FlipBook and widgets

Hey there,

How would you use a paper 2D flip book inside of a widget?

I need an animation to play one time when I click a button inside of a widget.

Thanks for reading.

Hey there, fellow 2d people. I THINK I’ve stumbled upon an answer. Unfortunately I cannot find nodes that literally just says “Play video/Flip-book once in an image slot”.

SO excitedly, after 10 hours, I think I’ve come up with a solution.

  1. I’m going to do an animation in unreal to robotically fold away the buttons. So they No longer exist after an option is chosen.

Why? I’m doing this so when I do the next step, the difference in devices means it won’t affect the overall look of what I want with buttons being all over the place.

  1. I’m going to convert my flip-book animation into a mp4 and play it once the buttons are gone.

Why? I’m doing it after the buttons are gone, as now I don’t have constraints of trying to match button locations with the mp4. Once the flip-book is converted to a mp4 it’s a video and I won’t be able to mess with it.

OMgurd its so satisfying…Unreal is just one big puzzle game lol.

Hopefully this helps someone out there. Go get em tiger ;p
