Proper use of PushMaskRegion()

Development Programming & Scripting C++
1

Hey guys,

So I am trying to mask out some parts of my custom HUD (Blueprintable) with the PushMaskRegion() Function. The following command compiles, but doesn’t seem to have any effect…



    Canvas->Canvas->PushMaskRegion(10,10, 100, 100);
    //draw various things
    Canvas->Canvas->PopMaskRegion();

Do you know what might be the problem or if there is any working function for masking inside the HUD?

This is the function PushMaskRegion:

Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure that was a holder over from UE3 that has been deprecated. It’s not in the current code that I can see. ClipX and ClipY are your best bets

Thanks again, Joe.

I tried to set the ClipX and ClipY Variables. But there are two problems with that approach.

First, all this seems to do is to mess up my Mouse-Cursor (see Pic). It doesn’t cut anything else. Be it a DrawTile- or a DrawText-Function.

Second, if setting this variables did actually work, I would need a start- AND an end-point… and not just an end point. The PushMaskRegion()-Function did this perfectly back in UE3.
