It's mind blowing how Brackeys videos stay relevant and work so well 6 YEARS LATER. Making games is a daunting task but this content has made the learning curve so much smoother! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge with the indie game dev community. 🙏🙏🙏
tu eres tonto oque
Who dislikes these videos? They're bloody free lessons.
Sure. I like the all free lessons on youtube, especially with crappy content and retarded speaker, even if lesson is a trash - i like it, because i'm freebie!
Ouuuu, I can sense sarcasm here. No hate whatsoever, but, it takes a lot of effort to create/develop something. We just need to keep that in mind before commenting. Support or Ignore.
Russian man
take me by the hand
lead me to the land
with words I don't understand
Russian man you're honestly stupid if you think these are bad lessons. Maybe learn how to code so you actually know what you're doing instead of copying his code letter for letter word for word and crying when you mess it up.
My brain hurts when spelling errors cause errors in code, but the real error is believing that the teacher screwed up and gave you a bad lesson.
That sad feeling when you discover Brackey and his videos after he has already left TH-cam... I feel like I just missed a legend passing by. God damn
@McTaterB same tho ;-;
He's back!!!
If your game gets stuck when you reload it from the menu, Do this - When you go to load the menu, in the LoadMenu function, Make sure to include the Resume function, or your game will load in a paused state. As a matter of fact, wherever you are getting this problem, just call the resume function before transitioning to the next level. Hope I helped you!
You're a LEGEND Wumpus! Thoss Discord devs taught you well!
save scene with your menu panel as inactive and it will work as in the video
Thank you I was looking for a comment giving an explanation to this issue haha
can someone explane me better i coudnt find that button
@@ItssVenom it says it in the video 😐
These are by far the best tutorials anywhere. Tried to make a pause menu on my own, got stuck, came here and everything is just simple and crystal clear. Thank you so much!
Once again, years on, these tutorials remain a staple of my learning. Brackeys, I hope you're all having a great future whatever you're doing.
Mine is just not working I dont get the game object?
These lessons are so clear, well edited and to the point is unbelievable. Sometimes i find myself binge watching tutorials that i dont need just because they are so entertaining
How do I fix error cs0106?
Man, you deserve way more subscribers.
This is legit hard-earned, good quality, perfect explanation pace, learning content.

@@Plazmin hey stop it text mesh better
~This post was made by the TMP gang
@@joevent Imagine having to import it.
~this post is by latest unity with inbuilt TMP gang
i use custom fonts and cant use TMP with them
Why was this the hardest part in making my game xD
Also thanks for the freaking free lessons, tbh I've learned more from YOU than the lessons my parents paid for, that's freaking cool, like you! I might donate when I have money to get you a cup of coffee, thanks!
i know menus are so hard!
This is a good tutorial. It's a fairly basic concept, but you expand on it nicely, and your pacing is perfect. I like how you fly through it in the beginning. Sometimes tutorials go a little too slow. We have ability to pause and rewind video, folks! Saved this one to my bookmarks for later when I decide to add pause menu to my game.
The best thing about his videos are , they are to the point. He does not waste any time and has all of his videos edited perfectly. Great Job.
Here are some tips while using unity 2021+
1. Can't press the button?
Please make sure you also add the "EventSystem" Object in your new scene. (just copy it from your old scene)
2. SetActive(false) makes object never called again?
Try to use: pauseMenuUI.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0, 0, 0); instead,
then SetActive(true) is: pauseMenuUI.transform.localScale = new Vector3(1, 1, 1);
In the start then add: pauseMenuUI.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
Remember to active PauseMenu before you start the game.
3. mouse locked?
Add in Ruseum:
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
Add in Pause:
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
Hopefully it can help you :)
Oh my gosh thank you! I am working on a project for college and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why the buttons couldn't be clicked and were not changing shade when hovered over or clicked. Really appreciate it that fixed my problem!
ty bro
Thank you so much Brackeys, that helped a lot as usual!
Brackeys, you have incredible timing! A couple of days ago i was working on a pause menu in a project i am working on. Then a couple days later i see this :) Great video, it was very informative!
Hey man just want to say you have some great tutorial videos and you have really helped me out a lot this year. I'm new to unity and I'm studying video game design at CSU Chico and your tutorial videos have helped me significantly! Both for class and for learning overall. Thank you so much! I have subscribed and liked all of the tutorial videos I've watched from you. thank you so much, I know these videos are two years old an I'm barely watching them but they have been very helpful non the less! So, once again, thank you and I am grateful there are people like you in this world willing to share their knowledge and help others like me.
I am watching this at 1:00 AM, slowly losing my sanity, but thanks tho

best unity tutorials i have seen. Beginner friendly, and cover like basically everything you need to make a really good game
Your tutorials are really awesome and easy to understand ! Keep it up ! You encourage alot.
I don't know why Brackey didn't run into this problem too, but in order to not start the game paused you do:
void Start () {
PausePanel.SetActive(false);
}

for me PausePanel does not exist in the current context. Do I rename it to whatever my pause menu is called?
Or you can disable the PauseMenu in the inspector maybe ?

