How To Make An Options Menu - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

[@loganricketts9260]

I love these tutorials where they basically do an any% speedrun but with enough detail to follow along

[@plaguex5z011]

at 17:46 I found it was cleaner to create a structure array for each resolution value and run through it with a for loop with break, checking if the saved resolution was equal to the resolution at the array index and breaking the loop if so. It also has the added benefit of being able to access all of your resolutions from a single node in the future.

[@foxdogist]

Hey that's really awesome, but I'm kind of dumb. Could you elaborate on how you went about this?

[@CJdgamer]

@@foxdogist Lmao this is the most candidly accurate comment I've seen in a really long time.

[@foxdogist]

@@CJdgamer hey thanks man lmao

[@AkitaMix]

You don't even need a structure or loop for that, just a simple int point array, store the reso values to the array, and use 'get' on the array using the index of the switcher; or 'find' to find the value from the array

[@sniper44x]

I will certainly try that thank you

[@DividendFiend]

Just so everyone knows, if for some reason you don't see "events" settings on your buttons make sure "is variable" is checked.

[@Darkstar623]

you saved me with this thanks king

[@RhodderzX]

Awesome tutorial, Menu systems usually get forgotten and glad i found this one. Something i did find for the resolution is you could convert int point x to string and put that through a "Switch on String", just so you don't have cascading branches. Also means you can have a default as a failsafe.

[@thsuperelite]

thank you :) it really helped me a lot. I am a beginner at UE5 but i wanted to complete/package a simple project as soon as possible. i am just making a walking simulator so packaging and menu options etc tutorials are really helpful.

[@shami9353]

Me too

[@ItsRave_n]

What an absolute W tutorial. You made this tutorial so well by explaining what each blueprint item does which really helps we with learning how to code by myself. THANKS!

[@thelostsoul9497]

I ran your project files in Standalone Game Mode. The resolutions aren't working and the scalability settings in Unreal Editor aren't changing when I change overall graphics settings after playing it. What am I doing wrong?

[@echorises]

I don't get it as well. I had done a very similar attempt before watching the video, I got the same problem. Fullscreen mode doesn't work as expected for some reason.

[@TheManTheMythTheDude16]

Did anyone find a solution to this

[@DJenriqez]

This channel is treasure.

[@JustJoshinYouBro]

This may be helpful to some. You can also show the options menu in the same exact widget instead of a separate one by putting a border around it. making it a variable and naming it. Then do the same to the main menu bar. Leave the main bar visible on default and the visibility of the options hidden. Then on-click the options button and set the visibility of the options Border to visible then on-click the back button and set it to fall. I find this better in case you want to keep your main menu bar shown but if not then you could easily add some more nodes to make it hide when clicking options. This man did great and taught me some important stuff today so I figured I'd attempt to share a trick for some incase you don't want to just copy and paste this great man's work. Love you all.

[@benneton_etsi]

One of the cleanest tutorials i have ever seen! Excelent

[@nucleartide]

Fantastic video, thanks so much for this. This feels like one of those things that becomes a template after learning, but one does have to learn how to do it the first time!

[@PaulikasKarolis]

Awesome! Thank you, this was very helpfull! Would love to know how to go back to the menu when hitting 'esc'. Is it the same as Keyboard ESC Event -> Remove from Parent -> Create Widget -> Add to Viewport?

[@HDbacon]

I think you could set that up in the level blueprint for each level you have

[@gozawo1]

what can i replace in 6:56 add operator because i cant see can i replace multiply node? please reply

[@PatrickTheDM]

Very awesome! Thank you very much! I've been struggling with this for a while. I think it's due to most tutorials being for UE4. This works great with 5.

[@kylepoggenpoel370]

18:50 Why not just add a map variable of the resolution and index?

[@HighLammer]

very good job.. i use int point Array to Resolutionscreen, add de resolutions elemants, get index, find x.. work ok here..

