Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

UMG widget button needs arrow input before focus

0

So I'm trying to make a menu system that uses the keyboard or gamepad. For the most part, it works, you can highlight a button and select it. My issue is, when I first open the menu, my widget doesn't get keyboard focus until I press the down arrow on the keyboard. This results in you skipping the first button on the menu, but pressing the up arrow afterwards allows you to highlight and select it. This is when you first open the menu: alt text

This is after you press the down arrow: alt text and then when you press up:alt text I have tried using set InputMode but that just yields the same results. I can't work out if this is a bug or if this is just down to me not using the functions correctly, the blue print I'm using for my menu widget is below. Any help would be much appriciatedalt text

I have this exact same issue, but I can't seem to solve it.

Edit: completely misread, my apologies, thought arrow was 'mouse arrow'. However, I still think this may yield some assistance towards resolution.

Ah, yes, I had fun trying to figure this one out myself with my inventory system. Took me a while too, but this is what ultimately worked, regardless of how bizarre it may seem haha.

Now I've included everything that I use to display and hide my inventory system, so most of this may be unrelated, however, I included it just in case. The main one I think you will need is the first image, the Widget BP Nodes.

Hopefully this helps in some way!

Thanks for your input but unfortunately I've been unable to yield any results :( I've tried messing around with the is focusable bool but it seems sort of redundant since I already have is focusable ticked in the details panel.

Try calling SetUserFocus and sending the GetPlayerController to that node, after setting keyboard focus in your Construct event.

No good, just gave me the same result.

Try going to Play -> Advanced Settings -> and make sure the first option (Game Gets Mouse Control) is set to true.

avatar image Icepaw Apr 30 '18 at 07:49 PM

It's set to true now and coupled with your other suggestion but still no change :/
