Blueprint Dialogue System

Hey,

I’ve been in and out of game design for a while now, unfortunately. Now I’m back and I’m eager to delve deeper into your system. I’ve got a question for you.

So, out of the box I don’t see any way to control where the “interaction print” appears when you approach something that can be interacted with (that is to say, a Chosen Usable). By default the print string appears directly on top of the actor’s root, whatever that may be. (Usually a Scene Root.) This doesn’t really look very good for more complicated actors, though.

This isn’t a problem, exactly, but aesthetically speaking it rubs me the wrong way. How would I go about controlling this?

Hi Cinebeast,
How I handle this is by implementing the BPI_Usable interface and it’s “CustomNotificationLocation” (I’m not fond of the name, but there it is). The implementation of the ‘print string’ is not meant to be production ready in the sample code, it’s just debug text.
