Non-Interactive Scene Graph UI - Experimental

[ThomasC_Epic (Thomas Convard)]

Status

None

Scene Graph UI attaches non-interactive widgets to the player’s viewport, so developers can build custom HUD interfaces using Scene Graph and manipulate them directly from Verse code.

With this new set of Scene Graph entities and components, developers can create UI content in the same entity hierarchy as everything else in the island, so it can be authored and organized the same way, and manipulated directly from Verse code. The player’s viewport is exposed as a surface that widgets can be attached to, and the new layout components can arrange text and images within it to build non-interactive HUD and notification interfaces.

Early feedback on SG UI.

• ability to pre-place the ui tree directly on the player entity without it being drawn
• ability to pre-place world space ui without being immediately rendered (not just hidden, but fully disabled)

I would like to work with caching sg based widgets and move them in and out to the rendered scene (re-enabling or re-attaching to the view tree)

I know that it is not directly related to this roadmap topic, but I would like to point out at this point that there is a problem with the player marker device regarding UI…:

Player Marker Device: Team/Class visibily don`t work - everybody can see the marker

Summary I found this ticket above - I noticed now the same problem. It seems that there is still no bug fix : ( It doesn`t matter what I ajust in the device settings - the marker is always for all visible! (also for the selected player himself, even though the checkbox for that isn’t even checked) Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Devices Steps to Reproduce player 1 with marker from player marker device (set marker …

Unfortunately, there has been no reaction from Epic to this big problem for a long time, so I would like to draw attention to it again with a request to fix the error.

(PS: Unfortunately, there are several bugs in already old/established devices, so I would also like to make the suggestion that you please include a new topic “Problems with existing devices” in the roadmap, so that we have the opportunity to report things there - unfortunately I have made the experience that Epic focuses very strongly on innovations and neglects old/existing things)
