Just what I was looking for, you just got a new subscriber 😁
Great! Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on Common UI, and I've picked up quite a few general UI tricks I didn't know about, too. For all the content on YT about Unreal, there is surprisingly little on making good UIs and next to nil on Common UI specifically. This is greatly appreciated! :)
Of course! Happy to spread some love on Common UI although it can be very complicated and frustrating at times, it has potential to be quite great. With 5.5 now out, there's more updates we need to take a look to see what they've added too 👀
Hey @MrButiier, I built a data asset inventory myself and there is a way to get unique data assets that don't all share the same reference. As you've already started correctly, you have to construct the base class but then you have the problem that you don't have any data in the object, which you can solve by writing a function in your data asset that takes a data asset reference and sets the individual values of the constructed asset. This way you go from global data assets to a unique data asset.
Oh interesting, so essentially you construct the primary data asset -> set values -> then use that as a storage asset for the inventory? Have you found any limitations or some constraints you had to work around with it, I attempted to play around with it a bit more but felt like it was more manual effort equal to using just structs so curious how it played out for you 👀
I cant add a mapping in the widget i have the same parent class but the mapping doesnt show!
I have trawled through a 3 hour unreal presentation, the common ui API and quick start guide. I have spent days conversing with Copilot to try and resolve what seems like basic issues. NOTHING explains common ui better than you have. All issues I have come across you have resolved. Thank you so much. I would love to see this implementation in c++
I’m sure you figure it sometime during the stream but you need to make the string a tag container
yeah i just sat there getting annoyed with the tags 😆
@@MrButiierlol I love gameplay tags. They’re so versatile and can be called from anywhere.
Hi. I would like to come here to say that I have no word to thank you for these Common UI videos. It is saving me A LOT in my game convertion from umg to common ui. Thank you so much!
Hi. I added some Selected/Normal/ TEXT styles in my commonButtonStyle to change text color of the selected button on tabs, but the texts are not changing the color :(
Ah! You can fix this by going into the button style and change the “Selected Normal” to reflect the same as the hover tint.
You said "for all buttons.... styles all require an overlay". You can use a common border which uses less resources than a overlay. But this may not have been true 6 months ago.
Great lesson, the best on the internet. Save stat does not work. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hm I haven’t received any issues regarding the save feature. It’d be best to check that it is properly being saved and loaded. The community would be happy to help debug if you join the discord!
Great explanation and example with the meshes!! Thank you so much! Small question, are data assets meant to be read-only or can I also write to them? Currentley I'm using a data asset to act like a "shared variable" between all instances of a certain class. The asset only holds a reference to a widget "The currently active widget in the world" and I want all instances of an Actor Component to have access to read/write to this variable. i.e. Every component of this class can read the active widget reference, or activate it's own widget and overwrite the previous one etc.
Thx !!
Bro this is amazin! Keep it up you doing a good job man saved days +1
also, i couldn't get your hotkey set up working had to follow someone else's tut for that. i also would like to add it does not seem to make any difference whether you have a selected default character for your start up menu. also just to clarify i original followed you common ui tut for setting up my original start up menu which meant majority of the first video in this playlist i kinda skipped over as assumed it was pretty much the same as your common UI tut but after watching the videos multiple times i see theres a few diffences to how you originally set up you start up menu here vs in the common ui tut and when you have the mess up of have 2 "Gi_mains" thats where i noticed your controller set up is totally different to how it was when doing the common ui tut, this may be the reason for the spanner in my works when following this set of tuts. and funnily enough it was pyro devs tut that actually worked for me.
So mouse sensitivity doesnt seem to work for me it will set it to the default mouse sensitivity but doesnt seem to save it when i move the slider also cant seem to move around with my character when i add the mouse sensitivity to the camera of the third person blueprint just throws out the error "accessed none trying to read property as game instance". Node: add controller yaw settings etc.
Just started learning all this, but wouldn't it be more efficient if you were to instead of creating separate functions, add an input boolean for subtract or add?
