I am trying to recreate a dialogue box I made in Unity in UE4 instead using the Widget blueprint. I am pretty much almost there but as you will see below, the images that I use as borders and such are not…“right”. They stretch out whereas in Unity I was able to define a border on the picture so that it could tile it next to each other perfectly.
You should be able to tell what the issue is here. But how do I solve it? Like I said, in Unity I went to the image that I use as a background for the Nameplate and Dialogue (which is 128x128) and defined pixel perfect boundaries around the image like so:
The easiest way to do it is to simply punch in the padding value for the slot. As in: wrap the *image */*text box *with a *border *and set the image’s/text’s padding to X pixels from all sides.
Alternatively, if you need a fancier border (rather than a colour), you will need to look into 9 Scale Box, have a look at the section Setting Image States over here: Styling | Unreal Engine Documentation
But I’m trying to make the UI scale to a 16:9 resolution. Wouldn’t punching in “magic numbers” (as we call them in programming) make this a problem when scaled between different resolutions?
