This is my main menu, it is very small

[toxic swallow]

How have you got this set up?

[late needle]

In a new scene

[toxic swallow]

Check your canvas component for it's scaling mode.

What does it say here

[toxic swallow]

Great

so for your background image, what is the anchor settings?

This thing up here

[late needle]

Stretch - stretch

[toxic swallow]

that should do it

if you hold alt and shift and click on the bottom right, what happens?

[late needle]

It just went smaller

[toxic swallow]

Are you looking at the scene view or the game view?

[late needle]

Game view

[toxic swallow]

Is it not filling the game view?

What's the canvas render mode?

[late needle]

Screen space - Overlay

[toxic swallow]

That's all correct, is the background image still not filling the screen?

[late needle]

Nope :/

[toxic swallow]

What does the background image look like in your assets folder?

[late needle]

I have set it to Sprite

[toxic swallow]

Try a different sprite and see if you get the same result.

[late needle]

What if I remove the source image from the background image?

The main menu is in a new scene

When I start the game, the menu fails to appear

[toxic swallow]

When you say 'start the game' do you mean 'enter play mode' or are you making a build?

[late needle]

Enter play mode

[toxic swallow]

But you can see the menu in the game view in edit mode?

[late needle]

Yes

[toxic swallow]

Are there any scripts in the scene?

[late needle]

Only 1

It is the main menu script

[toxic swallow]

Can you share it with me?

public class MainMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void PlayGame()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex + 1);
    }

    public void QuitGame()

    }
}

[toxic swallow]

This is fine, nothing here should make your menu disappear

Are the buttons hooked up to these methods?

[late needle]

Yes:

[toxic swallow]

This all looks correct. I'm not sure why you're having any issues. Can you tell me again what the problem is?

[late needle]

Yes, when I start my game from my actual game scene, the main menu scene should pop up but it does not

Unless I am meant to build it in the build settings

Or

There could be an issue with the camera

[toxic swallow]

Have you added the menu scene to your scene list in the build settings?

[late needle]

Yes

I made a new blank scene for the main menu

[toxic swallow]

Can you show me the scene list?

[toxic swallow]

That's showing the scenes in your project

You need to open the build settings

to add a scene to the scene list

[toxic swallow]

Great that looks good

open the main menu scene and enter play mode

[late needle]

It is being displayed like that and the button do not function

[toxic swallow]

Can you double check all the above canvas settings for this UI

because if you have a correctly anchored, scaled and positioned image you should't see any skybox

[late needle]

For some reason I am :/

My main menu is not stretch - stretch

My canvas is

[toxic swallow]

The canvas shouldn't have any editable anchor settings

[late needle]

Oh, yes it does not

My bad

I meant the background image

[toxic swallow]

Show me the settings for the background image

[toxic swallow]

try setting th escale to 1,1,1

you see where it's 0.2022

[late needle]

Alright

That does look better

[toxic swallow]

Ah great

does it fill the screen now?

[late needle]

Yup

However, the buttons do not work :/

[toxic swallow]

Show me the button setup?

[toxic swallow]

Looks ok at first sight

can you put some debugging in your PlayGame() method to see if it actually gets called?

[late needle]

Okay

Hm, it is not being called

Oh

Wrong script/script name

Nvm

Yeah, it does not work

[toxic swallow]

The method is never called?

[late needle]

Nope

[toxic swallow]

Does the button animate? Do you get that red color change from your button script?

[late needle]

No

[toxic swallow]

Perhaps create a new test button and make no modifications other than hooking it up to your script

[late needle]

Does not work either

[toxic swallow]

Any color change?

Wait, do you have an input module in the scene?

One gets added for you when you create the canvas

[late needle]

I don't think so

[toxic swallow]

You'll need one of those.

[late needle]

It works now

Thank you so much for your help 🙂
