Setting Text Visibility

Alright so I am a bit corn-fused here…lol

I have a text Render on a Object in a BP…when Pawn enters trigger box I get it to appear not a problem…but you canonly see it if the light is directly on it…how do i get the text to “glow” or show hen there is no light directly on it?

I am stumped…but that doesn’t take much with Unreal Engine 4…

I know that I can place a spot light on it…but this would ruin the effect of the dark location…

you have to modify your textMaterial :
-Set it to Unlit
-Choose and Emessive color

Okay I get the Emessive Color…

But I am not sure how to set it to Unlit…

Ahhh…Gotcha…

So I i decided to create my first Font Material and I do not understand something…How come your Font Param looks like text where as mine looks like a White Out Block

you need a fontsample or param and add a font to it

I have done that…I imported a text font…Created a Font Texture…Setupt FOnt Param in my Material…Added Said Created Font Text…and Still I am getting a white block…

choose the alpha chanel not the red one

Sorry to be frustrating…I did that…but still my Font Param is still a Solid white Block…

the imporant is what you get in the preview

this is a font i just imported

Ahh…Okay…got ya…Thanks for the Help!!!
