EASY TO USE AND INTEGRATE IN ANY PROJECT!

Viewport Widget allows user to create a separate Widget World and render it as UI element while still playing game in Main World. Simple properties are used to setup view position and fill Widget World with Actors. This can be very useful for 3D Scene with light and environment setup that is totally different from Main 3D Scene (i.e. Inventory Items, Character with Equipment, etc).

ENJOY!

TECHNICAL NOTES

CLASSES:

• SViewportWidget (Slate)

• UViewportWidget (UMG)

Both classes can be used in the very same way as any other Slate or UMG widget. EACH INSTANCE OF SViewportWidget CREATES NEW World.

PROPERTIES:

• [ViewTransform] - view position (i.e. Camera position)

• [Entries] - collection of data used to spawn Actors in Widget World. Every item of collection has ActorClassPtr property to setup class to spawn and SpawnTransform property to setup spawn position.

After Actors are spawned, you can access any of them via [GetSpawnedActor] method of UViewportWidget.
