Unreal Engine - 3D Menu Tutorial 

Well I did the WHOLE tutorial! And I'm proud!

i cant be the only one who loves the way he says button

This is just what I've been looking for! Whatever I want a tutorial for just seems to pop up on this channel! Keep up the good work!

For future viewers: If you rearrange the collision off and collision on nodes to be self off first then new target on second in an effort to make the lines tidier, you will be frustrated at the first use case where both self and the new target are the same value. Its obvious in retrospect, but what you are doing in that special case is turning on collisions for self, then turning off collisions for new target which in this special instance also self. All that to say, order of those collision toggle nodes is important.

You are an absolute gigachad for making this video. I love this effect and your video made it so easy to implement! The way you did this left so much room for adjusting and creativity. Thank you so much, you're a beautiful human, keep on doing you

If you're having an issue transitioning back to the first menu, in the ACTOR BP_Menu3D (or whatever you called it) at 'Event Begin Play' -> Cast To Menu, make sure it is the PARENT class widget (so Menu3D_Widget) and not the Main Menu Widget that you pan to at the start of game. I didn't catch that at first and it took me forever to figure out why it wouldn't return to the main menu :)

Thank you. It also worked for UE5. THANKS!

You do very cool tutorial man, you got a lot of knowledge

Dude you make it SO HARD to study for me xd i always want to get your awesome ideas into my game but then i never have time for studying

Hey! This is my tutorial request, which I asked for a few weeks ago! Thank you

Nice video. I know this tutorial is old, but I followed along and replicated it. I am trying to figure out how to instead of "Set View Target with Blend" you can use a Level Sequence to have a directed camera path for the "TransitionTo" function. The problem I have is that I don't know how to store all that individual information on which LevelSequence it should call at "TransitionTo" function For example from Main Menu to Options would be another one that from MainMenu to Credits. One solution I could imagine is using Map-Variables to attach an (Menu Index) Integer to a specific Level Sequence Object Reference, but I didn't test it yet. I would be interested to see on how to do that.

love your explantion throughout ... you the best

Finally someone did this tutorial. Thank you so much. Was looking for this for so long

thanks for explaining every functions and reason why use certain things man, that helps a lot...

GOAT man. Have an assignment tommorow and never used UE. But now I have a full pro Menu thx!

Thanks man your tutorial was so good keep going Bro Your the best❤

Thank you very much!! You legit make the best tutorials with a high quality standard. Can't wait for more ;p

Wow, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks a million for creating this and sharing your knowledge with us! How would we optimise this to work with a game pad? Would be super sweet to find out. Thanks again for an amazing tutorial! Instantly subscribed!

This tutorial was great for my Final Major Project last year! Now im hoping to apply a similar camera movement system by pressing different keys while playing to make it work for an in-game Diegetic or Spatial UI interaction system 😂

I feel so guilty after doing Reids tutorials lol .. It shouldn't be this easy for beginners! ^__^

this is tough, nice work honestly

This is awesome. TYVM, this is what I needed! I love your tutorials :)

Could you please update this tutorial for unreal engine 5?

Awesome, thank Reids a very nice Tutorial!

thanks man :) i am looking for this exact tutorial again thanks

This is the best tutorial i've ever watched

I just thought of something advanced it would be cool if the menu was interactable, for example if you clicked on the water a ship would pull up, and there would be a man on board saying hello to you, and when you click on the boat he would leave and say have a good day! that's just for example.

this tutorial is very useful so thanks for posting this :)

Anyone notices horrible snapping when clicking 'Back' before the animation stops? Seems like I am the only one who noticed this horrible glitch

There are many "how to make a main menu" tutorials around but this one is the first one I came across that advocates for good data organization and explains some things I'm sure are easily forgotten by an expert but a new person is flummoxed by. Such as, why is my camera moving around in the main menu?

Great tutorial and great looking main menu!

Can,t do it. Can,t find: CALL TRANSITION TO LINKED MENU. Can anyone help?

Thank you Sir, Thank you!!!! Finally found a really good 3D Main Menu Tutorial

You made it look so easy! Thanks so much for this video;)

fyi showing us how to make the buttons work actually matters. Idk why you think it doesn't. its part of the menu tutorial

Very nice, clean work. You also did a great job explaining the process. My question for you: Instead of a rolling camera panning to the next menu, would it be relatively plausible to have a character anim (such as running to another room) if you did this with a 3rd person controller?

instead of putting all numbers inside of the color values just put in the Hex linear color and it will be the same thing.

This turned-out great man.

This is like the Sniper Elite V2 Main Menu

how did you manage to make a 50min tutorial on something so simple is beyond me

wow awesome i dont really think i will use it but maybe its cool tho

Your tutorial helped me a lot! thank you so much!

For anyone who has already loaded in their 3d bp but cant click on it just enable hardware in put in the blueprint of your 3d widget

Very nice Tutorial! Thank you very much!

Wow very cool! you can make so much from this tutorial. :)

Thanks! Works great, except for one little bug. The camera always starts facing down and with a seemingly random rotation. It also flickers on the first few frames it seems. after that everything works fine. But if anyone knows why this happens please let me know, Thanks!

Map looks just like Dishonored 2, had me fooled!

Works great, thanks, I learned some stuffage!

For some reason, when I deploy this Actor Blueprint in my level, all the text on these buttons is blurry. I tried changing the draw size on the actor in the level but nothing works. There's something wrong in the way it's implemented.

Great video! I was messing around and tried to learn a bit of UE4. Guys in comment section, any ideas on how would one hide Option/Credits widgets during inactivity? Something with Set Visibility/Add to Viewport? This might be a dumb question. Hah

Hiding the other menus so they don't show up in the other views?

