Unreal - Creating Dynamic 3D Text

Image
Unreal doesn't do well when using UI Widgets set to World View. The text is very pixelated and there isn't a clear solution that I have found. So, I resorted to creating a Blueprint actor and making my own with a text component.  I needed to create a callout that toggles on/off on click as a child of a larger parent blueprint that contains a number of things - a highlight/trigger box, the mesh itself, an icon indicating it's an interactable object and the callout in question. This blueprint object - we'll call it a room component object - pulls it's information in from a datatable (ie. name, price, etc) via an id. So I have a function that initializes this parent blueprint - using it's id variable to look up it's row from the table and grab the info it needs for itself.  At the end of this function I set the text on the callout blueprint to the retrieved 'name' info. Within the callout blueprint itself I have a function that sets the text content

Unreal - Creating a Distance Field Font

1. Open the Font 2. Set the size to 40pt as the base size 3. Choose 'offline' from the dropdown (set to runtime by default) 4. Scroll down and tick 'distance field' 5. In Content Browser, right-click on font asset and choose ReImport Reference: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/distance-field-font-generation/147761 MostHost_LA Marketplace Creator Jul '20 Yes. Open the font, make it local or whatever the equivalent option is. pick 40pt as the base size, I find it works best. After it converts it is made into an imported font. Within its settings you’ll find the option to toggle on for distance field. After toggling you need to right click the top and reselect the re-import option. That creates the proper dept of field font that actally works without having to go and manually specify sizing/creating by hand.
