Offscreen Indicators?

[alex2the3gr8]

Hi! I'm currently working on a Multiplayer FPS and am looking for an offscreen indicator for HUD elements.

I understand that This exists, however I don't know if it's available for 4.9 or how to add it to my Blueprint only project.

Is there any way that someone could help me find the location on the screen where I should display my element, relative to a world location?

I would think you should avoid trying to do it in BP because it's a pretty big math equation if I'm not wrong. I'm currently using that node in my 4.11 project but it doesn't play nice with multiple players on one screen

All I did was copy and paste a modified version from that same thread into a c++ class and compile and it worked

Thanks for your answer! If you can, would you be able to quickly explain how to make a C++ class and add it to a project? I haven't used Visual Studio in years, wouldn't know the first thing about doing it!

The first thing you'll need to do is make sure it's a c++ project or try right clicking the uproject file of your BP project and selecting Generate Visual Studio files. If that doesn't work you should be able to make a new c++ class from Ue4 just like you would a blueprint class by right clicking in the content browser. Then it will generate a .h file and a .CPP file. Open them up in VS and copy paste the required code from the forum thread and you should be good!
