Engine: Manage Systems - Direct-nav In-game Menus - but with code

Psychonaut

Hey everybody,
hey @ChrisIceBox,

I was wondering, how can I do the same thing with code that "Engine: Manage Systems - Direct-nav In-game Menus" does? And what is the corresponding setting in the AC Game Editor?

Thank you!

ChrisIceBox

There's no Editor option for it, as it's a runtime property. You can set it through code with:

AC.KickStarter.playerInput.CanKeyboardControlMenusDuringGameplay = true;

Thank you Chris! Is it necessary to set this to true if I want to be able to control menus with a gamepad? Sorry but I can't find a lot about this in the manual.

During gameplay, yes - it's a runtime property that's normally set using Actions, i.e. in the Menu's "ActionList when turn on" asset.
