Afternoon!
I’m currently working on a demo and I’d like to be able to show some of the values/information that I’m using to do various things on screen using the format text/print to screen format (exactly like in the attached image) But I havent been able to figure out what I need to do to keep the titles there permanently and just update the values in real time and not get a wall of text.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The part that is important is passing in a key for GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage() (the first parameter)
Once the line has a key it will update in place instead of spamming the screen.
So in your update / tick function you can use for example
if (GEngine) {
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(1, 1, FColor::Red, "Message 1" + FString::SanitizeFloat(DeltaTime));
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(2, 1, FColor::Orange, "Message 2" + FString::FromInt(i));
i++;
}
During update the text will stay in place and in the order you display it.
You can color the text using the FColor static colors or passing in custom Fcolor node
Edit: Each new “static” line needs it’s own unique key.
