[Full Project] 's UMG Rebindable Key System, Rebind keys at Runtime!

Reminder about this free Key Rebinding project that I did for you all!

Why Am I Giving This For Free?

Because its really important feature for any game and I just finished figuring out how to do it for Solus.

I figured you would enjoy it as well, since it was honestly not that easy to do, and I had to really think about how to do both the UMG and the actual C++ code to dynamically update action mappings during runtime

Hey ,

Any plans on updating this plugin to 4.6.1? :smiley:

Edit: Nevermind, just found this! lr87zPbki_4

Thank you!

Diat Funa: I have the same problem with my character continuing to move when I open my inventory if he is already moving. What is the fix for that? Thanks!

24

Does anyone know if this can be done inside UMG or, alternatively, if I do it in C++, how do I make it work with UMG?

25

This is really awesome, thanks !

26

broken for 4.6?

Another great resource by!

Hello guys,

I have a newbie question.
On 4.6.1 Engine version, I’m trying to handle the blueprint function on UMG called OnKeyDown to retrieve and promote variable “Key Event” and the use’s functions.
However I can’t find the way to trigger the function. There is something wrong by my side?

Thanks in advance!

Resolved, I called “Set Input Mode UIOnly” :slight_smile:

Is there a way to get the updated input axis version?

31

I have been having trouble getting this to work for my game and have thus had to put keybinding on the backburner for now. Anytime I try to get a key press it immediately assumes the space bar and nothing else. Really strange.

32

I have this working on Unreal Engine 4.7. It took a few minor fixes so I made a quick video to help anyone else looking for answers. Oh and thanks again. Please add a donate button!

Oh and by the way, I’m wondering about a default set. Any ideas on how to set some default values (to restore to)?

34

Thanks Tom! (my record for most-timely-response I think)

Thanks again!
The desktop background was created by my seven year old niece while I was teaching her photoshop. I love it (even despite the comic sans).
The Anime girl was a joke between my Nephew (he suggested boobs in the thumbnail to get noticed), I kind of regret that one haha.

37

Well to be honest the hot girl was my favorite part, along with the Rainbow Toolbar!

:slight_smile:

38

, is there a way with this system to support binding multiple keys to the same action? e.g. both LMB and the F key fire a gun? I know the opposite is doable (e.g. F key does both fire and reload) and I know UE4 supports multiple action bindings, but it appears the Victory Key struct only takes a single key struct in per named InputAction?

39

This is a great idea! When I get around to updating this project properly, I can check out your request!

Anyone remind me I said this in about 2 weeks :slight_smile:
