Hi ,

I am creating a basic menu using Slate and blueprint , but I am unable to create a button with custom shape , say a button in the shape of ellipse. Suppose I create a button using the below xaml template in WPF

        <Button.Style>
            <Style TargetType="Button">
                <Setter Property="Template">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
                            <Border Background="#FF6C6C6C" CornerRadius="4"/>
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
        </Button.Style>
    </Button>

See the cornerradius is 4 so it means my button is not exacly rectangular here

How to achieve similar result using blueprint(preferably) or C++ ?

In yourHUD blueprint add a hitbox (and events for it) and a drawMaterialSimple in the same location, and plug a material with a texture in unlit>emissive which looks like an ellipse into it. Use .png for the texture for easy handling of opacity. After your receivedrawhud event, use a bool branch to control exposure of the button.