[@Drunkcaster]

Again another very good tutorial from your channel, thank u for the good contant :D

[@olegklaus]

Great tutorial, straight forward and worked first try. Thank you!

[@soulfighterz]

very good, helps learning ui during the unity to unreal transition.

[@sniper44x]

Especially

[@orestes_io]

Great starting point. Thank you for sharing!

[@GamingGrudge]

tysm this will get me another skep closer to finishing wisho of fidgets

[@S_StudioGms]

Great Work, Thank you!

[@cherryVision]

This seems like so much work for something that basically every game needs, I wonder why some of the logic doesn't already exist

[@Nick-bn6ch]

It does. Try coding graphic settings from scratch. It fucking sucks

[@obijohn1]

Dude this was a fantastic tutorial, thanks very much.

[@ShantyTowniekKMm]

The resolution and fullscreen mode settings don't work for me

[@Пюс]

Thank you SO MUCH. Greatest guide i`ve ever seen

[@VinoVenitas]

This was great, thank you. I am having issues with turning off the sound but this was a great start. Thank you

[@muhammadhuzaifa2441]

amazing work sir. vary clear and concise.

[@davideamato4840]

Someone know why the only setting working for me is the graphics quality?

[@vlad3141]

Did you find out the reason?

[@IW_1mmao]

4:55 for me, it doesnt appeard the window called "my blueprint" so i cant add a new variable, can somone help me?

[@Cronogeo]

Sorry if im late, if you dont have that tab, open any blueprint > window > My Blueprint

[@IW_1mmao]

thx

[@AlistarBalauta]

Thank u very much. This was very helpful!

[@IllGib]

And what about different aspect ratios? Here you set fixed and most common resolutions, but there are many differents and you can easily "brake" someones monitor if he goes out of sync. There's a way to get a list of actual supported screen resolutions instead of hard coding them?

[@Red_xsamurai]

THANKS a lot everything workes just well

[@ZarBucanero]

Completed! Good work!

[@schnotty8566]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much!

great tutorial but one problem. how do you apply the sound for when you drag the slider

[@YoshiOsborne]

by any chance you could do an alternative to binding the text ?

Do you have a tutorial on how to do settings like this on frame rate?

[@MartinSvandaDeveloper]

Nice work !!!

[@alekseikuznetsov6016]

Usefull tutorial!

[@gokcesaloglu593]

hello, thanks for the tutorial. How can I add sound settings to this widget? If we want the player to be able to increase or decrease the sound in the game whenever players wants, how should we develop it? I need your suggestion !

[@crossmr]

Slider and then you put your sounds in a specific class/mix (to separate game and background sounds/music) and push the volume changes to those

[@birtufff]

nice video very easy tutorial

[@sohilVFX462]

Love you sir ❤❤❤

[@whisnor]

sorry to bother you but for me the resolution setting isn't working, if you could help, that would be great. Otherwise, this tutorial was amazing and very helpful

[@gmblackwell]

i am having the same problem too

[@whisnor]

@@gmblackwell dw it works in a package. It also kinda works if u set thr game to fullscreen

[@reruarikushiteru]

1. Window Mode doesn't work at all, that also applies to your example since you literally open it at the end with fullscreen being set, but the game opens windowed. For me it's always windowed in editor and fullscreen after build 2. Text bindings don't load when the widget is constructed. The variables do change and save (I can see the graphics actually look worse on low), but whenever you open the settings menu all the text boxes will just spell the first option regardless of what's actually set (so fullscreen, low and off in this case (I didn't add resolution))

[@Red_xsamurai]

everything worked here except the Graphics

[@Lililililon]

@@Red_xsamurai same did you fix?

