Make any UI multiplatform & gamepad compatible with Common UI plugin for Fortnite Unreal Engine 5
I have been looking for a way on how to make sure a UI is multiplatform and also gamepad compatible while switching dynamically between gamepad and Keyboard & Mouse. While developing my game https://www.evolvationthegame.com/ years ago I was facing the same problem and we where required to implement some shady workaround to get it working nicely.
Years later I was googling for new solutions and I was quite surprised to find the Common UI plugin. Apparently it is made for Fortnite and Epic Games has released it within Unreal Engine 5! Check out the documentation of Epic of this plugin here: https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-... and check details on how they use in in Fortnite here: https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-...
I have been trying to make the knowledge about this system my own. I think I am finally getting the hang of it. Check out my video on what I have made!
I am really happy with the dynamic creation of an action bar which switches based on which controller is used at that moment in realtime.
Let me know what you think of it! I might do a tutorial series if there is any need and desire of you.
