非常好的教程，帮助我解决了困扰很久的问题，十分感谢！

More VR Content please!!! This is great stuff!

[@tatsuroom9933]

This was a fantastic introduction video. Thank you for posting. I am using UE5.3.2. In the introduction video, it's noted that due to the version upgrade of UE5, a case has arisen where buttons cannot be pressed, so I'll provide a solution to address this. The problem now is that the VR template's input action system has changed, resulting in triggers not being activated unless the menu is opened, according to the blueprint settings (refer to the settings within the 'Menu' blueprint). The setting for pressing triggers is also included in this 'Menu' blueprint under 'EnhancedInputAction IA_Menu_Interact_～'. To remedy this, a new input action needs to be created within the input folder of the VRTemplate and linked to IMC_Default. Since there's already an input action named 'A_Menu_Interact_～' for both left and right, it's advisable to copy this. (If you don't care about management, you may be able to just link the existing "A_Menu_Interact_~" input action to IMC_Default.)After copying and renaming, follow the existing trigger press settings in IMC_Menu to set up a trigger press action in IMC_Default. Then, by configuring the newly added input action in the VRPAWN blueprint, following the 'Menu' blueprint under 'EnhancedInputAction IA_Menu_Interact_～', the widget buttons will become pressable.

Hello, I've set all the necessary world dynamic collisions but my debug lines dont seem to collide with the UI and i cant interact with it no matter what I do, do you have any idea what could be wrong? Other than that, Great tutorial so far!

[@sanjit5358]

Really great tutorial, can you please upload some more UI tutorials for VR more like switching between different widget blueprints in VR and stuff like that. Or how to change the widget class on an existing 3d widget

Hi:Could you give me some ideas of my ue5.2 Vr Project:My project is real-time speech to text, the widget has a preset Chinese, the player reads out, generates text in the widget, so this speech recognition plugin, originally written in the first person, so I want to display the widget in my VR scene, and see the text recognized in real time, now the widget in the scene is completely unresponsive, but this widget on the helmet has work.Thank you！

[@shamimazad7932]

Great Tut!!!... can you please make a tutorial of packaging this VR experience and send it to my client who has oculus device but not UE5 installed?

[@Daro2023]

Danke!

[@YuvalDorfman]

Great tutorial as usual, one thing missing: these are debug lines , you need a part 2 to explain how to add a true line, the debug lines wont show in a build that is non development

Hi i just new to this, but i have a project that i have made in third person in unreal engine. actually i made this for vr, but i dont have any vr console yet so i made in third person for now. so how to change this into vr? would i have to migrate all the data? your answer will help me a lot 😊

Hello! Is the problem that the blueprint for "inputAction TriggerLeft" cannot be found? I have also encountered the same problem. Have you resolved it?

[@H3MMY2010]

New input triggers : enhancedinputAction

[@timalder369]

with the VR Template there is a mapping context added in the pistol blueprint for the trigger. You can copy that into the VR pawn and run it on begin play. Hope that helps :)

Hi, my button on the 3D widget is not triggered if it is placed about an object. I think this is related to the navmesh. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

[@megamoze]

What do I do if the input Action for the left and trigger isn't in the VRPawn Eventgraph? I have the Grab right and left, but no trigger.

[@huntermlbb8353]

Use the Left GamePad Trigger or the Right GamePad Trigger

[@yuribiasi2606]

Solution (it's late but maybe can help another dev): go to Projects Setting and type "mobile multi-view" and uncheck it

[@laptopgamer6269]

Is there a tutorial that explains level design. All I can find are the setups.

[@senpaisugoine8408]

I need some help, I created a UI with exact same method but when i Click on a button all Input actions are blocked from the controllers. I even changed the motion controller blueprint to press and release correctly.

[@glitchysparx]

Hi! Thank you so much for your tutorial! It was really so informative! I just have one question. How can I toggle this widget? I would like to turn on/off the menu via one of the button but don't understand what logic I need to write. Is there any other way than destroying the spawn actor? Thank you so much for any information

[@VirtusEdu]

There's a function for setting the visibility called 'Is Visible', you can use that instead of destroying the actor

[@glitchysparx]

@@VirtusEdu thanks a lot!

[@InginCerdas]

what is the name of the controller used @VirtusEdu ?

[@thatXRlady]

Hi, I tried this, but my buttons are changing colour when hovered over but not performing its on-click functions. It's not being clicked. And unlike in the video, in my VR pawn, I do not have an input action trigger, I only have an input action move, input action snap and input action turn. So I created a custom input action pressed, and released for both Widget interaction Left, and right, and connected them to press pointer key and release pointer key functions. It still didn't work.

[@Spookysart]

[@manojp3576]

Hi, I have created a widget interaction for my UI menu and everything works as it should, except that the 2 lasers(Ray trace) are coming for each controller. I have done no extra modifications to the standard debug that is part of the widget and also I have tried absolutely everything including disabling instanced stereo and mobile multi-view. I tried different unreal versions 5.0.3 and 5.2.1 and also I checked in UDN the same issue had been already raised by someone but didn't find solution for it. Please let me know if anyone resolved this issue.

Hi excelent tutorial. but i tried to do and i coulndt becuase i see that in UE5.1 the blueprint of VRPawn is different.. i dont have the inputsactions triggered like you. do you know how can i do with the last update?

[@VirtusEdu]

Hey, glad you enjoyed! You may need to manually add input actions in the project settings and then implement them in the VRPawn blueprint event graph. However if that still doesn't work, join our discord and our team will be able to help you 1 on 1

how i can make for exmaple . i have 4 box . each one has wood , 2nd box has marbel . 3rd one has : plastic . and 4th has metal. so and i have a chair . by selection one of thos 4 box and chair gonna load that surface . thnx in advance .

[@iShadizZ]

There's something I really don't understand in the video. How does he get his Widget component to take up only the space for his menu and not the space for the Canvas? I'm trying to create a Widget for my VR application that expands when clicked and it's really hard to get it to scale properly. At the moment, in my BP_SpawnUIElement, in order to respect the size of my menu when it expands, I have to modify the size of my Widget Component, and so in my scene I end up with objects that are the size of the canvas.

[@creativehuman3d383]

cuando haces una explicacion igual pero con unreal 5.1

[@auaukiko.oficial]

I dont't have the "3D widget" trace channel. Using Unreal 5.2

[@DanielMo0]

If the click event does not fire: Use "Press Pointer Key" node instead of "Press Key" node from the WidgetInteraction component.

[@animazores]

Hi there! Where can I find InputAction TriggerRight or Left in unreal 5.1?

[@VirtusEdu]

To find the InputAction TriggerRight or TriggerLeft you need to create an Input Action Blueprint in the Content Browser. In the Blueprint Editor, you can add a new InputAction with the "Name" set to either "TriggerRight" or "TriggerLeft" and the "Key Event" set to "Pressed". Once created, you can use the TriggerRight or TriggerLeft InputAction in your project. Keep in mind that you may need to map these InputActions to a specific input device in the Input Settings of your project.

[@animazores]

Thank you very much.

[@seanyoon5783]

I placed a spawnUIElement menu in the level. But it won't show texts and buttons. Could you tell me the reason?

[@seanyoon5783]

Never mind. It shows the menu when it runs in Quest2. I don't know why it won't show when it plays in the level editor.
