Supporting Blueprints For UI3
Supporting blueprints that come with UI3.
- Location actor
- Walkable mesh marker
- Cost group
- Layout Swap
Content:
Location Marker
BP_SDotUI3_LocationPlace one in any quick teleport location.
Location Name
The name will appear in the floor plan, if names are generally enabled.
Floor ID
The index of the floor drawing the actor should show up in.
Walkable Mesh Tagger
BP_SDotUI3_WalkableTarget / Mouse Move
Meshes that are at the same height as the player is standing on are automatically considered a walkable mesh. Other meshes, like stairs need to be marked. This actor does just that.
Walkable Meshes
Place the blueprint near a meshes that the player should be able to walk on and add it to the array.
Note that this doesn't replace collision. It just lets the UI know that the mesh can be used for Target Move. Every Mesh in the scene that is within the players range needs to have a collision.
Cost Group
BP_SDotUI3_CostGroup
This blueprint can add a list of cost items to a sub level. This is to track additional costs that occure when adding a streaming sub-level.
The actor needs to be placed in the streaming level.
UI3 Cost Tracking
UI Layout Changer
The Layout Changer can remove menu items when the user enters its collision box.
Enter / Exit Data Table
The interface will load the layout defined in the Enter Data Table and then load the interface defined in the Exit Data Table (usually the originally defined layout)
Collision Box Transform
Transforms the yellow collision box
Experimental! - This cannot replace the current menu layout with a different one in run-time.

- The TV Mesh has a Material with the Media Texture assigned.
The Variation Actor swaps the material that plays the video with another black one to turn the TV off.
