If you do editor customizations in Unreal Engine, enable the SlateIM plugin and run: SlateIM.ToggleSlateStyleBrowser Thank me later.

UE5.6で導入された Slate IM プラグインについての解説する講演が公開されました。 youtube.com/watch?v=zilYOy… デバッグ機能などを構築する際に、この機能の確認をしておくと効率が上がりそうです。C++

@MiltonCandelero What's it missing?

I had worked with Lyra for so long that I forgot that the Common UI base implementation of TabList is not functional 😅

@kiaran_ritchie There's also DisableOptimizeCode you can use in your BuildConfiguration.xml, then you don't need to remember to remove it.

Do you like immediate mode UI libraries like Dear ImGui? There is now experimental SlateIM plugin in ue5-main which provides immediate API for Slate. github.com/EpicGames/Unre…

New article ! Let's dive into the notion of screen DPI and how unreal has its own implementation to help us make more responsive UI 😄 Might also provide some hints as to what's in those widgets FGeometry 👀 Hope you enjoy ! #unreal #UE5 #gamedev sharundaar.github.io/unraveling-the…

@GameDevMicah I can't remember

What’s the most forgettable key on your board?!

MDMetaDataEditor now supports setting metadata on user defined Structs and their properties. There's also pre-built releases available on GitHub for Unreal 5.1+

@Sharundaar Sometimes you gotta give a subpar answer to motivate the other people to give a better answer.

Sometimes, staying sane means someone ask something, you know the answer, but you don't answer. Sometimes other people closer to the subject also know the answer and deal with it better than you

if you struggle finding documentation for some Unreal Engine feature... Remember. The .h files are the docs.

@Sharundaar You're in Canada, right? Simple tax is pretty dope (by Wealthsimple)

Welp, I guess I'll find something else to fill my taxes

@gackdaw @QuodSoler It can! x.com/DoubleDeez/sta…

@QuodSoler Yeah I love this. Wish it could be done through blueprint properties too sometimes, for speed

If you have a FGameplayTag property you can use the "meta" property "Categories" to only show certain tags in the editor dropdown. In this simple example, all this tags will only show tags under "Quod.Animation.<Whatever>". It's useful to keep things organized and user friendly.

@DMeville You can use the "obj refs name=NameOfMyWidget" command to see what's keeping it alive.

@DoubleDeez Yeah this is what I was curious about, trying to see if it is _actually_ getting removed all the way. Running that command does NOT make it disappear from the list. So I'm confused why it's being kept around. Any idea? Seems like it is not being gc'd and never being deleted

What is the correct way to destroy a UI widget in unreal? In the level bp I creating it, adding it to viewport, and storing a ref to it (img 1), when I want it gone I remove from parent, and set the ref to it to null (img 2). But obj shows (No Slate Widget) still in the debugger

@DMeville Yeah you can run the command "obj gc" to test that it properly cleans up with garbage collection.

Like I would assume that it would not show up from the debug object list, but it shows still just now with (No slate widget) in its name. Is that…fine?

@OMSmolina I haven't been able to find a reverse KVM that does what we want for 2x3 monitor setups (let alone 3x3). Anything even close only supports low resolutions. So you're probably best going that approach. I might eventually crack them open and wire them up to a single button.

@DoubleDeez Look, this thing appeared in the recommended section, I could do manual on each output like you do🤔 a.co/d/3VySpq4

Does anyone know of a KVM for monitors or any system that can do this? I want to have triple monitor like the drawing and whenever I want I can transfer the signal to the other 3 monitors group, only 3 monitors should be active.

@OMSmolina I got these since I only had 2 monitor clusters a.co/d/5yxbfNu

@DoubleDeez Thanks for answering! What DisplayPort Switches do you have?🤔

@DMeville Try adding DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.Latest; in your .builds.cs

Trying to rebuild my project solution for forked version of UE5.4 with rider. And getting this error. "default member initializers for bit-fields requires at least '/std:c++20'", how fix?

@DMeville I think that works with " as well

Today I learned in Rider if you have text selected and press the (' or ')' key on your keyboard, it will add BOTH opening and closing parentheses WRAPPED around the selected text. omg

@Sharundaar FBlueprintEditor::GetVarIconAndColorFromProperty and SLayeredImage are nice if you're working with FPropertys (and also supports TMap icons)

Code to make that small "pill" widget that maps to easily recognizable types in unreal :