Unfortunately, using a bool only has true/false so that gives two options and we need 3. Also I have made an improved system of this series here: ua-cam.com/video/M7MyOezBCk8/v-deo.html
@@MrButiier Awesome, thank you! I also want to add I wasn't critiquing you, I was genuinely asking. I am almost finished with the video, as I have been experimenting with ideas along the way. For example, instead of the data table, I went with a multiplier value that is also in the enum table. So when the character levels up ( new level * multiplier ) + Base -> SetStatValue()
@@Galadx25 oh no worries at all! I didn't take it personal lol. If you can find edits or improve it for yourself then I encourage it 😁 Oh definitely the multiplier is way simpler than a very manual data table, that's one of the things i got rid of when i revamped the system. Feel free to post any edits you made that you found more useful or just in general better performance or functionality. I enjoy reading the ideas from others and seeing if I can use it to improve future stuff 👀

Cool tutorial! I have a question. Im working on car customization. On my garage level i create new stack and add base common widget. After i press button 'car color customization' and need to deactivate this widget, but widget still present on level, i cant see my car on level. Any idea where is problems? Thanks in advance!
Hey! It’s a bit hard to tell without seeing the functions you have set up, if you’re able to join the discord and provide some screenshots it would be easier for the community to help out to make sure you’re deactivating and activating the widgets correctly.
First comment !!!! Yeah also thanks for such great videos, specially the ones about Common UI.
I left an angry comment yesterday about how I can't get common UI working no matter what I do, but I finally got it working! Here's a few things I've learned that I hope will save somebody else from the frustration I went through: 1) Use the enhanced input system and not the legacy input system. I still haven't managed to the old input system working with Common UI and the enhanced input system is better anyway! 2) The input mode must be set to UI Only (Game and UI might also work, haven't tested it). If not, the "Triggering Enhanced Input Action" in the CommonButton details panel just won't work. 3) The "Triggering Enhanced Input Action" seems to use the default click action in the input data in order to actually "click" the button. If the default click action is left blank, pressing the key to trigger the button will hover over the button instead.
Help a lot thanks
Thanks so much for this, you're a legend! will be joining your discord.
Why do we need images of the keys? I was doing without them until 20:20 but at that part when i save it without images it just deletes them. Should i just put random images there or i really need to download some real images of the keys. Is it only working like this or is there a real purpose of putting images?
Hey! When it comes to setting up controller data, it allows you specify which images to use based on which controller input or mouse/keyboard is being used, so if you wish to have different images for PS5/Xbox/Switch etc then you’d want to put images and put in different options. If you only plan on just supporting one option then you’d don’t really need to worry about that. In this case, Input Action data table setup is the out dated way to use common Ui inputs, I’d suggest taking a look at my new video that cover Common UI with Enhanced Input Actions, it’s a much better option.
Hey, nice video. Is there a way for the inputs to make the buttons look clicked, like when they're focused? right now when they're assigned an input action, they just sort of trigger the button without any animation.
Sorry I’m a bit late! I made quite the blunder in this video and just a mistake on my part :). You can fix this by going into the Button Style Base and changed the "Selected Normal" to have the same tint as the Hovered Tint, this will then fix the issue.
this whole series should be saved somewhere in case the videso get lost, this is amazing
hey i want to ask u a question that will this Main menu playlist that you have created will it work in Multiplayer game
Hey! Unfortunately none of my tutorials are for multiplayer and are not setup for replication.
its ok they are still great ,learned alot,gratefull hope u make for multiplayer too
oh nice! I love these videos... Would love to see the UI widget universe get more love. So many possible learning paths
thank you, this was loads of help :)
Hey, thank you so much for this tutorial. I wonder at 1:01:00 The stacked popup menu... You prevented it to be clicked through by setting the visibility of the top overlay to Visible. In my example it works in the same way (UI_PopupExample), but I'm still able to navigate to the preceding widget (UI_Main) with the gamepad and focus its buttons. Do you have an idea on how to prevent the navigation of the stacked Activatable widget from jumping to the subordinate widget (e.g. when jumping from the ‘Print’ button to one of the tab buttons in the subordinate UI_Main)?
Sorry for the delay! Typically you can prevent this from deactivating the previous widget however because the popup was actually associated with the widget, we couldn’t deactivate the other widget. In order to solve this, you would need the popup stack to me associated with the main widget. That way when you deactivate the menu, it would stop the ability of focusing on the background widgets. Would be happy to explain a bit more in my discord if you need some further explanation on how to set that up!
Hi, I now prevented the navigation of the Popup widget from going outside by just setting the navigation rule of the widget default settings to stop instead of escape. This way the gamepad-focus stays in the popup.
