Is there a way to make the Timer Device UI render above the HUD Message image?

Ko.T0R4 · April 18, 2026, 1:11pm

I’m working in UEFN and using a HUD Message device to display an image on the screen.

I also want to show a Timer Device on top of that image, but the Timer UI always appears behind the HUD Message image.

I believe this is a layering (Z-order) issue, but I’m not sure how to control which UI appears in front.

If not, are there any recommended workarounds to achieve this?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
there is one way that I am thinking it could work with custom ui for the timer, that can be achieved within the editor without verse.

Create a custom widget.
Set that widget to the timer.
Bind the widget with viewmodels and bindings. to what you need.

This could work if all the ui of the hud message could be replaced for just the one in the timer.
