How To Make An Options Menu - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial 

I love these tutorials where they basically do an any% speedrun but with enough detail to follow along

Just so everyone knows, if for some reason you don't see "events" settings on your buttons make sure "is variable" is checked.

What an absolute W tutorial. You made this tutorial so well by explaining what each blueprint item does which really helps we with learning how to code by myself. THANKS!

Fantastic video, thanks so much for this. This feels like one of those things that becomes a template after learning, but one does have to learn how to do it the first time!

thank you :) it really helped me a lot. I am a beginner at UE5 but i wanted to complete/package a simple project as soon as possible. i am just making a walking simulator so packaging and menu options etc tutorials are really helpful.

Very awesome! Thank you very much! I've been struggling with this for a while. I think it's due to most tutorials being for UE4. This works great with 5.

One of the cleanest tutorials i have ever seen! Excelent

at 17:46 I found it was cleaner to create a structure array for each resolution value and run through it with a for loop with break, checking if the saved resolution was equal to the resolution at the array index and breaking the loop if so. It also has the added benefit of being able to access all of your resolutions from a single node in the future.

This was great, thank you. I am having issues with turning off the sound but this was a great start. Thank you

Great tutorial, straight forward and worked first try. Thank you!

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much!

Awesome tutorial, Menu systems usually get forgotten and glad i found this one. Something i did find for the resolution is you could convert int point x to string and put that through a "Switch on String", just so you don't have cascading branches. Also means you can have a default as a failsafe.

tysm this will get me another skep closer to finishing wisho of fidgets

Thank you SO MUCH. Greatest guide i`ve ever seen

This channel is treasure.

amazing work sir. vary clear and concise.

Great starting point. Thank you for sharing!

THANKS a lot everything workes just well

Dude this was a fantastic tutorial, thanks very much.

Thank u very much. This was very helpful!

Thanks for sharing!

Amazing job! Thank you so much :D

Nice work !!!

very good, helps learning ui during the unity to unreal transition.

Again another very good tutorial from your channel, thank u for the good contant :D

thank you ,you save my life !!!

Great video thanks

Massive thank you!

Usefull tutorial!

This seems like so much work for something that basically every game needs, I wonder why some of the logic doesn't already exist

gracias broo sigue asi

Thanks!

nice video very easy tutorial

very good job.. i use int point Array to Resolutionscreen, add de resolutions elemants, get index, find x.. work ok here..

I love how when looking at assignments from classmates at my uni, almost everyone has copied this tutorial, then get surprised when they get a low score. People really do be just 100% copying tutorials and submitting them in assignments where 100% of it has to be your own work, and not tutorials. Still a good tutorial to teach, just remember people to change the way the UI looks to make it your own and stand out from other games. A basic looking UI will not make your game/project unique.

thanks

Tnx

Good video

Awesome! Thank you, this was very helpfull! Would love to know how to go back to the menu when hitting 'esc'. Is it the same as Keyboard ESC Event -> Remove from Parent -> Create Widget -> Add to Viewport?

And what about different aspect ratios? Here you set fixed and most common resolutions, but there are many differents and you can easily "brake" someones monitor if he goes out of sync. There's a way to get a list of actual supported screen resolutions instead of hard coding them?

great tutorial but one problem. how do you apply the sound for when you drag the slider

Do you have a tutorial on how to do settings like this on frame rate?

by any chance you could do an alternative to binding the text ?

This is a great tutorial, helped me a lot, but I don't know how to get this working with my gamepad. 😢

it took all day of work so be warned lol haha but it works perfectly thanks alot i mean that now i have a fully function menu i am working on first then the games next its a terminator fan game

How do I ensure that if I set my desplay mode to fullscreen it will set automaticly my native resolution from my PC. Thanks for answear.

Works great but for some reason my quality is set to LOW when I choose the smallest resolution ...

My graphics options such as epic and that don't change at all. Why is that? Was that related to the think you didn't do in the event graph?

how do you make it so when you select the switch it dosen't move around (effected by the text size)?

This may be helpful to some. You can also show the options menu in the same exact widget instead of a separate one by putting a border around it. making it a variable and naming it. Then do the same to the main menu bar. Leave the main bar visible on default and the visibility of the options hidden. Then on-click the options button and set the visibility of the options Border to visible then on-click the back button and set it to fall. I find this better in case you want to keep your main menu bar shown but if not then you could easily add some more nodes to make it hide when clicking options. This man did great and taught me some important stuff today so I figured I'd attempt to share a trick for some incase you don't want to just copy and paste this great man's work. Love you all.

How would I got about making a 'brightness level' in this

One thing about this I don't like for options is having the counting system for the arrow buttons. I want to make it so you don't hit a limit when pressing a button and instead have it loop but I don't know how to do this.