@@hamimseater Ah! Thanks for sharing how you ended up getting it to work.
I watched this and your Common UI complete guide and still have my ps4 controller unable to navigate menus. It works in-game but as soon a I enter a menu it won't interact/navigate. I can press a button and have the game recognize that a controller is being used and it will focus on the button I set to be focused on but no matter what button I press or how much I move the thumbsticks, nothing happens. I noticed that when you designated gamepad inputs it would use Gamepad ------, but when I designated an input with my controller it would use GenericUSBController ------- instead. If I tried to manually set a gameplay action to Gamepad -------, it would not work in-game. That is the only difference I could see, but I have no clue why this would be causing my controller to not be able to navigate menus at all. Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a solution to my problem
Hm there could be many possibilities but common problems are these. The first thing to check which is most common is that if you have input actions that are using the controller inputs keys which are consuming the buttons, this can cause UI data table to not work due to the enhanced input actions. You can try to make sure that the input mode is set to UI Only and see if there is any difference. Other potential is that your project settings are not configured correctly. If the controller data is not properly setup then it will not work. I would also recommend to double check all the settings options Input Data, GameViewport and ControllerData. If you still run into issues, I'd recommend joining the discord so you can provide screenshots/video of your settings and widgets so the community can help troubleshoot a bit more.
also as just a recommendation, I'd recommend setting up enhanced input actions for common ui. It's ultimately a better system than the data table. ua-cam.com/video/17nARa4jruc/v-deo.html
Very nice content
I wish ue would make a ue for beginners that removes most of the nodes and just gives you the most basic ones and so you can learn to use them and then gradually gave you more nodes as you used the nodes you started with. I always feel so overwhelmed when I look at the list of possible nodes. lol I only know what a few of them actually do.
Definitely! There should be a beginner editor to help slowly introduce sections, that would be amazing to see. UE is just so overwhelming in the beginning for too many people.
You deserve more subscribers, there is not enough tutorials on common ui, really god job man. I will go thru all your videos ;)
Thank you :) I'm always trying to learn more about Common Ui so I can keep the community aware. As long as my videos prove some use to other developers it doesn't matter how many subs i have. Appreciate the support 👻
Hey, tyvm for the tutorial! Great info. My only problem is that I need a reverse communication, from the list view widget to the Entry widget (besides the initial one through the creation/Event On List Item Object Set. I was hoping during the 52min you will make a reference about how to do that, but no luck :( I can't seem to find a way to call functions that exist in the entry widget from the list view widget...
So sorry for the long wait on the reply! You can get the tab button by going into your widget for the tablist and use the nodes “get tab button base by ID” and “get tab id at index” or use the “get active tab” option. There are a couple nodes you can use to get the buttons or a specific tab you want to use :)
@@MrButiier tyvm!
the UI_PopupExample should check "Is Modal", which will avoid open button trigger again in gamepad, checked Stop Action seems no use
That’s super useful and just in time for building my inventory system :)
I will be very interested in seeing how you have done your system. I have worked on this for numerous projects. I am partial to the GameplayTag approach.
Ultimately, I built this for those without coding knowledge so they have an approach to handle stats easier. I personally would go with GAS and modify it to my needs since it has alot of the functionality built already. A friend of mine that im working on a project with has made some pretty nice custom nodes to make blueprints easier for us while using GAS so there's definitely alot out there people could do, but im not ready to share the code on this yet :)
I can't believe it takes 3 hours in UE5 to do something like this,if you were to make your own engine it would just be a matter of attaching a struct to the player's entity object, like quite literally a minute.
Within blueprints it’s quite the effort, however unreal engine has a plugin you can just turn on that does the same but requires c++ to set up so if you’re talented enough to make an engine then you know how to code enough to setup the plugin lol
It doesn't really take 3 hours. It takes about an hour, maybe 90 minutes. Shorter if you know what you are doing. Need to remember that a lot of explanation went into the video, thus making it very long.
Domo arigato Monsieur Butier...this is fire your efforts are highly appreciated
Thank you! That means a lot, glad I can provide this to the community and excited to see how people will use it.
This is fantastic, so glad to see this channel and the discord community growing I'll be coming back soon, or maybe I'll wait to 5.5 but this is def gonne be my first stop when I do, Keep it up man, you're awsome!
