Back Button disappearing after in Game menu is pressed
Apologies in advance if this is something really simple! I am new to AC, so have been following a bunch of different tutorials. One of those was to create a back button to exit out of close ups. But during testing, I noticed that if I select the In Game Menu and choose Resume, my back button disappears, leaving my player with no way out of the close up.
What have I missed?
Howdy, Stranger!

If you're referring to the text tutorials on the main website - be aware that they were recently updated.
What's the Appear type set to on the Menu that has the close-up Button? If it's set to Manual, then you'll need to command AC to turn it on/off every time you want it to do so - it won't do anything automatically.
Instead, set it to During Gameplay, which is the same as the "InGame" menu.
Then, instead of turning the menu on and off - lock and unlock it. This can be done with the same Menu: Change state Action.
When a menu is locked, it won't turn on even if its Appear type condition is met. You can lock it by default in the Menu's properties, and then unlock it when you want to show it. It will turn off automatically when you pause the game - and turn back on when you unpause it, provided it's still unlocked.
You absolute star. That worked like a charm.