The resolution and fullscreen mode settings don't work for me

1. Window Mode doesn't work at all, that also applies to your example since you literally open it at the end with fullscreen being set, but the game opens windowed. For me it's always windowed in editor and fullscreen after build 2. Text bindings don't load when the widget is constructed. The variables do change and save (I can see the graphics actually look worse on low), but whenever you open the settings menu all the text boxes will just spell the first option regardless of what's actually set (so fullscreen, low and off in this case (I didn't add resolution))

I have a small problem; i don't know how to have the default value of the resolution to be set. For me it automatically says; 0x0. And the default of var.resolution is indeed that, but then still if I want to change that for 1920x1080 as default, and I hit next, then it instantly goes to the highest. Which means the current Resolution index must be at 3; 3+1 makes 4 (duh). But it says it's set at 0. Can you help me with this?

when i open my level using start game, the gamemode override stays as mainmenu and i cant move my character or shoot (i'm following your top-down game tutorial alongside this). im not quite sure what to do here if you/anyone have any ideas

I’m surprised it doesn’t have a Commercial at the beginning 🙏

hello, thanks for the tutorial. How can I add sound settings to this widget? If we want the player to be able to increase or decrease the sound in the game whenever players wants, how should we develop it? I need your suggestion !

I ran your project files in Standalone Game Mode. The resolutions aren't working and the scalability settings in Unreal Editor aren't changing when I change overall graphics settings after playing it. What am I doing wrong?

when i resize the vertical box it doesnt move the buttons

sorry to bother you but for me the resolution setting isn't working, if you could help, that would be great. Otherwise, this tutorial was amazing and very helpful

The windowmode for me is somehow not working. I can select which mode i want, but it does not apply. Can anyone pls help me?

Does the Graphics setting affect the over graphics quality like anti aliasing, texture quality and shadows? Or do I need a separate button for those?

I wish there also was a fps setting!

So when I go to the options menu and I choose and change the Resolution because the screen changes for some reason all the button "colliders" stay at the same place they were so when I click the back in wont go back but if I click a bit higher it will... Is there a way to refresh the buttons when the resolution is changed?

i cant main man widget can someone help me

my options menu wont go back

Someone know why the only setting working for me is the graphics quality?

When I turn window mode into full screen it doesn't turn in to it, is it normal for the editor in ue5 or is it not working for me?

Compile project not work mainemu level only show thirdperson level please. make a compile project. tutorial mainmenulevel start game and play

for some reason, my options menu won't open

4:55 for me, it doesnt appeard the window called "my blueprint" so i cant add a new variable, can somone help me?

Please continue this series by adding a character editor like the one you made with the free adventure character😅

hey, can you help me plesae? When i enter a scene using content drawer, i can move the camera withou holding RMB, if i enter the scene with the play button in my main menu, i need to hold rmb to move the camera, whats wrong?

14:24 foliage add more options

I followed his tutorial exactly but when I set my graphics to medium or lower it doesn't load and says texture streaming pool over 160.668 MiB budget. Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it?

Yea good job but why doesn't mine do anything

how can i go to the menu after starting my game?

this menu works for multiplayer game?

hey can is there still access to free beginner course? im not getting the email

Nothing working in standalone window =/

After the game starts, the menu background remains. What is the problem?

i cant open the options😢

How he can go back to menu

Apply doesn't do anything, am I missing something? The settings are being saved but in game it doesn't change anything. When it loads game user settings it loads the default settings EDIT: I didn't have Apply Settings on the Apply button function

My full screen doesn’t work, it’s always windowed no matter witch option I choose

Why do most graphic settings tutorials use such a method, when a combo box looks more convenient and attractive?

my back button doesnt work..

Thx. Nice tutorial with helpful information. But the screen spaghetti is not something that helps with structured work.

naughty, why no game instance...?

4:3 monitors is supported? ))) Yeah I old man on crt Monitor with 1600x1200 reslution )

None of the resolution or window mode settings do anything in a standalone game.. So this is pretty much useless.. Also the fullscreen doesn't go in fullscreen even in "new editor window" run mode

05:40

why not just set enum value instead of doing this crazy integer-byte stuff

Fake For any one not like this video thanks men you are the best over 😍😍😍😍

The whole tutorial is fine and helpful in terms of functionality, but the blueprints are very hardcoded and will be a nightmare for future maintainability. I don't know if this is targeted for beginners but it's a terrible practice to teach others

Texture streaming pool over 1.644gib budget

Options for amateurs. You can't even change the anti aliasing method in this dumb program.

24:02 When I tried to compile the blueprint, error messages popped up saying "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_200 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type.", "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_2 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity_0 Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type.", "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_6 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity_1 Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type.", and "Binding: Property ' /Script/UMG.TextBlock:ColorAndOpacityDelegate ' on Widget ' TextBlock_10 ': Member:GetColorAndOpacity_2 Unable to bind StrProperty, unsupported type."

Thanks!
