As question implies, I’ve got no way of removing UMG assets in 4.6 at moment as it seems Remove from Viewport has been removed (Yes, even when “Context Sensitive” is off).
I’ve tried this in an actor blueprint, UMG, Player Controller and Level Blueprint. Tried using Compact Blueprint Library, dragging from “Create Widget” and tried from after “Add to Viewport” but node seems to have completely vanished.
Hi Kitatus,
‘Remove from Viewport’ node has been replaced with ‘Remove from Parent’ in 4.6 Preview and beyond. Hope that helps!
I have let documentation team know that we should update that page to mention new method in 4.6 (UE-6195). Thanks for pointing that out!
Remove from parent doesn’t work!!!
All button in widget blueprint cannot be removed after click: “Play Game”.
Except I click “Quit Game”, all button is removed.
Something wrong here.
Hi gOzaru84,
Can you give us some more details on your setup? An image of your UMG graph might be helpful, and any details on what you are trying to achieve and under what circumstances in particular this doesn’t work. Thanks!
Uhm… this is my level BP
This is my UMG:
map for startup is MapGreek and same one when I called in UMG.
Why does it every time I click to “Play Game”, it always redisplay UMG?
I want to run MapGreek when button “Play Game” is clicked.
Is there something wrong with my setup?
I called MainMenu_BP as reference object which is named as “MainMenu”
It’s likely that your variable reference to MainMenu_BP, MainMenu, isn’t valid. How and where are you setting that reference? It should work if you just let Target of Remove from Parent node be self.
I think I was not wrong.
It is a reference object of MainMenu_Bp.
Is it because I use same map for Start-up and Open-Level???
Because it is same.
uhm I already know answer.
In 4.5 if you point same map, UMG will disappear.
But in 4.6, you don’t need to open same level as it already open.
Just add “Remove From Parent” in Widget blueprint, and it would do trick.
Thank you for your assistance .
Glad you got it working!
Additionally, in image you posted above, you don’t have a Default Value set for your Main Menu variable. You have it set as Type “Main Menu BP”, but that just means it can hold a value of that type. If you want to use this variable, you still need to assign a value to it, just as you would an Integer or Float.
So I think you could still do it way you were doing it if you wanted, but you’d first need to find a specific reference to Main Menu BP (using Get All Actors of Class) and then assign it to Main Menu variable.
Yes, reason menu doesn’t disappear is because Start-up map and level map have same name.
EventBeginplay will be cast when you click on “play”, then when you click on level button.
Change startup map on your project settings in “maps n modes” toggle and it should be fine.
To test it. Try to change "event Begin play " of your level print by any key to see if it works.
I hope it’ll help someone!
