I need help with something specfic I've tried different methods but none seem to work effectively, how can I solve this?

Hi there, I need help with something, I’ve tried multiple methods for it.

So when you die your screen will fade to black and then after the delay (5 seconds)
it should fade into the death screen, not instantly how it does currently.

I also want to be able to respawn my player when pressing E only on the death screen
and when you press E it should slowly “fade” back into the game (Fade back in visually)

Here’s my Blueprint:

Note: the R key is mainly for testing, eg. testing the fade effect
and death screen display effect.

I’ve tried multiple methods on how to respawn my player character only on the death screen displayed, and solve the death screen issue where it is shown immediately instead of slowly fading into it.

I’ve been using Unreal for a couple years.

Any help is appreciated!

You could do both with one animation in your widget.

  1. fade in a black background
  2. after 5 seconds fade in your widget components

That way you always have your timing right and it’s all in one place.

Found a youtube video on that:
