How To make an interactive phone?

adir89457 · July 21, 2018, 10:26am

Hey everyone, I recently came up with an idea for a game and I really want to implement an interactive phone system, like in Nighttime Visitor (attached image) or in GTA V.

How do I approach this?
If you know how to or know any tutorial online please let me know! (I couldnt find any tutorials since every search with key word “phone” came up with mobile game dev tutorials)

Thanks for any help

It looks like a job for the Widget Component. It’s essentially a 3d menu.

Hello!

Just add a widget component to your phone actor!
This will draw your widget in 3d space.

Can you please explain how you achieved it?(i know nothing about widgets but I’m only making a side project not a game.) I just want to know the same thing about the phone of gta v at the bottom right corner
