I am new to unreal and the blueprint system, I understand it and know how to do a lot with it, but I am very confused on how to make rolling credits play at the end of my game. I know it is something to do with the hud system or the umg, but I can’t figure out how to make it. Is there a way I can make the credits in something like microsoft word and import the file and have it scroll at the end of the game? ---

i made a seperate widget to call from main menu. inside there used simple text box and keyframe on position Y for sliding effect. my game was for mobile so had to put invisible button covering whole screen, whenever player tapped it would skip credits and go back to menu. ![41979-caps1.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/5/7/757e84882ec40ad51cbcd292d873ddec3a913aba.png) ![41980-caps2.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/1/d/c1de0eeb5edc465db3a4e1264a701d9711565f58.png) ![41981-caps3.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/d/0/cd05607bc81d4a5405904a843a52ee7277065a6a.png) in case you’re wondering why credits is not centered, there’s some stuff on right side of screen so that was my choice. ---

To make it more flexible, the way I managed to do it was to set a number of rolling lines per screen with text boxes in umg, and created animations that rolls them like a circularly linked list. then in blue prints i created a string array with all of the data, and created a for loop that fed the string lines into the textboxes, run animation, delay, and repeat. and if you want it to come from file just create a savegame type blueprint with the string array to load and save to and from. ---

…if you want to go a level further you can create a custom text file importer to read the lines in from text file ---

…but then it would no longer be a solution using blueprint, as it does not natively support loading of arbitrary files ---

a) you can hard code all of the text in a data structure if you want and b) loading from a text file can be done by extending blueprints via about 10 lines of code. done and done ---
