Summary

There does not seem to be any options to place text/images over buttons without blocking input on those buttons. In Unreal Editor there are 5 visiblity options including “Not Hit-Testable (Self & All Children)” and “Not Hit-Testable (Self Only)” but UEFN only has widget_visibility{ Visible, Collapsed, Hidden}. As a result any images in front of buttons also blocks hover by mouse and are selection using controller.

SetEnabled(false) does not allow input to go through text/textures

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create a overlay with a button and text/texture (where the button is under the text).
  • Observe button cannot be clicked through text/texture

Expected Result

Support for text/images over buttons without them blocking button input. Adding “Not Hit-Testable” would allow this behavior.

Observed Result

Text/images over buttons will make the buttons unusable.

Platform(s)

Windows (Mouse and Controller)
