Hello,

Does Anyone Know How to Make an Animated Loading Screen in Blueprint Project? The only thing I can find is either use level streaming or you have to have a C++ project.

I had read that someone said you could make a HUD with animated material that is based off a widget BP class and that could be used as a loading screen and I tried that but it froze when loading. E-mailed the guy but never received a reply back. There is a loading asset on the Marketplace but it only works with streaming levels.

Thank you,
John

I have put an animated material in the BP widget and it worked fine for me. What version of the engine are you using? Are you still needing this solved?

Thank you for the reply, I was able to get Nick’s plug-in to work and now it has an animated screen while loading the level. Can you explain how you were able to get animated material to work on BP Widget, that is amazing! Does the material animate while the level is actually loading or does it freeze when the level is loading?

Sorry for the late reply, but I will see if I can remember how I did it and will post a screenshot if I end up getting it to work again.

I couldn’t get it to work. But at least you have a way to do it. I’ll have to check out that plug in you used.
