Any advice on Stationary Tooltips on mousehover?

Hi all,

So I’m starting to research and trying to find a solution for making tool tips that are in a fixed position when I mouse hover over an inventory slot. Currently I just have standard implementation like everyone else and the tool tip works just fine on hover and end hover, but it moves with the cursor. I would prefer to be able to have it somehow anchored to the inventory slot. Are there any tools, specifically in UE 4.27.2 that can handle this? I’m light on solutions. Thanks.

not sure if there is a better way but you can always just create your own widget as a tooltip on hover and place it wherever you want, it also means you can reuse the same widget and just update its location

How would I do that? I ended up making a widget and drawing it on my HUD but I only have one position variable. I’m not sure how I would alter it at runtime nor how I could make it reference the various inventory slots as the relative position to index off of. Here is my graph such that it is. I thought I might be able to assign a Menu Anchor Widget but that didn’t seem to do anything. I’m not sure how to get the physical location of the inventory slot widget’s absolute location so I can program so way to offset it.

Figured it out. I basically had to get the location of the slot widget and create an offset from that on mouse hover. I would be interested in making something a little smarter that would use a different offset based on the proximity to screen edge……..but for now this works. Logic looks like this:
