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.
Is there a way to make the Timer Device UI render above the HUD Message image?
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.
This could work if all the ui of the hud message could be replaced for just the one in the timer.
Thank you for your reply.
I apologise for the inconvenience, but I would be grateful if you could advise me on this matter.
When I create a new widget to display the timer, it ends up hidden beneath the original UI.
I also tried adding text to the original UI and displaying the timer’s time there, but this did not work.
Is it possible to display the timer UI on top of the HUD Message?
↓I tried to add text to the original UI to display a timer, but it ended up looking like the original timer UI.
I’m assuming that the timer, and the HUD message, are related.
So like you did on this one. You can add all the images and layout like you had in the HUD message or make a copy of it.
Then in that one, add the timer text, and the bindings.
Add this as the Custom UI for the timer, and that should be it.
The HUD message should not be necessary any more.
If this is not something that works out for you, and you need them separated, then yes we will need to use Verse code to control the widgets placement on the Z order.
I hadn’t thought of that.
I gave it a go and it worked perfectly.
Thank you for letting me know.