Appreciate it man. You’re definitely missed in the discord, looking forward to you coming back and seeing the Ui you end up creating 🔥
Awesome! I love this channel. Content that matters
Always appreciate the support you give in my vids man!
I am experimenting on a combination of GAS and a custom component for stats, XP and leveling up. I’ll watch this when I get home cause it might help me
Thanks for taking a look! While you may not need to structure/stats setup within this component, the functions and general concept should be insightful on how you could setup the Attributes within GAS. Although if you know c++, you could minimize the length of alot of these functions 😉
@MrButiier do you know GAS?
@@Drachir08 I do, I wouldn't say I'm an expert but this is basically a simplified blueprint replacement. If you understand enough c++ to use GAS then I would still recommend GAS since its built from Epic however this video can still teach the "how" on setting up related stats/scaling etc. 😉
❤ found it! :)
Luckily you didn't even have to wait a full 24 hours 🤩
@@MrButiier I know it! lol I tried to modify the last one as I was building it to work a little different and I almost got it working right. This one seems like it will work almost exactly how I was trying to set up the other one.
Haha! Exactly why I tried to push you to this one, hope you enjoy the video!
@@MrButiierI certainly am. I’ve almost made it through it. I’m so glad you made it in chapters because it gave me a few good stopping points to get a few errands done
@@GrumpyGillsFishing Honestly, really happy to hear that. I did my best to make this video very similar to how a "course" would set things up so people wouldn't have to sit and watch 3 hours straight and not know where to find things.
So in my stat widget I’m going to try to include attribute points that you can spend on the “primary stats” instead of having them based off your level. I think I can do it by subtracting 1 from the attribute point stat and adding 1 to the chosen “primary stat”. Not sure if it’s gonna work that easy yet but in theory it sounds right
Yeah that is definitely possible and it is about as simple as you stated, you’re able to subtract from attribute points and then when attribute is zero then just disable whatever buttons you have set etc. it’s covered a bit ahead of this video but it’s great to see you basically skipping ahead without knowing you are 😂
@@MrButiieroh sweet! I had no idea you were going to cover it. I’m having an issue maybe you could help me figure out. I’ll try to keep this short. I’m starting health is 10.3, I add a point into vitality it should go up to 10.6 but instead it goes to 10.9 and then when I level up it goes back down to 10.6. That happens every time I add a point into vitality. I’m not sure what’s going on.
So if I wanted I could make a primary stat for attribute points, and use those as a way to increase?
yep! You can have a stat that is used to as attribute points. I believe i cover this in part 6 of this series however I also have a new Stat System coming out tomorrow to the public! It simplifies this series immensely, adds more functionality and puts it all together in 1 video instead of a multipart series. I highly recommend to check out that video when it releases tomorrow or join the membership to get access now. Either way, the new system will be much better.
@@MrButiieroh man I can’t wait!
for some reason some of my collectables delete themselves after i save and load but when i start collecting more they dont delete themselfs anymore
ok it seems to break when i save it and laod the game when im not looking at them
It sounds like your delete function isn't properly being called at the beginning of opening the level. In this video i do that within the Game Instance which occurs when the game starts, I'd recommend trying to call the remove function within the level blueprint at the beginning of the level and see if that changes anything. However as far as the system breaking when not looking at them, this system I made in the video doesn't use any type of perception of sight so that would not impact anything unless its specifically a game mechanic of your game.
Wow never seem this one before ! Very very nice ty
If you know you are going to have 100s of different characters/creatures is it better to do it with a struct and data table vs Data assets?
It depends on the intended use honestly, either or could be suitable however data assets may be easier to utilize to spawn creatures into the world so you don’t have to iterate through a data table with hundreds of lines. However like I said it depends on the “how” you use them
@@MrButiier yeah a bit to tricky to describe here.. with how I intend to use this. I will take it to the Discord server. Been enjoying the video playlists.
@@RoeJogan Oh great to have you join the discord! Glad you're enjoying the playlists, I spent some time 3 weeks ago adjusting all the playlists videos so i did it just in time for you haha
These are so great! There was just one thing that made it confusing.... Whats the deal with red squares on the event nodes? And there is one with some other icon..like it needs power or something
Ooo! Those red dots tie into a feature called "Event Dispatchers", when you bind an event to another event. That is slightly more advanced than what this video wanted to cover.
