having a hard time changing my games UI button color hovered or pressed its always black and I find myself only able to change how dark it can be, I’m using a blueprint in my widget to be able to do this dynamically

Hey in the color settings variables for the button, is the opacity set to 1?

I see. Could you briefly explain what the goal of your blueprint is there? It looks like you’re waiting to see if the button is in focus and when that happens, update the colors of the buttons and color them based on if they are selected or not?

sorry for the extremely late reply. yes, that is the goal of the blueprint and based off what you asked me about the color settings for the opacity being 1 my opacity was set to 0 making my buttons always black colored so thank you for that guide 💯
