So we recently implemented a global sound slider for our SFX and Music.  We used the UMG Menu to implement this, and there have been a few changes to UE4 since we made the last tutorial.  In this tutorial we are going to go over the implementation of the sound slider. Keep a look-out for our updated UMG menu tutorial also.

How to Create a Menu in Unreal Engine 4.6 using Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) - Part 2

Alright guys. After a very long hiatus, IDKUDK has returned with our UMG tutorial series UE4.6 has been released (and 4.7 is pending), so here's the newest iteration of how to build a basic menu using UMG. Epic has added new features to UMG, including the ability to use 3D menus, but that will have to wait for a later tutorial.

This tutorial picks up where we left off in the last UMG tutorial.

How to Update your Unreal Engine 4.4 UMG Menu to Work in 4.5

When I updated my project from to Unreal Engine 4.5, my Unreal Motion Graphics menu still looked alright, but the buttons no longer fired. If you followed my earlier tutorial (or set up a menu on your own in 4.4), then there is an easy fix to get your menu up and running again. This is a short tutorial on how to update your Unreal Engine 4.4 UMG Menu to 4.5.

How to Create a Menu in Unreal Engine 4.5 using Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) - Part 1

Unreal has changed up how the Unreal Motion Graphics tool works between release 4.4, when it was experimental, and 4.5 for the official release. If you updated your old project to 4.5 and you had a menu in place from 4.4, you probably found that certain menu items may have been removed and that your key bindings no longer work.

This updated tutorial set will cover how to create a UMG menu so that works in Unreal Engine 4.5.

(Note: If your menu still looks fine, but does not function correctly, skip over to my post on how to update your UMG 4.4 Menu to 4.5)

This is the second and final part of my tutorial on how to create a menu in Unreal Engine using UMG. Here we will cover how to hook up blueprint functions to the menu buttons you created in Part 1 to make them work.

There are several options (both free and paid) that you can use to create menus for your game in UE4. The latest menu tool that Epic has been creating is called Unreal Motion Graphics or UMG. Right now this is an experimental tool and they are still adding features to it , but it's been developed enough to start using in your projects. This is Part 1 of a tutorial on how to use UMG to add a menu to your game.
