My solution could be to create a variable, then “when Menu button pressed, set “variable” to 0”. Remember, that variable won’t affect your game any way, but it will be important to not turn on the options. ---

Just drag an “On **menu** button pressed” sandwich block into your editor and leave it empty! ---

Go to the controller section and pick on when menu button pressed. Don’t add anything. The menu button will do nothing
