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.
