I am working on a project due in 48 hours and need to build a plugin interface for Unreal Engine. I don’t need the plugin to have any functionality, but ideally I would be able to use drop down menus, radio buttons, and sliders.

I understand that programming something built into the interface of Unreal is an endeavor that can’t be done in a few hours. But a better solution might be to use Unreal Menu Widgets, build the menu, then simply open it in a game level.

The problem is, I can’t get the menu to show in the viewport when everything is compiled correctly. Here’s a screenshot of my node graph (is that the right term?) and of the test menu.

I understand you probably think I know next to nothing, which is true, but any help is appreciated.

Double check your interface Test consist of Canvas Panel and some element of text, button.

You can also do a Print String to see if everything is working properly.
