Super Basic Intro to the Common UI : Common Activatable Widgets

A super basic look at getting started the Common UI in Unreal Engine. We tried to make this as simple as possible and left out some other functions such as keyboard mapping and some other things, but felt it was too much to present all at once.

Thank you for this! If you could please create more, that would be awesome. Hardly any tutorials on common UI. We need em!

Great Video!! There are not much videos about common ui. Im glad i found yours. love the laughter at the beginning :D

[@elgrekko9634]

Aloha ! You should do more videos about COMMON_UI especially to use the gamepad ! It's a nightmare on UE I mean, gamepad in menu like in Lyra_Project !

[@pwnonator]

Thanks. Was able to do a basic setup similar to yours. I need more though lol

Question, every single piece must inherent from activatable widget? A progress bar, for example, or just the main widget that holds all the pieces?

[@peterjohnson8570]

Good illustration of how to use the common styles and creation of a base button class... but this doesn't really showcase the versatility and more important aspects of CommonUI. Showing how to actually use the stack for more complex UI navigation (as it was designed for) and the integration with Enhanced Input would have been great.

When I activate the UI the mouse isnt changing from game play to UI. It just keeps moving the character perspective around. Whats the approcah to changing that? Great tutorial!

Thanks. You don't use CanvasPanel because the implicit performance issues?

[@CrimsonWoods]

Using Canvas Panels across sub widgets will impact performance. Better to only use it when needed.

What about modal button event binding?
