and this allows you to set another input including to the Gamepad. The drop down arrow that appears lets you do this. I used the left shoulder button on the controller.
@@oldweststories I got that working, but I am asking if there was a way to use the menu with a gamepad. I can open and close it but you can browse the menu with the gamepad
I've got the problem, when I press ESC the menu opens and closes at a super fast rate. So it is not guranteed that it open if I want to press one time Someone got an idea what I made wrong ? *EDIT:* Found it after rewatching some parts again and again. At creating the IA it was set to triggered. Didn't see the little Icon, so the started option was hidden
I got the code to work only when I "package" the the project. When I hit the "PLAY" (green arrow) within the UE editor, the menu does not display. It did in your tutorial. Not sure why.. I'm running UE 5.1 if that makes any difference.
That's because that's the button to exit the run mode directly in the viewport, so the widget will not display if the game is no longer running. If you select the run mode as a standalone game for example, it will open in a new window and the escape no longer closes de game, so you'll be able to use it to load the menu, much like the packaged game. Gorka probably changed his key bindings so that escape doesn't stop the game running in the viewport. I hope that answered

Tip: if Esc just quits the game without showing up pause menu, go to Editor Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Find "Play World" and change key of "Stop Simulation" from Esc to something else
That saved me some hours of research, thank you bro !!
Good tip!
Or use "P" instead of "Esc" as the PauseGame mapping in the Input Mapping Context. And use P to pause.
Saver!

Click the + button to the right (Next to the rubbish bin symbol) and this allows you to set another input including to the Gamepad. The drop down arrow that appears lets you do this. I used the left shoulder button on the controller.
@@oldweststories I got that working, but I am asking if there was a way to use the menu with a gamepad. I can open and close it but you can browse the menu with the gamepad
I have an issue where you have to press escape really quickly because if you dont then it will open the pause menu really fast on and off
Con esto estaba anoche, hoy intentaré crear el sistema de navegación con teclas/pad, acepto pistas y consejos, que no he visto forma simple de hacerlo
When I hit my escape key it just exits out of gameplay mode. I must be missing something simple...
The pause menu works great in standalone mode, but not in transport mode. How to fix for use in transport mode?
I've got the problem, when I press ESC
the menu opens and closes at a super fast rate.
So it is not guranteed that it open if I want to press one time
Someone got an idea what I made wrong ?
*EDIT:* Found it after rewatching some parts again and again.
At creating the IA it was set to triggered.
Didn't see the little Icon, so the started option was hidden
I cannot find the BP_PlayerCharacter in the Widget BP, what am I doing wrong?
Never fucking mind, I hate Unreal 5! Forgot that my character BP name is without BP_* XD
I got the code to work only when I "package" the the project. When I hit the "PLAY" (green arrow) within the UE editor, the menu does not display.
It did in your tutorial. Not sure why.. I'm running UE 5.1 if that makes any difference.
That's because that's the button to exit the run mode directly in the viewport, so the widget will not display if the game is no longer running. If you select the run mode as a standalone game for example, it will open in a new window and the escape no longer closes de game, so you'll be able to use it to load the menu, much like the packaged game. Gorka probably changed his key bindings so that escape doesn't stop the game running in the viewport. I hope that answered
Hm. I do not have the Input folder, nor the Input menu when I right click. Is this something I need to import?
Nevermind, I enabled the Enhanced Input :)
bro is speedrunning the tutorial 😭
I'm confused. I change the "ESC" button to "P" as pause game but neither the "P" button or others work.
Why dont use flip flop funciton ?
