I want to pull up a Virtual Keyboard and have the player write a letter, I could not find any tools for this, is it possible?

Hey there @LightWizzard! Welcome to the community! Generally virtual keyboards are usually done using UMG. If you’d rather have a tangible example, here’s a video from a VR developer that goes over his implementation a bit, and I believe offers the source! You would need to change it a bit for non VR games.

That is what I was looking for, thanks, I am bad at forming questing for google, I only was able to find out about the Unreal Editor used to build it, and not the game itself.

Thanks
