We’ll cover everything step-by-step:
🔹 Creating a minimal, reusable interaction widget
🔹 Displaying interaction text dynamically (e.g. “Press E to Pick Up”)
🔹 Updating the HUD only when an interactable object is detected
🔹 Keeping the setup modular and easy to expand
By the end, you’ll have a fully functional UI system that connects seamlessly with your interaction component, keeping your project organized and scalable for future features.
Whether you’re working on a horror game, story-driven experience, or open-world project, this tutorial will help you build immersive, polished player interactions.
