Text On Screen When Picking Up Items - Unreal Engine Tutorial

[@kazuhito5030]

Thanks matt really helpful these kind of videos

[@raymondmetzger3706]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! Worked perfectly

[@fosterboy1587]

Thanks matt just what I needed thank you also how would you add text say for instance a door saying door locked

[@MattAspland]

Great to hear :) You could use this too, so when you interact with the door, if it is locked, you can add this text to the screen

[@fosterboy1587]

@@MattAspland thank you I will try that

Great Video! :)

[@TheZoobZoobs]

OH man, you're the best Matt, I love you! Edit: You mentioned that you explained the "On component begin and on component end" event nodes in another video, can you tell me which one? I can't quite get the text prompt to appear.

[@NewMateo]

is there any chance you can help me out. whenever I create this widget mine that opens doesnt look anything like yours (i.e. with the flower thing on the top left. There's just.....the grid. When I drag in the size box OR text box all I get is a big green outline showing the screen size but it isn't a resizeable little box like your is showing. is there some sort of setting I need to enable so I can do this? Mine doesnt show a "canvas panel slot" like yours does. edit: I think I figured it out..unreal engine 5 DOESNT automatically populate a "canvas panel" when you create the widget now it's totally blank! I need to manually add it in to be able to do anyhting.

Good Tutorial. Thanks.

[@MattAspland]

Thanks a lot Steve!

[@RobinDale50]

How about the same thing, except the text appears while you are looking? Like "Press 'F' to pickup SPAS-12 Shotgun" where you pull the name from a table or something?

[@stevenwynn819]

No need to make a table. You can make the text a property of the item (actor). Use a line trace node to determine what the player is looking at, and use one of the outputs to determine the actor id. Then you can read the text from the actor.

[@MattAspland]

Great idea, you could merge this video with this previous one I had done :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/haSappljrM6IbtE

[@RobinDale50]

@@stevenwynn819 Good call, that is simpler.

[@leonpijudo6875]

I want to do the same but with object descriptions . it didnt worked for me. It´s like only the last interactable object show me the text. It seems to only work if the object is destroyed

[@raktimjs]

No doubt, why you got 0 dislike. Sir, could you please consider making a tutorial on how to add collision to foliage, so that, if trees, rocks are added as foliage, then we can get collision there... I'm facing problem...

[@andreman86]

how to make it so when I pick up and item, it will show on screen and get added up into the inventory and if I press a keyboard button it will drop it

[@MattAspland]

Well you could do something similar to this video for the first part, except text it would be an image. And for the latter you'd need to set up an inventory system which is a little more complex, I can add it to my list however :)

[@mattr5413]

Would I need to make many changes to this outline if I was opening a chest and wanting and image or text to pop up? Thought maybe it would easily be applicable but cant seem to get it to work? thanks for the tute!

[@mattr5413]

Disregard figured it out thanks heaps for the Tute!

[@oldpineapple1765]

Anyone know if there is no Set interactoin text anymore in UE5.3? It just doesn't show up

[@EmilyJonez]

sorry if this is too late to be helpful! but set interaction is the same as set interaction text, works exactly like the video and is in ue 5.3

[@nebula480]

I was able to get the text to pop up. Lets say I have a paper on a desk. A first, when my player presses F, it says "What's this?" How would I follow that up with more text? "Looks like someone left this behind"

[@reallyanderson]

For some reason, this isn’t working for me. When I press E, nothing is happening. I have the casting set to me own character instead of the 3rd person character cause I’m not using that. Am I missing an action map or something for my character blueprint?

[@adhirajb]

Did you get a solution to this?

[@leonpijudo6875]

did you solve it?

[@KylezUwU]

I have managed to get the text to pop up when I walk over and pickup the item but can't get the text to go away why is this? I wanna have it so when I press F the text removes.

[@SoraKurosakiify]

Hey Matt, any idea why this isn't working in the top down format? I've replicated your blueprint and replaced the cast to third person into cast to top down. Other than that i'm stumped!

[@williamminnaar6311]

Good day to you - I am also not sure what you would call this - So basically - I would like to be able to walk up to an item - Table - The table / item would highlight - when I click on it - It plays a video full screen? Please help :)

[@imbnq]

Thanks!!!

[@wolfiedgr8t]

Thanks Matt, really great tutorial 👍

[@MattAspland]

Thanks for your support, always happy to help! :)

[@jbober123]

Great tutorial as always. But how can i make text appear when i cant open doors and need another item for it? I followed tutorial and when i get the key text appears but when i try open my doors without the key text doesn't appear

[@andresaraya5198]

you could make a branch and make the text appear when it is false (aka; you do not have the key)

[@CrionicFear]

How would you add on a pick up sound onto this, when you press E?

[@panpesek8036]

just add play sound at location or sound 2d when pressed

[@neilaggarwal9356]

I tried to follow the tutorial but the message only appears in the left eye.

[@andresaraya5198]

but why disable the input? now If I want to interact with something else I wont because the input will be disabled.
