UMG How to create a vertical text

Development Programming & Scripting UI

I want a Text rotated at 90 degrees. Notice the 5 dots on the brown image. That’s where the text actually is.

The problems:

  • the overall size of the parent widget is affected by the area where the dots are, not where the text is.
  • the visibility of the text is affected by the same offset between actual info and visual info.

This is all to be expected when tinkering with the render transform, but I find the render transform useless and would much appreciate a true widget transform.

In the mean time, does anybody know a work around for this?

The best solution would be to have widget transform like the render transform

If you are using Blueprints for variables then you can still use it. Only problem is you have to assign it in the graph because in details panel multi-line is not supported by default for details panel. :slight_smile:

As you can see this returns the given text in a vertical format. You can then use the return value to assign your variables.