@@bobsagget823 I just did this and it works fine. Not sure why you are running into errors but mine is fine.
wow 3 years later and your tutorials are still so helpful!
Cheers mate! You showed me how to much much better keep track of my UI buttons and add the proper functionality to them. Have spent about 8 hours so far over 2 weeks trying to get the UI to be decent and this solved all my problems in about 30 mins. Many thanks!
Thank you so much! I'm in 2020 participating in the game jam you host and your tutorials are saving me again and again every time I make mistakes/want to add stuff I don't know how
bruh me too
One slight issue you might encounter as I did, is that if you go from your pause menu to the main menu and then launch your game, if you press escape it will do nothing the first time because the game is still considered "GameIsPaused = true" so add "GameIsPaused = false;" to the beginning of LoadMenu()
I know you commented this a year ago but thanks so much for the helpful tip.
@@torn2668 Glad it was helpful "in the future" :)
🏮
you could also consider creating an awake method where you set both the time scale back to 1, and the isPaused boolean back to false, so when you're loading a new scene it will automatically adjust it, so you don't have to change the functionality of your methods.
@@junglejim6674 Thanks. What the guy above said didn't work, but your solution did. Now my game is not paused when I press play from main menu.
Your tutorials are simply the best. They always work; I am never confused; you explain very clearly. Me am happy.
Ok, you are now my favourite TH-camr, EVERY. SINGLE. VIDEO, on this messed up my game with so many errors and now you fixed it, thank you so much
Thanks for everything you have done man. You're really helping me through college and its sad to see you leave. just know you will always be in our hearts.

Looking forward to the video with the story that started all !!! Kudos, great channel !

You can make a Quit button that functions in the editor to, by making it end play mode.
public void Quit()
{
#if UNITY_EDITOR
UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
#else
Application.Quit();
#endif
}
I had a little issue with Unity 2017 ended up using this the code below. Hope this helps someone.
public void QuitGame(){
Debug.Log ("You have quit the game");
if (UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying == true) {
UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
} else {
Application.Quit ();
}
}

Verry good tutorial for begginers. Nice work ;)
I just connect to youtube to check for a video in pause menu and start menu thanks so much for those and all the other tutorial video. So much quality 1000 time thank you Brackeys!
Thanks for these videos, you are always to the point and very easy to follow! Subscribed
Лучший канал с уроками по Unity! Спасибо большое!
Can you make a tutorial about custom input manager with ability to bind keys runtime, and with support for multiple local players?
Hey Brackeys, really enjoy these UI Videos since I have to do many of them for my kind of games and I wanted to ask if you could make some tutorial on how to make a UI responsive for different screen sizes and more specifically Aspect Ratios. Most resources I find and people I ask are not as good as they could be. Much love to you and always happy to learn from you
Man you're the BOSS! :D Thanks to you my uni project that is audio focused will be much much more than just basic '4 objects' level :)
I was torn on the whole animation part, as setting the time scale to 0 would technically also limit animation, but to see there's a drop down that sets the animations time to "unscaled" is a useful piece of knowledge
Yes, you said you were I.
How do you do this?
hi can you make a video for unity UI about LOAD / SAVE saving music and player positions in the game ? thanks
up
Saving all the game data such as the score. money system, players position, inventory
Pausing music using IEnumerations is such a pain in ass. Looking for a way to do it...
+DJ Syclonus Try using PlayerPrefs(saves stuff in registry(okly secure and simple to use)) or text files(saves stuff in simple txt files(really hackable and super easy to use)) or custome binary files(saves stuff in custom binary complex files(unhackable and really hard to set up but easy to use afterwords)). You can search for one or all of those options on the internet to see how they work and how to setup and use them.
Why is everyone here so narrow, everyone's asking for something but i doubt they even searched for it, if they did. They wouldn't be asking so desperately, here are some links, use them if you want. And if you don't, it's on you, since no one cares.

