Hello I’m making a casual game and I’m new at ue. I wanted to add a icons to ai characters like their orders and show their reactions how can I do that?

In your Actor Blueprint, add a Billboard Component:

Then change the billboard texture to your icons using some scripting.

Notice that billboards will be always facing the camera, what looks like to be the behavior you want.

If you want your icons to turn around with your character rotations, add a Widget Component to your Actor Blueprint

And code a widget to show the icons.
