how to make interactive pc inside unreel engine 5 ?
Hey @Hafez14! Welcome to the forums!
An “interactive pc” could mean a lot of things. What are the specifics of the effect you are trying to accomplish?
- Is the pc going to act like a menu?
- Are you interacting with icons?
- Is the keyboard what you are trying to use?
Any additional information will be a big help in solving your problem!
Yes, a full computer that deals with the menu and icons (which I added) and there is no keyboard so that the player does not deal with the mouse keyboard only
The general idea of ​​the game is that the person will sit in front of the computer and browse after things, such as pictures and videos (which I add, of course), and this is how you understood me?
Hey @Hafez14 this is a really generalized question, so I’ll give you a couple of options on how to get started. Depending on if you want the game to be 2D, 2.5D, or 3D you have tons of options design wise.
If the game is entirely 2D you’re going to want to take a look at using Paper2D Unreal engine’s 2D plugin. It will let you render sprites and handle much of the standard 2D interfacing for you. Here’s a tutorial and the documentation for that plugin:
2D:
Learning Course: Getting Started with Your Paper 2D Project | Course
Documentation: Paper 2D in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.0 Documentation
Unreal Engine Learning hasn’t quite had any tutorials geared directly towards your idea, but getting the basics of the engine from these tutorials you could adapt the concepts to your own game. You’ll also need extensive use of UI if you go the 2.5D/3D route, so I’ll include the documentation for that here as well.
2.5D or 3D:
Learning Courses:
Your First Game In Unreal Engine 5 | Tutorial ||
Common UI tutorial - create cross-platform UI easily with this new UE5 system | Community tutorial
Documentation: UMG UI Designer for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.0 Documentation
These are definitely good starting grounds to start working towards your ideas! If you have any questions during the process about anything feel free to ask the specific questions here on the forums and we can give a more dedicated answer!
Hi all,
+1 for learning UMG to help with this idea, but I also wanted to mention that there are some paid marketplace packs that have the functionality you are looking for.
Cheers
