sorry for my use of the word thingy but i couldnt think of a word for the things you use to make a UI in UE
but i was wondering if there is a thing i can do to center say a text box in the editor?
and if there isnt PLEASE add this feature it will make UI making easier and alot less time consuming
Anchor that sucker. In UMG it’s at the top right of the details of whatever thingy you’re editing.
no but doing in the actual editor not when the game is run i like to have things neat and i already do that because you have to
I’m with you about 2%. Can you elaborate a bit on what it is you’re wanting and how you’re currently trying to achieve it?
okay well basically im creating a UI using UMG okay
and i have a bunch of text and UI elements but need a easy way to center them
on the screen instead of taking the resolution subtracting the size of the UI element from it then dividing by 2 toget the position i need to put it at for it tobe centered
Then yeah, Anchors will do exactly what you’re needing. Select the element in question from the Designer tab in UMG, and at the top right you’ll see the anchor option. Create an anchor. You’ll see options with a lil white square. This is where the element will be anchored to: a corner, a side, the top or bottom, or the center. A little flower thing will appear in the Designer graph. This is where your anchor is. Your element will retain its on screen position in relation to its anchor. For simple testing, make a center anchor, and put your element in the center. Try it with a few different positions to really get the feel of it.
Let me know if this does what you’re wanting!