Thank you for the video! I am working on a 2D space shooter and I didn't really have to change anything to get this to work.
awesome vid! very helpful, and is explained neatly, good job man
Was stuck wondering this for a bit cuz im a newb but TIP if your pause UI is there at the start of your game dont forget to disable your pausemenu within unity inspector. thats why we have the getkeydown for esc, to re-enable it....I feel dumb lol
First, thanks for your help. Second...
I tried to use this method with the "Cancel" Axis,
but its somehow connected with time.DeltaTime...
That means, i cant unpause it.
I wish that one day you will comeback with more tutorials. You are the GOAT!
Thank you for this tutorial! Very useful and looks great too!
This was very helpful but when I exported the game as a build, the pause menu didn't work. Do you have any idea what might've caused that? Also, the pause menu worked perfectly in Unity
Edit: Ok I think I found the problem, I was using FixedUpdate instead of Update (idk why I must've gotten confused with another tutorial)
If u also have the "2D Shooting in Unity (Tutorial)" from Brackeys in ur game just change the "void Start()" method in the "Bullets" script to this:
void Start()
{
rb.velocity = transform.right * speed;
if (PauseMenu.GameIsPaused)
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
Now u don't stack up ur bullets if clicking in the pause menu.
I was confused with how to make my game over screen and this helped soooo much thank u brackeys
Still the only Unity tutorial channel I ever manage to properly learn stuff from.
for the Resume() function use this in the beginning:
Cursor.visible = false;
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
for the Pause() function use this in the end:
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
Cursor.visible = true;
your welcome ;)
UR A GOAT TYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
You beautiful man. Saved me so much frustration.
@@muscatalexj ofc ur welcome :)
@@Demon.Immortalis Thank you!
I used it to also make a ZA WARUDO sound effect when clicking on pause just for fun
That's awesome.

Thanks. What more can I ask for? This is great!! Thanks, Brackeys!
Notice that if you stop time with Time.timeScale = 0f, it doesn't run back if you reload scene so if you are creating a button for restart then make sure to run the time in Start() by using Time.timeScale = 1f
Thanks

have you figured it out how to fix it ?
Hi! Take a look if you have a script that blocks the mouse, this caused my button not to work or the highlight to appear!

Pls make a video about RectTransform management (how to create game UI for 'any' resolution)
+1 to this. I sort of understand how the UI anchors and scaling modes work, but I still get confused about how I should be using them.
Can anyone help me? I'm making a game with mouse movements. But when I click the button it doesn't work. It just sets it to stay in the game again. How do I fix this?
I'm having the same problem. did you ever find a solution.
Willydd123456 u could fix it by changing the mouse clicking to a another keyword for pausing
I know. I already fixed it. You just gotta make it dissapear when back in game and reappear when paused.

Dude damn you for doing all these helpful tutorials
For those that is having problem with uniteractable button
Make sure your Canvas habe Graphic Raycaster to the setting is default so you don't need to edit it at all
you need to make sure that you give the scene a EventSystem
-RightClick in your project where you usually add text/button
-Then go to UI, EventSystem will be at the bottom of it
thank you for saving me a lot of frustration
Thank you so much !
Thanks a LOT!! you helped me save my semester
Since the flag is a static boolean, you'll need to set it to false when you load the menu. Otherwise, when you load the menu and re-load the game, you won't be able to bring up the pause menu.
save me
Nah not for me atleast, maybe its a bug on your side

Why doesn't the menu work anymore when you go to a new scene? I've even tried making a prefab of the canvas and I can't seem to figure out why it isn't working
Turns out, every scene needs an event system, which is required for events such as onClick(which is what the button uses)
So what i did was placed the event system inside the canvas as a child object.

These videos are pure gold. I've made a game called Jumpy Cube.
If anyone is having trouble with the pause menu, and can not re-enable the menu one you resume, try moving the script to a different GameObject. I believe that if a GameObject is disabled, the scripts do not run, so if you put the script on the pause menu while it is disabled it will not call the function.
This saved me

@@et9296 Did you set game paused = true / false for each of the pause/resume functions?

thank you these are great videos
im learning a lot
For anyone having an issue with your player not moving and overall your game not moving when you load back to your game after quitting once before (loading the same scene twice):
In the LoadMenu() method, before loading the menu scene, set the time scale back to 1f using Time.timeScale = 1f;
Otherwise, when you load back in, the timeScale remains 0f and nothing works until pausing and unpausing, which wouldn't be good.
Edit:
Also set the GameIsPaused variable to false before loading the menu scene, that way you don't have to double-tap escape when you go back in because the game thinks it is paused.
thanks it helped a lot
Brackeys: makes a start and pause menu tutorial free
Other people: Pay $500 to learn to make a start menu
not really..
Exaggeration in order to make a point to make something funnier
your logo has my logo in it
There's other free pause tutorials, and better (not all though). Also, notice how many people have problems with the code and setup? It appears to work in the video but does not work with out a few fixes and modifications, so that's why some people pay for better info... "there's a reason why it's free."
