Hey guys,
I’m fairly new to UE4 so I wanted to see if I can get some help on something that I wanted to create. I was just looking on YT if I could find a note system so that i can learn how to store text/pictures in a little journal, but i just can’t seem to find the right one. All the tutorials I find are about temporary picking up notes that are stationary. What I’d like to know is how I can set up a note system where i can pick up a note that is then stored inside a simple widget (journal) that i can open with a key and then read through all the notes that I’ve collected. It doesn’t need to have fancy animations, just the ability to store different kind of notes and browse/scroll through them. Does anybody know a solution and be so kind and explain it to me?
hmm… this is easy but this may be a little confusing for you, knowing that you are fairly new.
Tell me these things first:
Can a note contain both image and text?
Do you know how to pickup the items?
Do you know how to save a variable?
“Can a note contain both image and text?” - If you want to know if I’d like to make a note with a text or image: I’m not entirely sure. I guess it would be better to use a picture of the written text to scale it up properly with different resolutions.
“Do you know how to pickup items?” - Yes, I do.
“Do you know how to save a variable?” - Kind of. I’m getting a bit confused which things I need to do in which blueprint/savegame/etc.
