The Completed Start Screen

This tutorial will go through how to create a Start/Main Menu for a game on Unreal Engine. In a previous tutorial we showed that when setting up a level on Unreal Engine, for settings we added With Starter Content.

Starter Content

Getting Started

The first thing you do go to your user interface folder in the Content Browser. When you click into the folder and then right click on a black space anywhere in the folder. A tool bar will then appear. Scroll down and click on the User Interface bar and then select the Widget Blueprints sub bar.  A new widget file will appear and you then name it, for example Start_Screen. You then save it.

UI Folder

Design

With your new User Interface file, you click into it which brings you into widget editor. We will be making the buttons and background image with the designer.

Widget Editor

Palette

You first select Button on the Palette. To place it onto the screen. Note: if anything is unable to be dragged onto the screen, you can still drag it onto the Hierarchy, onto the Canvas Panel, it will still appear. A Details Panel will show like in the Level Editor where you can fix anchor points, positioning etc.

Hierarchy

After you place your buttons onto the screen, you bring in a text block for each of your buttons.For the Text that you're going to use for your title and your buttons, have a custom font installed, and have it looking suitable to your game.

Text Block

You use the Details Panel to make the colour, font and text content.

So for each button we need to give each a name and a background colour. So for this we will name our buttons START and QUIT. 

Menu Buttons

After you have your buttons made, bring in your background image. The image that we use is was imported into the UI folder in the Content Browser. From the Palette, drag on IMAGE. In the Details Panel, in Appearances, click into Brush. Here you can select the image you have imported by searching for it. When you have your image, adjust its size so it fills as a background screen.
