    Thanks for the great video. If so, I have a few more questions. When I enable bExplicitCanvasChildZOrder and use Canvas Panel, the num batching that can be confirmed in slate stat increases by only 1 even if I nest Canvas Panel and put an image as a child. Then, can using canvasPanel instead of overlay be an alternative? Because the visible num batching increases only by the z-order of canvasPanel, not the number. I need to optimize, but I can't figure out which one to use to create the UI nesting structure because of the result value when bExplicitCanvasChildZOrder is enabled.

    • @Spacemarine658
      @Spacemarine658 27 днів тому

      @@양혁-u3j so explicit canvas z order is more efficient than not using it as it batches the zorder of the children per level but it doesn't remove all of the cost especially as the z order grows it will help with nest canvas panels somewhat but the actual use case of layers will still have a cost overhead as does the batching. So it can be an option you just have to be aware of it's issues

    Great video! Do you know of a way to enable mapping of e.g. a gamepad button to a key mapping that is originally set as a keyboard key in the mapping context? Neither the UEnhancedPlayerInput or the UPlayerInput code is enforcing this. I think it might be down to the query functions in the UEnhancedPlayerMappableKeyProfile with UEnhancedPlayerMappableKeyProfile::QueryPlayerMappedKeys. It's the only check involving key type i can find. I'll be testing this later and post my findings but maybe there is a simpler solution you might have come across?

For example in the pause menu thats never destroyed only collapsed and shown ? I'm wondering this because the way I have things now my pause menu is pulling in my settings menu which has dozens of nested widgets and a very deep hierarchy ... But if my understanding is correct this is only a concern when creating the widget to prevent stutters ? Thanks for the help.

    So it's all about the drawcall count, caused by a simpler hierarchy? Or am I wrong

      @@pecka6612 it's a mixture of reduced drawcalls but also moving the load away from the CPU and onto the GPU by using materials you essentially parallelize some of the cost too making the overall workload less making your UI snappier

    I was using a CanvasPanel for each item slot of my grid inventory (sometimes more than 100 slots on screen at the same time) and it was absolutely destroying my framerate. switching to overlays solved the issue. so yeah good advice, beware of canvas panels, they're meant to be used for 'global' layout, one or two is perfectly fine, but more than that is death sentence for your fps
