Hi!
I’m using Unreal 5.1.1.
How can I show messages to the user like UE_LOG does?
I think I can create a delegate and, when a process ends, call it with the message I want to show to the player.
I want to do it in APlayerController::BeginPlayingState(). I need to do it there because I’m going to connect to a web service and then, to a database.
I don’t know a lot about Unreal, so I could be wrong.
By the way, I’m not going to use UE_LOG because these messages are not for debug.
Thanks.
Try Draw Debug String:
This doesn’t use a widget, but it’s also super simple to do, much easier than a widget.
If you actually want a really nice user presentation with customizable widgets, ignore this. But given your question I’m guessing you don’t really care about widgets, you just want a visible message presented for debugging.
Thanks.
No, sorry. I haven’t mention that I’m not going to use UE_LOG because these messages are not for debug.
I said that these messages are for the player, from what I understood that it was clear that they were not for debugging.
I see. In that case, the answer is much more complex. 
Try this for a general purpose (UE4) way to put text on a widget for the user.
In UE5 depending on what framework you use, there are other ways, but that’s a good start.
You could make it in the following way:
Create a UserWidget like this:
Create a custom TextBlock and tweak text properties:
Make a function to add a message to your log:
Add events to enter different messages:
