[@charlesinterface]

Your tutorials are mossstt BEEETTTERRRRRRR!!!!!.... THAAANNNKKSSSS!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@foxedwards3486]

Thank you so much! I'd been trying to figure this out for hours before your video dropped!

[@kellowattentertainment]

what about using common UI? for further controller support in widgets?

[@DEM1GOD7]

I want to know this aswell

[@Oathelius]

5:52 the On Focused event doesn’t show up for me in my widget blueprint, is jt because I’m using a regular button and not a custom button?

[@DEM1GOD7]

Would you suggest this over common UI?

[@RtxRob]

Thank you Ryan, appreciate the video. For Anyone trying to get the gamepad controller to focus on the button in widget (when you first open it), add a 0.2 seconds delay in event construct before setting the set keyboard focus, worked for me, cheers.

I had this problem, but solved it the same way. Now though, I can't activate/press the first button until I've navigated down a button and back up?! The animation stays so I know its not been unfocused, but the blue box around it isn't there? I'm very confused

[@RtxRob]

@@kozselfmusic Two things that might be the culprit, 1. check if you are setting up "Current focused button" in event construct ? 2. Have you set up the function override for "on key down" in your widget ? If answer to both of them is yes, then convert the "Current focused button" to a validated get in "on key down" override function, put up a print string see if it goes through.

Can you do one about game pad for common UI as well?

[@real_crynex279]

I have no idea why the focus doesn't stay when I click the mouse into space. I did everything exactly like that but the focus doesn't stay, it goes away after a mouse click. I have the problem in UE4.27, does anyone have an idea?

[@charlesinterface]

I did it in 4.27 and it works.

I have a problem when following this tutorial: when you boot the level, the first button does not respond to the controller command. For example: my first button is "New Game", so the expected user experience is that you immediately press the gamepad button A to trigger it. However, that does not work. I first have to move at least by one button and then it will work. In your example: to make "Play Game" work, I need to move to "Load Game" first and then go back to "Play Game", then pressing the button with the pad works. Are you encountering the same issue?

[@FabioRaffaeleDeSantis]

Hi, I'm having the same problem. But i also have some widgets to which I added only one button and i doesn't let me activate the associated interaction

[@Marcus2389]

@@FabioRaffaeleDeSantis same! The way I solved it for the "one button widget" is that I created an "on key up" function override which basically triggers that button whatever button of the controller I press. It's a hacky way, but at least it works for that specific use case

[@Chrasmardan]

@@Marcus2389 Hey! I would love if you could elaborate just a little more -- How did you trigger "that button"? Did you use the "Current Focus" variable? I'm a noob lol

[@fael097]

good luck trying to gamepad press the button that the mouse is hovered though. bad implementation

[@TvCinemaCraft]

Nice video!

[@dixonez6805]

can you make multiplayer lobby?

[@DEM1GOD7]

bit strange you are using a Fortnight thumbnail when fortnight them self don't using any logic you have showed off. they used the Common UI plugin & its common UI widgets