[@Red_xsamurai]

@@LililililonI guess I fixed. Need to check as I have not opened my game for 1 month now

[@blazeking_5513]

it took all day of work so be warned lol haha but it works perfectly thanks alot i mean that now i have a fully function menu i am working on first then the games next its a terminator fan game

[@tomasfecko6326]

How do I ensure that if I set my desplay mode to fullscreen it will set automaticly my native resolution from my PC. Thanks for answear.

[@FluffyAmyNL]

Great video thanks

[@HDbacon]

Massive thank you!

[@michaelkukula5926]

Does the Graphics setting affect the over graphics quality like anti aliasing, texture quality and shadows? Or do I need a separate button for those?

[@HDbacon]

I believe if you want more control you'd need to do separate buttons. The graphics is basically just a preset setup.

[@HDbacon]

My graphics options such as epic and that don't change at all. Why is that? Was that related to the think you didn't do in the event graph?

[@BelfrostStudios]

How would I got about making a 'brightness level' in this

[@danD315D]

how do you make it so when you select the switch it dosen't move around (effected by the text size)?

[@michaelsilvers1260]

Hey man thanks so much for the tutorial. But I have one small issue. When I change the resoloution in my options and apply, it does work but now my mouse doesn't match my cursour. Meaning if I put my mouse over a button again like to change the resoloution back it doesnt detect it and I have to move my mouse far down and to the right for the button to light up. What can I do to get my mouse accurate again? Also is this potentially just a problem in the editor and may be correct in the actual packaged game?

[@AOD_AnkGrooger]

I love how when looking at assignments from classmates at my uni, almost everyone has copied this tutorial, then get surprised when they get a low score. People really do be just 100% copying tutorials and submitting them in assignments where 100% of it has to be your own work, and not tutorials. Still a good tutorial to teach, just remember people to change the way the UI looks to make it your own and stand out from other games. A basic looking UI will not make your game/project unique.

[@masterkywqlker]

I have a small problem; i don't know how to have the default value of the resolution to be set. For me it automatically says; 0x0. And the default of var.resolution is indeed that, but then still if I want to change that for 1920x1080 as default, and I hit next, then it instantly goes to the highest. Which means the current Resolution index must be at 3; 3+1 makes 4 (duh). But it says it's set at 0. Can you help me with this?

[@hentailover8444]

idk if you still need help with this but im pretty sure you just connect the default to the resolution you want to be default

[@ElmoPlayss]

None of the resolution or window mode settings do anything in a standalone game.. So this is pretty much useless.. Also the fullscreen doesn't go in fullscreen even in "new editor window" run mode

[@wgregoryw21]

So when I go to the options menu and I choose and change the Resolution because the screen changes for some reason all the button "colliders" stay at the same place they were so when I click the back in wont go back but if I click a bit higher it will... Is there a way to refresh the buttons when the resolution is changed?

[@Crouton_6]

The only way I found to fix this is by forcing the player to restart the game, then the new updated resolution and positions would be set.

[@cainscot]

thank you so much!!!!!!

[@jznrl]

When I turn window mode into full screen it doesn't turn in to it, is it normal for the editor in ue5 or is it not working for me?

[@za7304]

dont think it shows up in the editor only when youre in a full game

[@gadlikegodwithana.7512]

Works great but for some reason my quality is set to LOW when I choose the smallest resolution ...

I followed his tutorial exactly but when I set my graphics to medium or lower it doesn't load and says texture streaming pool over 160.668 MiB budget. Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it?

[@a1zombieslayer148]

type in the console r.streaming.poolsize 5000 to get rid of the message if you dont have different resolutions for textures then it doesnt have anything to load so it places a copy of the original (thants my understanding of how it works feel free to correct me if im wrong)

One thing about this I don't like for options is having the counting system for the arrow buttons. I want to make it so you don't hit a limit when pressing a button and instead have it loop but I don't know how to do this.

hah? For some reason, when I press the "back" button to return to the main menu widget. My character becomes visible and starts falling. My camera controls and (probably) my player inputs are registered. this also loads the widget on the character blueprint.
