Hovering over a button displays info?

What I am trying to do is when I hover over a certain button, it’ll show whatever details I decide. For example I hover over a button for a gun and it will show the dps the reload etc. How do I do this? I know you can add a tooltip, that’s not what I’m looking for. Also i know it needs to start with being fired from the on hover event.

Make a second separate widget, which will be a generic tooltip widget.

Have text blocks for DPS and reload, and bind the text contents to a text variable which is set to be editable and exposed on spawn.

Then on the hover event for your button do something like this:

This has nodes setting it to the cursor’s position, you may or may not want to do that, but this should give you some idea as a starting point.

You’d be surprised how quickly one can find what they’re after.

hey
if you use button, it has tool tip option by default.

  1. select your button
  2. in details panel search for tooltip
  3. add static or dynamic tool tips
