When I create a widget and load it into the scene, it appears that the text is coming in from the side. Like, rapidly sliding from left to right. How can I make it just appear?
We’ll need more info regarding the setup. To start with, could you please show the widget and the way it’s added to the viewport.
to all appearances, I don’t think I’m doing anything unusual here; it’s so weird, it’s like the text has a “slide in the from the left” animation attached to it
I just added a background widget with a fade in animation, and it’s also not working. So, I must be doing something wrong in how I’m bringing these into my level, yes?
The above looks fine, can we see what’s in the fade in animation? Perhaps there’s a rogue transform track?
No rogue transform. Is it because there’s no border around the text (I’m assuming that’s not it). Also, additionally, I mentioned that I have another widget that’s just a black border that fades in slowly. Works fine on the timeline, but not in the level. It fades in immediately. So, I’m getting some odd widget behaviors. Anything else I can hunt for?
The above looks fine, just double checking.
Are we talking about it not being on the screen and then sliding into view? Or does it look more like the text was trying to lay a word after word, as if it was readjusting the layout?
What I’m thinking is that you may be observing the pre-pass laying out the text - hard to tell without seeing it, though. Is it close to a quick flicker?
The font if huge - can you test it with font small enough to fit into a single line? Just for now?
Are any of the transforms modified?
Works fine on the timeline, but not in the level. It fades in immediately.
What triggers the animation and when?
sliding into view (not word after word, more yeah like readjusting the layout)
yes, it’s close to a flicker, but it’s a slide, left to right
same problem with smaller font, but the problem is less bad
but I need big font…
should I upload a video; everything else in the project is finished, this is the only thing that is holding me up…
where do I find those transforms?
I searched transforms and pulled up a different menu, which all looked normal
Place a Force Layout Prepass node in the construct of the widget - see if it helps
Just tried it; unfortunately, no dice.
Could you actually show a vid? Also, is this widget inside another widget?
Can you also test is with the regular engine font?
no, it’s with a different font, but it worked fine on another project
here’s the video: Login • Instagram ← check 5m 20 seconds, you have to have an instagram login (sorry I’m away from my home computer right now, so I can manipulate certain parts of it by remote, but can’t get a screen video)
it really just looks like it has an animation on it telling it to slide in from the left, but no such animation exists!
Not creating an insta account to watch a vid, sorry. YT? Google Drive? Post a animation here?
oh, you can upload big videos here@, so 5m 20s
