Hello all,
I am currently trying to make a menu similar to dark souls - where you navigate it using the D-Pad whilst the analog stick still controls your character. Currently it ‘works’ except moving the character also moves the current focused widget button. I am wondering if there is a way to stop the UMG widget from using any input from the analog sticks.
Hope someone can help and thank you in advance!
Did you find a solution?
I am also interested for a solution on this topic.
Couple years down the line, but hopefully still valid for someone.
Thank you, I found a solution for this problem by filtering the input key in the “Key Up overide”
When I use this it makes the analog stop for the character. Is there a way to make it do the opposite? I just want the the character to move with the analog stick and the widget UI to be controlled with only the dpad.
Did you find a solution?
Did you find any solution to this?
I’ve recently wanted to do similar to the OP. It seems the intended way to accomplish this is deriving a struct from FNavigationConfig and registering it with the FSlateApplication using FSlateApplication::SetNavigationConfig. This approach allowed me to easily modify gamepad navigation behavior at runtime.
Could You Please teach me how did you do that ? Because just by your explanation i could’nt make it to work! Many Thanks!
The solution mentioned by @jbl4ir essentially works.
Here’s how I’ve done it - I created a function that accesses the NavigationConfig from FSlateApplication, and setts the bAnalogNavigation to true/false.
#include "Framework/Application/NavigationConfig.h"
void AMyPlayerController::ToggleThumbstickUiNavigation(bool ThumbstickNavigationEnabled) {
if (FSlateApplication::IsInitialized()) {
TSharedRef<FNavigationConfig> currentNavConfig = FSlateApplication::Get().GetNavigationConfig();
currentNavConfig->bAnalogNavigation = ThumbstickNavigationEnabled;
FSlateApplication::Get().SetNavigationConfig(currentNavConfig);
}
}
