How do the heck do I make a pause menu?

I've been able to make the menu pop up, but the buttons don't work, I've been trying a bunch of stuff, checked with ChatGPT, etc., nothing. I tried debugging the button sprite to see if it's responding when the mouse is clicked. It isn't. Weirdly, there's no obstruction, the collisions are well defined, it's on the correct layer, I have no idea what it could be!

I have this code, and it doesn't work, NOTHING!

There's not enough information. Can you share your project file?

Check that the event sheet is assigned to the layout, or included in the layout's sheet.

Check that the layer interactivity is enabled in layer properties.

You need to share the event where you actually pause the game for this to make sense. What is 'Pause' ? this is the pause menu or the pause button ?

Well, the pause is the menu itself.

Also, ohh. I needed to turned interactivity off accidentally. It makes sense now.

Sorry for wasting your time.
