Gta V type of phone in unreal engine?

I’m sorry if I posted this is in the wrong forum due to not having much experience on any forums. So on to the topic at hand, essentially I would like to know if it’s possible to make the phone menu and being able to interact with different features as they are in GTA V. No I am not making a GTA V kind of game but I would like to know how the phone menu would be achievable.

You’re in the right place. This has been asked before but since there are millions of questions here, finding something can be a pain in the neck at times. I answered a question about the very same thing and I can’t find it myself :expressionless:

Anyhow, yes, it’s very doable. UE4 has UMG widgets which are essentially small chunks of reusable user interface functionality - buttons, borders, lists and so on. Once you have a 2d version ready, you can then display it on a 3d mesh via a widget component you add to the world or actors as usual.

If you’re super new to all this, search for some UMG tutorials on how to create widgets (unless you can learn from docs directly) and then for Widget Components - those two keywords will be essential here.

Good luck and if you get stuck, just come back.

Ah, there’s it is:

Although, it’s probably not too helpful but the link in there takes you to Widget Components documentation.

Thank you for the reply and the information is much appreciated. I’ll be looking into it and if anything I am having difficulties on, I will surely come back. Again, thank you.
