Basically I have a camera attatched to a kinematicbody2d (player) so that I the camera follow the player, like in normal platformer games, but I can not get the menu to be positioned in the middle of the screen (where the camera is that follows the player, does anyone know how?
Edit: I solved it by making a canvaslayer node the child of my player, then I put the pause screen inside of it as it is now a part of the player, scripts still work, and you can do the same thing with the camera, without the canvas layer of course.

Can you share your tree structure? If your menu is under a control node, put it under a CanvasLayer

It’s all good, i made my menu a child of a canvas layer, so it followed the player.

It would be nice if you add the anwser and select it so others see how you solved it!
