Great explanation and example with the meshes!! Thank you so much! Small question, are data assets meant to be read-only or can I also write to them? Currentley I'm using a data asset to act like a "shared variable" between all instances of a certain class. The asset only holds a reference to a widget "The currently active widget in the world" and I want all instances of an Actor Component to have access to read/write to this variable. i.e. Every component of this class can read the active widget reference, or activate it's own widget and overwrite the previous one etc.

Thx !!

Bro this is amazin! Keep it up you doing a good job man saved days +1

also, i couldn't get your hotkey set up working had to follow someone else's tut for that. i also would like to add it does not seem to make any difference whether you have a selected default character for your start up menu. also just to clarify i original followed you common ui tut for setting up my original start up menu which meant majority of the first video in this playlist i kinda skipped over as assumed it was pretty much the same as your common UI tut but after watching the videos multiple times i see theres a few diffences to how you originally set up you start up menu here vs in the common ui tut and when you have the mess up of have 2 "Gi_mains" thats where i noticed your controller set up is totally different to how it was when doing the common ui tut, this may be the reason for the spanner in my works when following this set of tuts. and funnily enough it was pyro devs tut that actually worked for me.

So mouse sensitivity doesnt seem to work for me it will set it to the default mouse sensitivity but doesnt seem to save it when i move the slider also cant seem to move around with my character when i add the mouse sensitivity to the camera of the third person blueprint just throws out the error "accessed none trying to read property as game instance". Node: add controller yaw settings etc.

Just started learning all this, but wouldn't it be more efficient if you were to instead of creating separate functions, add an input boolean for subtract or add?

1. GameMode (assigns:) 2. Playercontroller (creates:) 3. MenuStack (pushes) 4. Menu/Popup (uses:) 5. Buttonbase (uses:) 6. ButtonStyle/TextStyle

Cool tutorial! I have a question. Im working on car customization. On my garage level i create new stack and add base common widget. After i press button 'car color customization' and need to deactivate this widget, but widget still present on level, i cant see my car on level. Any idea where is problems? Thanks in advance!

First comment !!!! Yeah also thanks for such great videos, specially the ones about Common UI.

I left an angry comment yesterday about how I can't get common UI working no matter what I do, but I finally got it working! Here's a few things I've learned that I hope will save somebody else from the frustration I went through: 1) Use the enhanced input system and not the legacy input system. I still haven't managed to the old input system working with Common UI and the enhanced input system is better anyway! 2) The input mode must be set to UI Only (Game and UI might also work, haven't tested it). If not, the "Triggering Enhanced Input Action" in the CommonButton details panel just won't work. 3) The "Triggering Enhanced Input Action" seems to use the default click action in the input data in order to actually "click" the button. If the default click action is left blank, pressing the key to trigger the button will hover over the button instead.

Help a lot thanks

Thanks so much for this, you're a legend! will be joining your discord.

Why do we need images of the keys? I was doing without them until 20:20 but at that part when i save it without images it just deletes them. Should i just put random images there or i really need to download some real images of the keys. Is it only working like this or is there a real purpose of putting images?

Hey, nice video. Is there a way for the inputs to make the buttons look clicked, like when they're focused? right now when they're assigned an input action, they just sort of trigger the button without any animation.

this whole series should be saved somewhere in case the videso get lost, this is amazing

hey i want to ask u a question that will this Main menu playlist that you have created will it work in Multiplayer game

oh nice! I love these videos... Would love to see the UI widget universe get more love. So many possible learning paths

thank you, this was loads of help :)

Hey, thank you so much for this tutorial. I wonder at 1:01:00 The stacked popup menu... You prevented it to be clicked through by setting the visibility of the top overlay to Visible. In my example it works in the same way (UI_PopupExample), but I'm still able to navigate to the preceding widget (UI_Main) with the gamepad and focus its buttons. Do you have an idea on how to prevent the navigation of the stacked Activatable widget from jumping to the subordinate widget (e.g. when jumping from the ‘Print’ button to one of the tab buttons in the subordinate UI_Main)?

I watched this and your Common UI complete guide and still have my ps4 controller unable to navigate menus. It works in-game but as soon a I enter a menu it won't interact/navigate. I can press a button and have the game recognize that a controller is being used and it will focus on the button I set to be focused on but no matter what button I press or how much I move the thumbsticks, nothing happens. I noticed that when you designated gamepad inputs it would use Gamepad ------, but when I designated an input with my controller it would use GenericUSBController ------- instead. If I tried to manually set a gameplay action to Gamepad -------, it would not work in-game. That is the only difference I could see, but I have no clue why this would be causing my controller to not be able to navigate menus at all. Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a solution to my problem

Very nice content

I wish ue would make a ue for beginners that removes most of the nodes and just gives you the most basic ones and so you can learn to use them and then gradually gave you more nodes as you used the nodes you started with. I always feel so overwhelmed when I look at the list of possible nodes. lol I only know what a few of them actually do.

You deserve more subscribers, there is not enough tutorials on common ui, really god job man. I will go thru all your videos ;)

Hey, tyvm for the tutorial! Great info. My only problem is that I need a reverse communication, from the list view widget to the Entry widget (besides the initial one through the creation/Event On List Item Object Set. I was hoping during the 52min you will make a reference about how to do that, but no luck :( I can't seem to find a way to call functions that exist in the entry widget from the list view widget...

the UI_PopupExample should check "Is Modal", which will avoid open button trigger again in gamepad, checked Stop Action seems no use

That’s super useful and just in time for building my inventory system :)

I will be very interested in seeing how you have done your system. I have worked on this for numerous projects. I am partial to the GameplayTag approach.

I can't believe it takes 3 hours in UE5 to do something like this,if you were to make your own engine it would just be a matter of attaching a struct to the player's entity object, like quite literally a minute.

Domo arigato Monsieur Butier...this is fire your efforts are highly appreciated

This is fantastic, so glad to see this channel and the discord community growing I'll be coming back soon, or maybe I'll wait to 5.5 but this is def gonne be my first stop when I do, Keep it up man, you're awsome!

Awesome! I love this channel. Content that matters

I am experimenting on a combination of GAS and a custom component for stats, XP and leveling up. I’ll watch this when I get home cause it might help me

❤ found it! :)

So in my stat widget I’m going to try to include attribute points that you can spend on the “primary stats” instead of having them based off your level. I think I can do it by subtracting 1 from the attribute point stat and adding 1 to the chosen “primary stat”. Not sure if it’s gonna work that easy yet but in theory it sounds right

So if I wanted I could make a primary stat for attribute points, and use those as a way to increase?

for some reason some of my collectables delete themselves after i save and load but when i start collecting more they dont delete themselfs anymore

Wow never seem this one before ! Very very nice ty

If you know you are going to have 100s of different characters/creatures is it better to do it with a struct and data table vs Data assets?

These are so great! There was just one thing that made it confusing.... Whats the deal with red squares on the event nodes? And there is one with some other icon..like it needs power or something

Amazing! looking forward to the next one. Curious how the map thing works with the forloop

This was super informative. Thank you for this tip!

Amazing content! I'm learning all about common ui with your tutorials! Is there any way to control cursor with gamepad that you have found?

looking forward to this video!

Is it one saved game object that stores everything.. or is it one per object?
