Hello, developers!

I’m working on a game and want to create a menu that will be displayed on the TV screen embedded in the environment. I’ve already tried to implement this using Render Target, but I ran into a problem

What I’ve already tried:

Set up Render Target and Material to display the widget on the texture.

Problems:
The texture with the widget is duplicated, but the effect is not the same. Photo below

Goals:
I want the menu to look like a real interface on the TV screen and be able to interact with it (mouse + keyboard)

Questions:

Are there other ways to overlay the widget on the object and have normal interaction with it
Any advice and ideas are welcome! Thanks in advance.

Instead, use a Widget Component in World Space and enable Receive Hardware Input. And if you need additional material effects, wrap the widget with a Retainer, or modify the component’s material.

Hi, I didn’t quite understand what you meant. I don’t need optimization, but an implementation option! I don’t understand how to do it like this :frowning:

This has nothing to do with optimisation, although retainers help with this if necessary. It’s merely a standard method of handling what you’ve asked about.

Find any tutorial on widget components - this is a common topic. Add a comp to an actor and it displays a widget in 3d once set to world mode. And you can interact with it as if it was a traditional widget thanks to hardware input.
