I have a pause menu with a retry button, that should allow a player to simply retry the level.
At present time, when the retry button has been pressed the game continues as normal but only the runtime stops.
I know I am missing obvious things such as deleting objects in destroy scene or something similar
I have tried numerous methods and have failed, here is my current code below, if someone could show me what I am missing and the best way to implement a fix.
I use classes in external files to create instances of each object, and I use external files to add certain items such as pause menu and controls, see below.
thank you.
