Common UI is consuming Bottom Face Button inputs (UE 5.4)

Hi,

I am running into an interesting problem where my User Widgets no longer recognize “Gamepad Bottom Face Button” when I have UI inputs enabled for a focused widget (even if the widget is a non Common UI inherited widget).

I’ve managed to link the issue to use of Common UI in the project, where if I have the Game viewport Client Class to be set to the one recommended by Common UI, I can no longer use the “Gamepad Bottom Face Button”.

This is how I am testing to see if I am getting inputs to my User Widget class:

UnrealEditor_qIuNfgQJQJ1044×605 65.1 KB

The print log above prints every single button on the gamepad, except for the Bottom face button.

I am in a situation where I need the user to “Press A” without a button or a selectable UI item. Is there a way to prevent Common UI from consuming the button?

Any help is appreciated!

I have the same issue, sadly.

My best guess is you’ve set it as a generic input and its working as intended.

Standard practice is to set face bottom button as an Accept button. You will set it as a Generic input in the metadata. Set it as a generic Click Event in your input data. Now Common UI will consume the input and essentially use it as a mouse click.
