What will you learn

Creating an auto-run and professional menu using widgets is a great way to enhance the user experience in your Unreal Engine 5 project. Here are the steps to create a menu using widgets:

• Create a new User Interface (UI) widget blueprint by selecting “User Interface” in the “Add New” menu.
• Add a “Canvas Panel” to your widget blueprint. This will serve as the background of your menu.
• Customize the canvas panel by adding an image or changing its color. You can also adjust its size and position.
• Add buttons to your menu by dragging and dropping a “Button” widget onto the canvas panel. You can customize the appearance and behavior of each button in its properties.
• Add text to your buttons by dragging and dropping a “Text Block” widget onto the canvas panel. You can customize the appearance and content of the text in its properties.
• Add functionality to your buttons by creating a new event in your widget blueprint and assigning it to the “On Clicked” event of each button.
• Create an animation widget to add dynamic effects to your menu. You can create animations by adding keyframes to the timeline and setting the properties of each keyframe.
• Add an image gallery to your menu by creating a new widget blueprint and adding a “Wrap Box” widget to it. You can then add images to the wrap box by dragging and dropping them onto it.
• Customize the appearance of your image gallery by changing the properties of the wrap box and the images themselves.

By following these steps, you can create an auto-run and professional menu using widgets in Unreal Engine 5. Remember to experiment and customize your menu to make it unique and tailored to your project.
