Hi all,

I have three buttons on my main menu. If I click either Play Game or Story so far, they cease to work again after that. However if I click quit, I can click that one as many times as I want and it works perfectly.

Here is my code:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class MenuManager : MonoBehaviour {

    public GameObject story;

    private float targetTime = 63.0f;
    private bool storyOn;

    void Update()
    {
        if(storyOn)
        { 
            targetTime -= Time.deltaTime;
            story.SetActive(true);

            if (targetTime <= 0.0f)
                story.SetActive(false);
        }
       
    }

    public void StartGame ()                        // Called upon when player clicks play
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex + 1);
	}

    public void Story()                      // Called upon when player clicks story
    {
        if (story.activeInHierarchy == false)
        {
            storyOn = true;
        }
        else
            story.SetActive(false);
    }   

    public void QuitGame()                          // Called upon when player clicks on quit
    {
        Debug.Log("Application Quit!");             // Console will log message saying application quit
        Application.Quit();                         // The application will now quit
    }
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You should also set the main bool value to false, so the code doesn’t keep executing.
And you might want to reset the target time aswel?

void Update()
{
    if(storyOn)
    { 
        targetTime -= Time.deltaTime;
        story.SetActive(true);

        if (targetTime <= 0.0f) 
        {
            story.SetActive(false);
            storyOn = false;
            targetTime = 63f
        }
    }
}
