Hey, so I have a canvas panel for a widget, and a button that toggles between a full screen and tiny in corner state. I have the Canvas Panel set to a variable, but there doesn’t seem to be any actions for resizing it. I can get the render transform, but there’s, like, 0 actions that use that. Anyone have any suggestions on how I do this?

You make a custom widget by extending UUserWidget in c++, guide here:

The UUserWidget class has a method to set size so you could do something like this:

UFUNCTION()  
void  UYourWidget::OnClick(){  
  float ScreenWidth = ...;  
  float ScreenHeight = ...;  
  this ->SetDesiredSizeInViewport(FVector2D(ScreenWidth, ScreenHeight));  
}
