Ah yeah I tried the first method but my game was too far along for that.

I just checked MANOS again and yes i see its the Q&A method (for some reason i thought it wasnt). The weird thing is i cant make my Pause icon transparent like you have done. Ill have to give it another go.

Also, how did you get it to ask unpause and exit to menu?

edit: i was being a dumbass for both of those. got it working.

However when i click pause, i get a little symbol appear under the pause symbol.
