Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial - Menus and Sub-Menus

[@stormolflak]

Thank you, I used buttons to set the index so it is easier.

[@mattcole1477]

This video helped me a lot, thanks for taking your time to put it together!

[@unreolog8699]

Great tutorial! Also, it looks very interesting. Thank you

I have a question (edit: 3 questions) - I want to have a menu that have 5 squares inside that represent different menues and those to be selected randomly from lets say 100 different squares. So random 5 need to pop in the menu when I open it and when I select one to call new random 5 squares from the pool. Another thing I want is to have a text above the 5 squares and want to change it somehow everytime I choose a square. Another very important thing is that these 5 squares need to have a unique picture, not just simple plain color. This will be a whole game with random events where you select your actions and then random things will happen to you trough text and pictures, and some things will change and be stored in variables (rpg), please let me know also if there is a smarter way to do this because the game will not need any other things but the menu and some blueprints work.

lol thats a lot to ask for

[@starscream2092]

Is this the best use for menu like ESC > Options > Video and so on ? Or it is better to use visibility on click in graph editor ?

[@tayam92]

If you're building a menu system like Bioshock Infinite using a gamepad, how would you switch focus to the sub menu when you're in it and return focus to the main menu when you're back in the main menu?

[@furrybproductions]

Can you do a second part that shows how to achieve this with thumbsticks and 4 or 8 way navigation? My game is gamepad centric. It was great to get how to do it with the keyboard, shoulder and face buttons, but can't figure out the thumbsticks. I'd really appreciate it.

[@devanteknight8247]

How do you make a splash screen when you first start up your game, then go right into the game main menu where you can select different game options or different game modes to play?

Probably to late to ask... you can add animations to these, right? Between switching.

Hi, inside the WidgetSwitcher you dont have free movement for the Text box or Border? You need use the Pading?

[@RyanLaley]

Yes because it is a single slot it has only relative positioning. Only a canvas panel provides absolut positioning. If you want absolute positioning in your switcher, put a canvas panel it in first

[@melthorme]

​@@RyanLaley Can i make you another question? I do an inventory, i pickup for example a apple, an axe and a bottle of water. All this in a box on the left of the screen, My idea is, i select the Axe in the inventory, and press a Button "Info", then i keep the inventory Screen on the left and view a Info Screen on the Rigth. With a "Close" Button . I cant do the Button "Info" work for each item of the inventory. i need a number for the WidgetSwitcher selector, that work. but i dont want a lot of buttons. Is possible make the Button "Info" for any objet when you select the objet in the inventory? Sorry for my englilsh, i hope you can understand me. Thanks!!

[@melthorme]

I doo!!!! is not perfect but is work. How can open always in a default switcher? a empty switcher (0) i have: 0=empty screen 1=water 2_Hammer But always open in water.

[@sergeyiu2301]

Great video, but i still don't have any idea how to implement a legit inventory. When i try to add my user created slots widget to the inventory widget it says "this widget can't have children". What am i missing?

[@josh-sr6co]

i cant find the get all children node, any idea why?

[@Rundra]

same here, cant seem to find it, will have to retrace all steps again later

[@nicklykouris2301]

Hey there Ryan! Thank you for providing us with this tutorial. It was really helpful. I have an issue thoguh, i enable focusable and change to visible, yet still my mouse disappears on the main menu i have created. Do you know anything about that? It really boggles my mind.

[@ugxgaming6541]

Some of these comments are so funny lmao

@@nicklykouris2301 Did you remember to connect the Return Value for Menu System Widget to Input Mode UI Only's Widget in Focus? In player blueprint.

[@bentripn]

Fantastic! Thank you Ryan!

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

I dont understand why when he press M the menu is displayed. I replayed the video a few times, he just specifies M is a new input called menu... but doesn't specifie it in any script. Im missing something and i don't know what

[@RyanLaley]

Shown at minute 5. Its in the input settings.

[@MarkOfArgyll]

Brilliant as usual, easy to follow and understand. Thanks for this :) Take it there isn't likely to be one showing the "tab" variation? He asked hopefully... :D

[@RyanLaley]

Tab one is essentially the same but watch this space

[@unrealengine4turk796]

valorant and cs similar can you make a gun menu. no one didn't do it. if you don't answer, too. I'll reason with myself and do it..

[@bagsy4884]

Thanks bro!

[@BrianHamil]

You feeling okay brother? You sound like you might be getting sick again.

[@RyanLaley]

Filmed it a while ago. May have been ill lol

[@BrianHamil]

@@RyanLaley Right on. Keep up the good work. You haven't covered much in a while that I haven't figured out on own, but your work flow (especially the inventory system) really helped me establish a comfortable rhythm and I know anyone just starting with UE4 or coding in general will get a lot of use out of your vids. Honestly, you should teach professionally.

[@landennation8201]

Thank you so fucking much
