Need help: drawing on Image (texture) with the mouse.

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hey everyone…

I have been trying to learn this on my own, but I am stumped and need a hand.

I am making a survival like game, and part of the plan is to have a “Scenario Editor”. This thing I am having trouble with is being about to draw waypoints, lines, etc on a map.

The map is a typical topographic wilderness (hiking park, etc) type map…

So, I have a UMG widget with an Image on it… so far I can load a texture of a map on it… But as for drawing with the mouse… I don’t know :frowning:

Any one able to give some advice ?

Thanks,

Michael

Have you tried using the Draw Line node and On Paint event (this is an event you can override in your UMG BP)?

I kinda feel a bit silly now… lol

I’ll give it a try, and post back if I have more questions.

Hey, so I was doing a bit more research, and I remembered Google Maps provides API to access their maps.
And it also has a lot of things that you can do with regard to marking maps, waypoints, etc.

So… so right now I am going to use that… It actually fits perfect with the game I am working on.

Anyway… I’ll add some info about the game I am working on shortly

Thanks,

Michael
