Environment: UE 4.6.0, Developing on Mac for mobile, Blueprints
Using “Draw Material Simple” node in blueprint on HUD draws correctly for Mobile Preview. When viewing on mobile device (iPhone 5S tested), it appears to make the 0 position of the Y coordinate at the bottom of the screen.
Note the ScreenX and ScreenY variables were set from the Size X and Size Y of the Event On Draw HUD.
Note…Mobile Preview is good. Mobile Device is not. Using the same math (see in blueprint), it draws a Text, “Shields” in the correct position on device. Also, textures appear to draw in correct position. I have only found bug with Draw Material Simple (using the M_HUD_HEALTH_BAR material from the Example Contents)
Health Bar and Text (Shields) should both be at the bottom of the screen: Size Y - 25.
Thank you for reporting this issue. I am going to need a bit more information from you on this issue. I have attempted a repro of this issue and have been unsuccessful so far. Would you able to clarify which device you are using to deploy this project to? Is there a quick way using template project where i may be able to reproduce this issue? Also, Would you be willing to provide more photos or even the project so that I may be able to reproduce this issue internally? You can send them to me in a private message in the Forums here: https://forums.unrealengine.com/member.php?4890-Sean-Gribbin
Any additional information would be greatly appreciated
Just wanted to check in with you and see if you had a chance to create a project that can replicate the issue that you have been seeing. No rush on it if you have not.
Looking at the screenshots above, there isn’t a UMG widget displaying on the screen. So, I’m not sure how an anchor would be set. I do use UMG to display the Pause menu when you tap the Pause button (top right), but the button is drawn through HUD. I also come into this map from a screen that had UMG widget displayed, so that may be part of it as well.
I think it is the Draw Material Simple node that is the problem when drawing the HUD. It displays normally (Y = 0 is at the top of the screen) in Mobile Preview, but backwards (Y = 0 at bottom of screen) on Mobile Device.
I have created a demo project and been able to reproduce this problem there.
To be perfectly clear (because I was thinking the problem was fixed), the Draw Material Simple node of the HUD works fine when playing on the Mobile Preview, but when you play it on an iOS device (iPhone 5S in my case), the Y coordinate switches to the bottom of the screen.
I’ll be glad to send you a link to the project on Dropbox if you can let me know how to PM it to you.
Thank you for taking the time to create a project in which this issue occurs. You can send me a private message via the Forums. Here is a link to my personal profile: https://forums.unrealengine.com/member.php?4890-Sean-Gribbin . You can just link to there in a message and I will begin looking into the issue.
Thank you again for sharing a test project with me via the forums. I have tested out this project and have been able to see the error that you have been talking about. I have also tested this issue out on a newer promoted internal build and the issue is no longer occurring. I am unsure as to when this fix will be implemented into a release build but the issue is no longer occurring. I will be sure to revisit this thread when i know more information.
