Is there a way to close all open menus without referring to each specifically?

Yes, there's a function for that.

PlayerMenus.ForceOffAllMenus()

Mutajon

Thanks!
How can I call that function at the required time using AGs action lists?

Keks

Two options:

1. Create your own action. Here's official tutorial.

2. Use the action Object: Call event

• Create a new c# script
• Create new method called whatever you want - CloseAllMenus for example
• Put this line in the method: PlayerMenus.ForceOffAllMenus()
• Attach this script to any object in the scene
• Use the action Object: Call event (attach the object and select your created method)

void CloseAllMenus() { PlayerMenus.ForceOffAllMenus(); }

Note: Don't forget that your c# script needs to have using AC at the beginning

Place it in a custom script function, and call that function with either the Object: Call event or Object: Send message Actions.

So I've tried Keks's second suggestion.
But when I use the call event and select the method I created (close menus) I'm presented with a list of functions (?) I don't know which to choose?
Am I doing this right? what should I choose from the list?
Thanks!
See pics of the script and list -

Nearly there. Just make your "closeAllMenus" function public:

public void closeAllMenus(){

It'll then be an option in the event drop-down.

If you place this component on a GameObject, and then make it a prefab, you can then reference this prefab in the Action so that it can be called from any scene.
