Hey there i have problem with my Main Menu Script i followed a tuorial but i cant press ESCAPE button to open my pausemenu. Nothing happens, if i hardcode | Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) the escape menu works. What is my Problem?

My Input Manager

using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static InputManager instance;

    private PlayerInput _playerInput;

    public bool MenuOpenCloseInput {  get; private set; }

    private InputAction _menuOpenCloseAction;

    private void Awake()
    {
        if (instance == null)
        {
            instance = this;
        }

        _playerInput = GetComponent<PlayerInput>();
        _menuOpenCloseAction = _playerInput.actions["MenuOpenClose"];
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        MenuOpenCloseInput = _menuOpenCloseAction.WasPressedThisFrame();
    }
}```

This is my MenuManger

public class MenuManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private GameObject _mainMenuCanvasGO;

    public static MenuManager instance;

    private bool isPaused;

    private void Start()
    {
        _mainMenuCanvasGO.SetActive(false);
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (InputManager.instance.MenuOpenCloseInput /*|| Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)*/)
        {
            Pause();
            print("Pause");
        }
    }

    #region Pause/Unpause Functions

    private void Pause()
    {
        isPaused = true;
        Time.timeScale = 0f;

        OpenMainMenu();
    }

    public void Unpause()
    {
        isPaused = false;
        Time.timeScale = 1f;

        CloseAllMenus();
    }

    #endregion

    #region Canvas Activations

    private void OpenMainMenu()
    {
        _mainMenuCanvasGO.SetActive(true);
    }
    private void CloseAllMenus()
    {
        _mainMenuCanvasGO.SetActive(false);
    }
    #endregion
}```

I could be wrong but are you trying to use both input systems at once? input.getkey is the old system but that actionmap is for the new system. Am I mistaken?

[rustic kraken]

Yeah i switched to both because i have a few lines of old code for something else (not the problem ) so i use Both for active input handling

The get keydown is only harcoded beacuse i cant get it open with the new one. so i tried the getkeydown but with the old one it works

[broken swan]

so your escape wont work with the menu, is that line supposed to be keyed out?

[rustic kraken]

Exactly

[broken swan]

why is menu open close in the player actions and not the UI? im not really sure whats wrong exactly, youre saying the new input system wont let you open the menu?

[rustic kraken]

The UI and Player was the something i wanted to split so i have clear input system

but the tutorial used only one input map

so i sticked to palyer like him in the tutorial. in the future i want to split it.

but for now that is the way i want to go

I just want Escape to work

if i figure out how i can use input the problem would be solved

[broken swan]

which workflow did you choose? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.5/manual/Workflows.html im not an expert on them, im only good at the action asset and player input component version

Or i guess i should say the tutorial you followed chose