Thank you very much. It pretty works for me!

Excellent Tutorial, thank you. I found that the BeginPlay event on the Map Level gave me an "Accessed None" error when reading the Player Controller. I fixed this by inserting a delay and an IsValid on the Player Controller... for anyone else getting this error. I'm not sure why.

This is awesome. I do run into a problem when I click Play and goto my game it make me "click for mouse control" basically requires me to hold the mouse button down to rotate and look around.

is it just me , or did you select the default gamemodebase, instead of the one you just created

10H45i cannot "set" the variable button text

Works perfectly in UE5, thanks.

How do i make my widget pop up after doing this? my main widget dont pop up when i click play and load into another map but when i just go to that map and play that map through the editor it works the widget pops up so how do i add the widget to viewport?

Great tutorial! any ideas how to implement the keyboard and controller navigation into this menu system?

can you explain how to make these widgets invisible to other cameras or only visible to the camera within its blueprint so i doesn't take from the scenery when you can see the other menus from your main

So my next question with this is it possible to have this and also a sequence that is linked into UMG? My idea is to have the main menu like this and also have some sequence animations put in it. On the actual menu, screen let's say the character and some background elements animated and having them change depending on the option you selected?

for some reason, all of my buttons except my new game button stopped working all of a sudden (this includes the quit button).

Please do a tutorial on texturing this scene. I really want to know what technique you used in this scene.

10H45i cannot "set" the variable button text !! help please even if i checked is variable

Amazing tutorial, thank you! Have any ideas on how to get focus (on any button) for controller support?

Thank you very much!

am i the only one having the issue that the menu doesnt recieve any input?

Thanks. Great tutorial. Been looking for this for a few years now. Everything works fine now. Only one Problem i encountered. I used the 3rd Person Example Map and when i hit play it behaves different then what the map normaly does. The Mouse Inputs while walking forward arend controlling the camera so i need to adjust the camera with the right mouse button while ingame. Could this be linked to the GameMode? Kinda Clueless

Wow man! love this thx a lot

This is exactly what i was looking for! Nice tutorial and you make easy to understand

can you do a video explaining how to accomplish this same effect without child blueprints and inherited components so that each blueprint can be accessed and communicated with to accomplish such tasks as setting a blueprint hidden in game after clicking on a button ext.

You rock!! Thank you.

buttons dont seem to be working for me at all any help would be appreciated

I have a weird problem with a ball spawning on the game start location and in the main menu, I can move it around with wasd. I'm a little confused about what it is I can only assume it has something to do with the main menu game mode. Any ideas?

bit of a unrealated question but where did u get those assets are they ripped from dishonored 2?

bro is mythical

using this as level transition not bad too xd

I followed the whole video correctly but my options and credits buttons do not worked when clicked, only play and exit work. I have no idea how to fix this :/

Whenever i hit start game it teleports me under the map. Do you know how to fix it. Btw thank you so much for the tutorial

why isnt the back button working I have done a bit and nothing is working Im on ue5

Hey @Reids Channel . Thanks for the video, it’s been really useful. Everything is working but I'm having issues with the resolution of the text and backgrounds in the menus. Why this that? Also, do you know how to fix it?

hey...how do I do this.... if I wanted to delete a sqaure object, & when you do it un deletes a new square object. & if I delete the new object the other one undeletes again. the objects are all linked with eachother. can you do a tutorial on that please if that's ok.

Ok now could you help setup a beautiful menu? AFTER we've watched this video...

This is what I have been looking for! Thank you very much, I just finished your tutorial and I have my classic themed main menu hahaha, I got 1 problem though, Im using UE5 version, and on the option widget, when I link the on clicked (Back Button) to Transition to Link Menu, it just said error, and in the problem terminal, it said that The Target node must be connected, the other thing is pretty much intact, oppose to the back button, please help, I don't know what to do, thank you very much

Hey there, thanks muchly for this example project for this menu system, I currently am working on a new horror game, and i have used this in the project, Everything works perfect, cept when I hit play Unreal crashes, I am using UE 5 and I guess this is a known bug. Question is: Would you have any suggestions on how I could do a work around? or should i wait for a hotfix from unreal? Thanks for the awesome content :)

Its is not working for me idk is it the buttons or the UI, The camera works that will go for the Start UI but idk whats makeing the Buttons not geting clicked?

Really awesome Menu System! Please please show us how to include the use of gamepad along with the mouse in this system. I tried to figure it out but I keep messing up the blueprints. Ended up watching this tutorial a lot of times just to undo my mistakes. Please tell us how...

One button----> open level stuck in menu while level runs in the background.

very lit

How do I add options? Also the options did not work when I pressed back, I just deleted it and changed it to a tutorial area, I still want an options though. (I need a resolution, Lighting quality, And volume.)

I spend all the day working on it and it didnt work for me edit:it worked now

Why do I have a random ball moving around when using WASD in the main menu...? (Ngl kinda scared me im making a backrooms game and have the menu as level 0 thought my ai went rogue xd)

king

the buttons work, but the first transitions when you hit play (in ue) doesn't work and I don't know why at all

How do I change the font? I know there should be a font family option under appearance. But I don’t see it any idea?

danke

I need help for mobile touch screen..

Has anyone else had an issue where the options widget and credits widget don't appear?

I'm trying to do something similar to this but struggling. Basically trying to make a simple interactive menu similar to something you would see on console and to be used with a controller. So for example, start new game would be the first screen, then from there you can tab left or right to options and credits with a single button press and the camera will pan to that screen. Basically your system but with a single option on each screen and using keyboard/controller input. Possibly a new tutorial idea? I'm struggling badly!

Thanks
