Render 3D widget above anything else?

[RegularSquirrel]

I’m trying to set up a 3D widget, that tells players how to interact with objects, like “[E] Press Button”.

I’m trying to set it up, so the widget is always facing the camera, and are now running into the the proublem that the widget sometimes now will clip into other objects.

I was wondering, if there was a way to make 3D widgets render on top of any other object?

Is it possible to make 3d UMG widgets never get occluded?

Yes. find material in the engine content: Widget3DPassThrough duplicate it and move it to your project. open the material and Disable Depth Test in the advanced part of the Translucency tab assign material to your widget component

Thank you! easily saved me hours of investigating.

That’s indeed the solution, you actually need to check the “Disable Depth Test” checkbox for your UMG UI to render on top (Of opaque pixels).

Thank you very much for sharing it.
