I want to create a UMG that holds the info from my spell.
However, i don’t know how’d i make the background image adjust it’s size to preciselly hold the text info, how can i do that?
There are many ways to achieve it. You’d need to provide more details first:
- are you sure you want to ‘adjust’ the background image’s size? this may result in ugly stretching unless you use a tiling image
- will your spell info tooltip expand horizontally and/or vertically to accommodate the information within?
- perhaps you could provide a mock-up of what you want to achieve depicting 2 tooltips of different size
In the meanwhile, have a look at this - SizeToContent:
Any element that is directly sitting on the canvas becomes its slot. Canvas slots can be flagged to automatically become the size they desire depending on the children they contain:
If you combine it with a size box or text wrapping and a tiling image, you’ll get a tooltip that always looks neat and does not contain clipped or overlapping text.
This seems overly complicated.
I’m not sure if i really found i solution, but i think i got one.
There’s a thing called “scale box”. It does exactly what you said, but much better and simple.
