Hi,
following this tutorial, I created a loading screen for my game. However, as one comment mentions, this is only a fake loading screen, which is not bound to the actual loading time. A nice person (TheMrgrr) was so kind to provide a solution for that, however I haven’t been able to implement what he says. Could someone show me, what he means?
Solved it by myself, question can be closed.
Could you explain? I saw the comment and I am struggling to make a loading screen.
Sure, it’s actually quite simple:
I’m assuming, you want to load from a level into another. Create a widget blueprint and customize the look, in my example I just added a text block, that says ‘Loading…’

Now, in your GameInstance create two new variables, I called them Loading (boolean), set it to false by default and LevelSelected (Name) and make them editable.
In your widget blueprint add this blueprint logic:

In my case, I’m calling the loading screen, when a button in a menu is pressed, so here is the blueprint logic for that button:

Finally, add this logic to the level you want to load into:

That should be about it! Note, that i did this with Unreal Engine 4.7.6 and this is probably a naive approach, but for my purposes, it’s working fine. If you have further questions, let me know!
Thanks a bunch it works
