Why when clicking on escape key back to main menu the main menu is not working ?

1 down vote favorite


I have two scenes. Main Menu and the main scene. The game start when only the main menu is loading.

When I click on the New Game button it's loading the main scene and removing the main menu scene.

If I click now on the Escape key it will remove the main scene and load back the main menu scene but this time I can't click on any of the buttons in the main menu.

I'm not sure if this is the right way to switch between the scenes but it's not working good.

On the Newgame button I created and attached a new script. And then in the OnClick event of the button I'm calling the method LoadByIndex:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
6.  
7. public class LoadSceneOnClick : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.    public void LoadByIndex(int sceneIndex)
10.    {
11.        SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneIndex);
12.    }
13. }
14.  

On the main scene I added a empty gameobject and attached to it another script:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class BackToMainMenu : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.    public int sceneIndex;
9.  
10.    // Update is called once per frame
11.    void Update ()
12.    {
13.        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
14.        {
15.            UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneIndex);
16.        }
17.    }
18. }
19.  

When the game start in the main menu when clicking on New Game button it's loading index 1 the main scene and removing the main menu.

When clicking on escape key it's loading index 0 and removing the main scene. But then the main menu is not working.

 

I don't think your problem has to do with how you are loading the scene. What does "but this time I can't click on any of the buttons in the main menu" specifically mean? Do you not see the buttons? Can you click on them but they just don't do anything?

Do you have any console errors?
Do you have the ESC key set to do something in your main menu scene?

 

However you are locking the cursor, I'd just undo it either right before opening the menu scene, or put unlocking the cursor into a Start method on some script in the menu scene. There's several settings related to locking the cursor, and you haven't posted any code related to how you are doing it, so I can't say exactly what code to use to undo it.

 

Ok working now. I just added new script to the main menu on empty gameobject that just bring back the mouse cursour.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Cursor.visible = true;
3. Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
4.  

Now it's working great. Thanks.

 

I had this same issue! Thank you!!!!

 

I had the same issue as well. Unlock your cursor in the main menu scene!

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start() {
2.   Cursor.visible = true;
3.   Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
4. }

This fixed everything
