Is it possible to add 3D text to scriptable tools?

We’re building some scriptable tools and we’d like to display 3D billboards in the viewport. For instance, we draw a line with using the Scriptable Tool Line Set and we’d like to display the length of the line above it. Is there any way to do this other than spawning a Text Render Actor?

Hi,

Unfortunately, it looks like you would need to spawn in a temporary actor: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/scriptable-tools-system-in-unreal-engine#renderingoptions

There is a BP API for tool messaging in the documentation if you were looking just for the information, but it’s not for displaying in 3D space.

Regards

Gotcha, thanks
