How can I make a touch button?

Benjiko99, I have a question, since I cannot get mine to work:

Once you add the collision box in the Blueprint…how does that get into the actual scene?

Or, once you add the render text in the Blueprint…how does THAT get into the actual scene?

Do you know of an online tutorial that shows this? It seems like it should be completely easy, but I’ve been working on it for almost three days, and can’t even click on an object!

Thanks.

All the blueprint components will be spawned when you spawn the blueprint. They will essentially be one actor that contains all the other actors (components).

Ahhhh, thank you! Now I understand why all of the tappy chicken components appear as one actor in the main scene! I was completely confused. Thanks so much for giving me that clue, so now I will hopefully figure out the next steps! I’m so very happy right now.

Michael,
Did you have to create any other Blueprints besides:

  1. Main actor blueprint
  2. GameMode Blueprint
  3. Player Controller Blueprint

I believe I’ve followed this thread a half dozen times and still haven’t successfully created a clickable box (or anything else!).

I guess this isn’t the best tutorial to be following :smiley: we had some problems getting it to work too, not sure if we wrote all the steps to fix the problems in here, i dont really think that i can help you anytime soon.

I just followed the tutorial in my project and it works for me, you have to follow whats said in the comments too. I hope there was nothing already set in my project that i forgot to write here.

Thanks Benjiko, you actually did help me gain more understanding of how to set up a blueprint and bring it into my main level, the way they did in Tappy Chicken, so I appreciate that very much!

Of course! As soon as I said, “this doesn’t work for me”, I went through all of the steps “again”, and I did get it to work for me!!!

Okay, this is cool. I’m happy!!! If I can get the first button to function the way I want, I will definitely create a video tutorial.

(I’m porting a psychological card test to tablet to give to Lemurs at our local Science Center, to see if they can pass the test!)

Just got it working … Thanks @Benjiko99 & @Michael Hamburger

Hello,
Guys i have other kind of problem with this. I just start to lern UE :slight_smile:
I already make button, it works well for jump etc. becasue its like a click. i want to use it for move foward my character but hes just move one frame any time i click on box. Do You have any idea how to fix that. Sorry my English is not soo good.
thanks in advance

You could set a variable at OnInputTouchBegin like MoveForward = true and then set it to false OnInputTouchEnd

thanks for reply :slight_smile:
Thanks now I understand more less how it schould works but can i ask You to make step by step tutorial or screen of working blueprint ? I cant make it by my self ;< I just lern from UE tutorials but i want to do that by using touch inputs in my tutorial projects :slight_smile:

Sorry I personally can’t help you, I don’t use UE4 anymore, you should post a new question, someone will help you for sure.
