Disabling vInput so Pause menu can take Events

[bender]

I am trying to create/integrate a Pause Menu from which you can have many options to choose from.  vInput captures all input unless you directly access your input through Input.GetKey(blah).  This makes it fine for a simple "Pause the Game".

But how do I handle a menu system from which I want to accept mouse clicks?

Thanks

Why don't you lock all the player input when the menu is open?

If I lock all the input I won't be able to receive events on my Pause menu.

I would like my Pause menu to have options to Save, Modify Settings, Quit, etc.

I can hit Escape and bring up the menu but can't have any interaction with it.

I would be very happy to know if you did find a way to do what you wanted; I'm at the same point since months, tried many ways, free and paid assets : nothing work

I would like the same information.

Guys, it's really not that hard... Access the ThirdPersonInput from your Menu script and once you open the Menu > tpInput.SetLockAllInput(true)

Yeah, blocking the character is easy. Making the UI respond to buttons entries is really hard as Cursor is unabled and can't properly be activated.
I managed to make UI respond but cursor is still missing. I'm using keyboard to switch buttons and it's not fluid.

You just need to unlock the cursor and show it as you press the button to open your custom menu. 
The methods are: 

tpInput.ShowCursor(true)
tpInput.LockCursor(false)

I tried all these solutions but every time I am in the pause screen and mouse click a button, the cursor disappears and the function does not run. Just the pause screen shows with no cursor. Someone please help! Thanks.

Look at the game characters Inventory section in the Invector shooter&melee demos. Check out the Inventory Events on how to open, interact and close the Inventory. It acts similar to using Pause.

Set it to revert back to normal after pause is closed as well.

ShowCursor

LockCursor

lock camera

lock player input

timescale?

I add this to my Pause Game Event when I hit escape " tick" and when I close Pause I disable "no tick"

--for your Pause Open

() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vshootermelleInput Showcursor then tick the box
() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vshootermelleInput Lockcursor then tick the box

--for your Pause Closed

() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vshootermelleInput Showcursor then Do Not tick the box
() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vshootermelleInput Lockcursor then Do Not tick the box

Awesome! Thank you so much!

So for newbees like me add simple UnityEvent (watch 3min video) and follow above:



using UnityEngine.Events;

public UnityEvent PauseEvents;
public UnityEvent UnPauseEvents;

PauseEvents.Invoke();
UnPauseEvents.Invoke();

Drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Open Menu or whatever you onclick or Event system that you want the mouse to work. When you close the Menu or Ui then Do not tick the box so you can play the game without the mouse on screen.

() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vThirdPersonInput Showcursor then tick the box
() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vThirdPersonInput Lockcursor then tick the box

--for your Pause Closed

() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vThirdPersonInput Showcursor then Do Not tick the box

() drag the vBasicController Prefab into the Runtime box and to the right choose vThirdPersonInput Lockcursor then Do Not tick the box

Below is an image of my Main Menu Pause system. You will see how I use the vBasicController or mellee or shooter to enable or disable showcursor or lock cursor.  Note the Tick Boxes act as On or Off.
