How To Create A Main Menu - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

[@UnrealUniversity]

Made part 2 : How To Make An Options Menu : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJeZaIuqpsyGrsU ( Note if using unreal engine 5.1 use "Open level by object reference" instead of open level by name)

[@hotbergina]

hello can we replace the image background with a video ?

[@gabidrg4008]

I did everything in this video but when i press play does not enter in the thirdpersongamemode :) that s the issue i think and the screen with the main menu remains on the screen, any idea?

[@Jablingus]

thanks

[@MLgames1]

what about a how to make a level select?

[@Ba8sbaNybRMAcXCNdKnLTA]

Hi, did you ever find a way to do this?@@hotbergina

[@avocadofiregame]

If you don't see events on the buttons make sure they are set to Is Variable at the top in Details.

thank you bruh😭

[@mannahkallon2289]

Seriously. Thank you.

[@pewpews2146]

As of 5.1 - Instead of "Open Level by Name", use "Open Level by Object Reference". Functions exactly the same, but it works when you package your game.

[@Fishe.]

holy shit you saved my life

[@vishavjitbuttar1366]

wdym by open level by object refrence or open level by name. Is it something I can do in the editor?

[@vishavjitbuttar1366]

oh nvm its the function's name lol

[@ggmnkwasefr]

Hi when i open my main menu its fine and all but when i press start it open the world fine but i cant move my player (im making a fps game so i use the fps template also it not the template map its a custom one i made by makeing a new level so its not the original map)

[@JulianSethBishop]

@@ggmnkwasefr Hopefully you figured out that when you create a new level, you should go into world options and at the TOP of the "Details" Panel, There's the "GameMode Override" section, and you can change your "Default Pawn Class", the "HUD Class", and the "Player Controller Class", to alter what character, interface, and control scheme you have available when the map starts/spawns you in.

finally, a unreal 5 tutorial that is not 1 hour long and filled with so many shortkeys that takes another video to explain the last video. You have earned a sub from me

[@InsanityisSanity]

best tutorial ever. no fafffing about, no time wasting, no excessive explanations, just straight to the point. very nicely done. Subscribed

[@KratonWolf]

The one thing I was missing that you helped with right at the end was the showing and hiding of the mouse cursor. I didn't know about the Set Input Mode node before now, and that's really quite helpful to know about! Thanks!

[@UnrealUniversity]

Glad it helped!

[@tarnowostrim8218]

@Uisco Hello, i was figuring out whole day why this menu system does not work in Unreal 5.2 Version, and when you click "play" nothing happens, it is because 5,2 version has internal error in reference linkings through engine files, and there is no fix for this yet. Just check the error reports. For normal use i installed Unreal 5.1 Version, everything works perfect, no errors. To anyone who encounters same problem that this menu will not start after project reopening, just change default game map in project settings to one that is shown in this tutorial/ one you made. This will solve problem after engine restart. Hope this helps for anyone and save your time :)

hi, great tutorial, I'm trying to follow, every thing seems to be working as shown in the video but, when I package and run the .exe, i'm getting empty "blank level" instead of the main Menu UI. (while running in UE editor its working fine).

they changed it in unreal engine 5.1 use the node "open level by object reference "instead ( I will pin this comment )

[@captainsubbot7101]

Hey, I wound up not saving something properly, my bad. Now despite having all the same visual code as you as far as I can tell, when I click play the Menu doesn't disappear! I can still interact with it and everything, it's as though it's not loading the map, even though all the code is telling it too! I don't know where I've gone wrong! It was working fine yesterday! Any ideas as to what an issue like this could mean?

[@UnrealUniversity]

Is your main menu in a seperate level

[@captainsubbot7101]

@@UnrealUniversity How would I check? The icon for "MainMenu" has the heart icon surrounded by rectangles, and is labeled as a widget blueprint. Hovering over it the "Is Data Only" tag reads false

[@jotafreshh4126]

good tutorial!! how well you explain it! I have a question, is there any way to make a start menu like God of War or Shadow of the Colossus? I mean that the background of the start menu is the beginning of the game's cinematic. Could you show me how to do something like that? There are no tutorials on how to do it! greetings from Argentina!!

[@Numirix]

when I click to start button,level is coming to screen but buttons are not going.What can I do for it

[@UnblockedOne2]

thanks. worked the first time

[@creatorediillusioni]

Really like your videos. I also bought all your courses on udemy! But please talk clear or use a better microphone. At certain point was very difficult to understand what you were saying. Please can you make a video with ui start menu but instead of having a picture behind a video or a animation cinematic? That flow direclty into gameplay once start is clicked? Thank you

[@kai-diprose]

great video i liked

After i add this Main Menu UI some of my system no longer work like my enemies dont roam anymore,they stand still

[@trijaltripathi8219]

hey mate instead of a image for the background how can we use a mp4 hence a video

Can i use this tutorial for mobile game menu too?

[@ConTheYeep]

5:58 I’m having some trouble importing the image, can someone help me out?

[@TomLis-u3o]

How would you change the menu image based on progress in your game? lets say in Level 1 you have image of manequins. But when you get to level 2 and you quit the game, the image in menu will change to different because your progress ended in level 2 etc. thank you
