Customisable Icon System | melissaprosser

A customisable icon system for UE4.

CURRENTLY WORKING ON MINIMAP INTEGRATION.

The system is customizable and easy to use.

Your first need to set the gameplay tags in your project settings relevant to the icons you need, EG. Main Quest.

You then need to create a data table using the icon struct that is provided; setting the basic details about each icon type.

You can then add an icon to any actor by adding the iconComponent and setting the details.

Customisable icon system.

- Add as many icons as you want,

- Add as many stages of icons as you want, EG. quest available, quest active, quest complete.

- Easy to set up details per Icon.

- Automatically scales per distance (also definable)

- Activate / deactivate icons which show and don't show automatically.
