Hi, I am trying to make a Character Selection Screen with Metahumans but my BP skills are not good. Please see attached pic of what I have so far using UMG and a Widget. I was following this tutorial - Unreal Engine 4 - Character Selection Tutorial - YouTube, but its for Ue4 and its not using Metahumans so Im getting lost big time. I need the user to be able to hover each Metahuman Button below, when they hover over each button the corresponding Metahuman will spawn on platform in middle. When user moves off Metahuman button then Metahuman is hidden from platform. If user clicks on Metahuman button then player is chosen and we load another level. I;ve tried spawning and unspawning the Metahuman BPs in widget but I really need some help, any assistance would be very much appreciated, thanks.
Hello Graeme_VR thank you for posting your question.
In regards to your concern:
I think we will need more information as to where you are getting stuck. Are you receiving any errors? Have you considered using breakpoints to see if certain events are firing off? I would also double check what class you have set to spawn. Sometimes, I forget to change that over.
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks for the reply. I have attempted some BP in the graph section of the Widget BP, but keep failing as I dont know BP at all. Do you know any good tutorials I could follow step by step to achieve this? Thanks again
Hello again Graeme_VR!
I would be more than happy to send you any relevant tutorials that can assist you step by step but it really depends on where you are getting stuck. Are you having trouble with the skeletal mesh? What part of the tutorial are you currently stuck on?
The tutorial you have followed so far is a bit fast paced and complex. If are not used to Unreal Engine, you may want to slow down a bit and get to know visual scripting a little better.
If you are interested in getting to know Unreal Engine, I would consider checking out some very beginner friendly documentation or even the “Your First Hour in Unreal Engine 5” (by Mathew Wadstein) tutorial series.
Thanks for the assistance. Im getting stuck following the tutorial with Metahumans as they are not Skeletal Meshes in one piece, they are separate Skeletal meshes and when I try bring them all into one BP it doesnt work. I will check the video you suggested. thanks
Hello again Graeme_VR, thank you for the reply.
Thank you for the additional details. So you may be interested in Modular Characters then. I would check out the corresponding documentation as these are really fun to use. I wish you the best.
Thanks, I ll take a look.
Hi there! Did you figure this out? I’m trying to do the same
