Hello, I have used the basic tutorials on how to make a Temple Run like game from Unreal Engine (Link: Endless Runner: Overview & Player Control | 01 | v4.7 Tutorial Series | Unreal Engine - YouTube , unfortunately they do not show how to add in main menu’s and other stuff.
Anyways I used this site to help step me through making a main menu, the differences is I am making a third person temple run like game and not a first person shooter, I was given extra coding to use that would spawn 9 blocks in front of my player as it is constantly running so that the game can have an endless feature to it.

Guide I used to help me create a main menu: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/UMG/QuickStart/3/index.html

This is my coding, I don’t know what’s wrong with it, I tried a few things but nothing worked to make my game start when you click the button “Play Game.”

Also another thing I have noticed that isn’t working is the resolution coding, I don’t know if I didn’t spell it correctly or it just isn’t showing in the software but I have a feeling that isn’t working either.

Resolution Coding: (Below)

Attempting to answer your question live: Twitch

Update: So, I started a new blank project. I did your code and Main Menu + the play button worked. I was able to open a new level and move the character there.

So, after you move though, you removed the widget, which is fine, however, anything called after that (other than print string soon after) will not execute because it is now out of scope.

Laymen’s terms: you killed your main menu and expected it to execute more stuff for you.

As for your setres console commands, they will not work inside Editor PIE, you can however use it in New Editor PIE or Standalone.

You are a life saver, thank you very much for your help.
My main issue was that I hadn’t created a level for the main menu. Once I did that and adjusted the coding to fit how it was meant to it worked perfectly fine. Once again thank you so much for your help.
