Unity Engine

I have this script which would make a menu appear but when i try to exit it, it doesnt respond. Like it does nothing. There is no errors at all and i cant find a answer for this. Any help?

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class ToggleGameObjectButton : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject objectToToggle;
    public bool resetAfterClick;

    void Update()
    {
        if (objectToToggle.activeSelf && Input.GetButtonDown(GameConstants.k_ButtonNameCancel))
        {
            SetGameObjectActive(false);
        }
    }

    public void SetGameObjectActive(bool active)
    {
        objectToToggle.SetActive(active);

        if (resetAfterClick)
            EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(null);
    }
}

Is it running the function? Use debug.log in the function.

For Update() to run, whatever GameObject this script is on also has to be already active.

Create an empty game object and place the script on that object as a sort of “MenuManager”, that way, you won’t run into the problem Kurt mentioned.
