Hey ! Cool tutorial again here ! Is that possible to get a preview of the integrated UI components ?

[@loxaevion]

unfortunately no. I am not a fan of the built in ui nodes at this time. while the idea is great, they lack the utility to be worth using. I did make an old project a while back that let you place the Ui in real time, but since then something happened in development causing it to crash on start. I ended up scraping the project after weeks of working on it. I hope in the future they will get reworked to be more usable. Sorry im not much help.

@@loxaevion From what I understant, the UI nodes are made for...well... UI (menus and such), not HUDs.

how do you make a timer ?

[@loxaevion]

@@redscoot8634 depends on the use case. You can use a timer node to trigger something after a set amount of time. Ore you can make one with an object property node. Just create a property on the specified object then use a modify property node to subtract from the property. You can use a delta facter node to use delta time to calculate the duration more accurately.

How do I make a character customization system in upbge for a game?

[@loxaevion]

Simple way, take your basic character then make some modifications, separate them from the character, making sure not break the weight painting if it has it. Then use a edit object brick or node to swap out the clothes, hair, and other stuff.
