[@loganricketts9260]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@arimpa3126]

One of the cleanest tutorials i have ever seen! Excelent

[@GamingGrudge]

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

[@soulfighterz]

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

[@VinoVenitas]

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

[@schnotty8566]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much!

[@DJenriqez]

This channel is treasure.

[@olegklaus]

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

[@muhammadhuzaifa2441]

amazing work sir. vary clear and concise.

[@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

[@user-sg4wi2ik3v]

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

[@tiebei2548]

Thanks for sharing!

[@AlistarBalauta]

Thank u very much. This was very helpful!

[@danelokikischdesign]

Amazing job! Thank you so much :D

[@martinsvanda5874]

Nice work !!!

[@Drunkcaster]

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

[@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

[@717feifei]

thank you ,you save my life !!!

[@HDbacon]

Massive thank you!

[@alekseikuznetsov6016]

Usefull tutorial!

[@danielignacioriadiberrios4041]

gracias broo sigue asi

[@cracoviapany1906]

nice video very easy tutorial

[@mytezlel1294]

thanks

[@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

[@gadlikegodwithana.7512]

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

[@ocyy_]

Good video

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@NotPops]

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

[@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.

[@WeAreNIM]

This is a great tutorial, helped me a lot, but I don't know how to get this working with my gamepad. 😢

[@lunarvisz]

when i resize the vertical box it doesnt move the buttons

[@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

[@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.

[@ultraninja13]

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.

[@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?

[@nestde8045]

this menu works for multiplayer game?

[@danD315D]

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

[@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.

[@pinkhairblackman8141]

14:24 foliage add more options

[@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.

[@triplePunktf2]

when i open my level using start game, the gamemode override stays as mainmenu and i cant move my character or shoot (i'm following your top-down game tutorial alongside this). im not quite sure what to do here if you/anyone have any ideas

[@sacksal]

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

[@sacksal]

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

[@kodekapp]

i cant main man widget can someone help me

[@gamingentertainment4025]

[@greencheeze6780]

Yea good job but why doesn't mine do anything

[@BrodyyOnYT]

my options menu wont go back

[@GameDevUE]

Please continue this series by adding a character editor like the one you made with the free adventure character😅

[@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.

[@armageddon7432]

for some reason, my options menu won't open

[@davideamato4840]

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

[@vlad3141]

Did you find out the reason?

[@AzurGameStudio_]

hey, can you help me plesae? When i enter a scene using content drawer, i can move the camera withou holding RMB, if i enter the scene with the play button in my main menu, i need to hold rmb to move the camera, whats wrong?

[@yoldyblogs766]

You could use a disable input maybe or set game to paused thats what i did for my game

[@AzurGameStudio_]

@@yoldyblogs766 Thanks!

[@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

[@ClarkGamer9]

i cant open the options😢

[@Enderking394]

My full screen doesn’t work, it’s always windowed no matter witch option I choose

[@UnrealUniversity]

sometimes in unreal engine, you can't test it, in your exported game does it work?

[@loganshadow77]

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)

[@josephsettle3802]

hey can is there still access to free beginner course? im not getting the email

[@UnrealUniversity]

yes, are you sure you used the correct email, as an alternative you can just watch if you sign up on my website : www.unreal-university.com/courses/unrealengineforbeginners

[@edneikamikaze]

Nothing working in standalone window =/

[@timozygmanowski7236]

how can i go to the menu after starting my game?

[@UnrealUniversity]

check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oabQi52VotSpa5o&ab_channel=UnrealUniversity

[@user-rd4re3di7k]

After the game starts, the menu background remains. What is the problem?

[@yoldyblogs766]

Im guessing you didnt make 2 different levels if you have the main menu in your playable level itll stay there if not then maybe you made the level blueprint or some begin play like in your character open your widget

[@calabralarouski7791]

my back button doesnt work..

[@princeveznan]

How he can go back to menu

[@yoldyblogs766]

You make a button that creates a the main menu widget when you click it he shows it towerd the end of the video

[@MesyaDev]

Why do most graphic settings tutorials use such a method, when a combo box looks more convenient and attractive?

[@garyh100]

Controller support?

[@finesseandstyle]

Apply doesn't do anything, am I missing something? The settings are being saved but in game it doesn't change anything. When it loads game user settings it loads the default settings EDIT: I didn't have Apply Settings on the Apply button function

[@ClarkGamer9]

hey do you know how do i fix when i click options it doesnt show ip

[@finesseandstyle]

@@ClarkGamer9 on main menu BP graph: options button (is variable turned on) -> select on click -> link options button to remove from parent (self) -> create widget the options menu -> add to viewport that should do it

[@StasonST19]

4:3 monitors is supported? ))) Yeah I old man on crt Monitor with 1600x1200 reslution )

[@alexanderalikin1210]

why not just set enum value instead of doing this crazy integer-byte stuff

[@AT7ex]

Fake For any one not like this video thanks men you are the best over 😍😍😍😍

[@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

[@Kirtle]

The whole tutorial is fine and helpful in terms of functionality, but the blueprints are very hardcoded and will be a nightmare for future maintainability. I don't know if this is targeted for beginners but it's a terrible practice to teach others

[@PeachMarrow12]

No it's not? A lot of people use them there's nothing wrong with them, and yes this is targeted to beginners as it's a tutorial.

[@p.g.art.5864]

Texture streaming pool over 1.644gib budget

[@p.g.art.5864]

Nvm had to restart it and now it’s all good

[@user-fm9zo5le2v]

Options for amateurs. You can't even change the anti aliasing method in this dumb program.

[@Mon92754]

24:02 When I tried to compile the blueprint, error messages popped up saying "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_200 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type.", "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_2 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity_0 Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type.", "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_6 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity_1 Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type.", and "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_10 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity_2 Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type."
