A way to convert UMG Widget to SWidget

Hello,

I wanted to create my loading screen (following answer from this thread : How do I make a Loading Screen? - World Creation - Epic Developer Community Forums), but the problem is that the FLoadingScreenAttributes is a SWidget value, so my question is : Is there a way to convert a UMG widget created in editor into Slate widget that would fit into SWidget class ?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Nope, there is no way to do that. It would be much easier to tweak/extend FLoadingScreenAttributes so it takes UUserWidget as an argument and ‘extract’ SWidget out of it.

Just wondering, it’s been over a year, any good alternative? I tried tweaking/extending FLoadingScreenAttributes and it was just a massive pain, I just gave up lol
