Thanks for the great tutorial! In my case it helped a lot to include 'Set Input Mode UI only' and 'Set input Mode Game Only' nodes to avoid having to click once before being able to start your game or use the menu.

I'd like to add something that'd be useful for people starting in Unreal- there's a way easier method of keeping the mouse on screen in your title (and also makes it so the mouse focuses on your game upon starting!). At 2:29 Matt added the widget to viewport- directly after that node, add a node called "Set Input Mode UI Only" and make another node called "get player controller" and link it to your "Set Input Mode UI Only". Then, in the level blueprint for your main game, add a "Set Input Mode Game Only" node to Event BeginPlay and add the same reference to your player controller. This will make it so you don't have to create any extra game modes or player controllers just to make the mouse focus on your title screen and level and is way faster in general. Hope this helps!

I have a question. I'm using your tutorials to make my first game, yet I'm starting to figure out some problems. Granted, I haven't finished watching this yet. I've learned that if I am in the third person example game level, then the main menu level doesn't execute, but if I am in the main menu level, then it does execute. So, my question is that do I have to be in the main menu level at first before I can export, or it wouldn't matter? I hope that this info with my question helps. And you're very detailed, thank you. :)

When I start game my buttons don’t work, I’ve watched the video 3 tomes, made sure it’s in new level and I’ve made sure the code is correct. But for whatever reason I see my hud on the menu, and my buttons don’t do anything
@MattAspland
@MattAspland 4 жыл бұрын
Oh that's strange, if you see your HUD on screen make sure that you aren't creating that widget anywhere, for example in the level blueprint or in your character, also make sure it isn't in the game mode override in the world settings. Also, have you got the new player controller for the main menu, I'd also suggest putting print strings after the button clicked event so you can tell if you are pressing the button but its the code after which isn't working.

The question I would have is when you click start game and load the map when I check world controls it has the menu game mode set in game mode override, now say you have an existing setup with player controller, and save game hud etc etc all setup in the main map your loading into , mine seems to all work my saves and functions etc , but isn't showing the game modes set for that level in world controls display just the ones we set in the main menu level , strangely my save items and things all work, but im curious if that's just a glitch or if I should manually set those in the main menu widget before loading the level straight out ? or do i go into the level blueprint for the new loaded level map and manually set them there as it loads

Hey! Your videos are awesome! You're doing a great job thank you. I have a question about this one. When you start the level by clicking on the start button, how do you set a loading screen in there ? Because depending of the platform where you'll play the game the loading time will be different. I'm sure there are many people out there needing help on how to set a proper loading screen in blueprint (and not just an image hud with a delay). If you know how to do it, please make a video about it 🙏

@MattAspland
@MattAspland 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, I'm doing good thank, how are you doing? And an easy way to have different game modes in different levels is to set them in the world settings. So with your level open, go to "Window>World Settings" and then all the way on the right of your screen you will find the world settings. In here you can choose which game mode to have, this will only apply to the current level you are on. So where we set the main menu game mode, that will only be on the main menu map, as that is the one we set it on. Other than that you can't change the game mode in runtime.

I have a couple of questions... Firstly, I changed my button text from black to yellow. The text looks fine in the editor, but in the game it's grey. I managed to get the colour to work by ticking the behaviour > tooltip > is enabled option, but then the cursor bar appears when I hover over the button text in the game. How do I get the text to stay the colour I assign to it while also not getting the cursor bar showing? Secondly, my game has the option of creating/saving up to 3 characters from a few race/class options. How do I link the menu to the save game data so it saves/loads/plays different characters? In your video you set it to load up a specific level map on Start, but obviously the starting map/location will change based on whether the character is playing the game for the first time or if it's a returning chracter that should start from the last location. Do you have a video doing a more indepth start menu with the above? Or could you make one please?

@@magnus00125 Hey man, I don't have any specific links or anything. However, I'd recommend just doing what you're doing now, and when following tutorials, make sure you understand what you've done and why you've done it before moving on. If you don't understand, then ask for help, or try something simpler. That way you aren't just writing down code, you are understanding why. Also, I found for me game jams were a massive help as it forced me to create game ideas, efficient code, etc all under a time constraint. Hence needing the more efficient code, and helps to learn more. Plus, I just got in Unreal and messed about with the different nodes to see what they all did and how they all worked with each other. Hope you can find some help in this. All the best man, good luck with your learning! :)

You dont have to make a new player controller, you can from event construct: Set : Show Mouse Cursor--> get player controller--> set input mode UI only--> hook them all up and when you whant to set it back you do: Set : Show Mouse Cursor to false-->set input mode Game only and you are done AND hook player controller to player controller in the scrip P.S if you need more detalils just reply

Thank you for such an informative video. I want a 2D Menu like what you have to show up on the monitor but when I hit Play I would like it to open up a level in VR on the headset. I thought I had the settings right, but I'm not sure how to get that to work properly. The only reason I'm not doing a VR menu is because there's a lot of text and I find reading in VR gives me a headache. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? Thank you!

So I have been working for weeks to make a game and was going to finish it with last step widget, and Im stuck. When I click play, the widget does not dissapear but level opens. I tried to open other levels and all of them working but for som reason it wont work on the thirdpersonexamplelevel, which is the most importent one and I have everything in this level. I have no clue why is like it is.

Hello, so my friends and I plan to make a picture based multiple choice game. Where you just click next, read the next, and then click your decision etc. I think I can create such a game with the blueprint methods shown in this video for sure, but is there a more efficient way or should the concept be the exact same? Import image, create buttons, blueprint them to go to different images, create text and repeat? Should I use a different pre made project, go blank or what. I ask this as you got the third person controller settings from your pre made folders. Also are there ways to make the buttons more fancy?

Hey Matt, as always great video. I also used a second game mode to handle my main menu. Now i want to add an Option to the menu, so that i can turn off and on the Music/sounds. I managed to set a Button in a widget, which cast to the main menu mode. Inside the main menu mode i deactivate the SoundMix to lower the Volume with a bool. So far so good. But if i start the game, load the thirdpersongamemode, pause the game and get back to the mainmenu, the default value of my boolean will set back to the old value. So the main menu mode affects the thirdpersongamemode, but not in the other direction. Any Idea how i can manage Options and can communicate between the gamemodes? ThX

@MattAspland 4 жыл бұрын
Hey man, thank you! I wonder if maybe using save games would work to do this. So save the value of the Bool and then every time you load up your game and level, you can load that save game and again set the volume and etc using those saved value. Hope this makes sense and I understood you properly. Save Game Tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maCzooZqmrmjnq8
