UMG Widgets in Unreal Editor for Fortnite

User Widgets are designed in the Widget Editor with UMG Widgets.

The Widget Editor in UEFN.

User Widgets are like maps in that they trace the route between a UMG Widget and the device functions. Being able to read a User Widget will help you to understand the makeup of a UI. From the Widget Editor, you can examine:

• The UI layout and design.
• The Viewmodel functions.
• The widget bindings in View Bindings.

In the feature template, open the HUD Controller folder and double-click on the UW_HCD01 widget to learn more about how that widget was created and bound to the HUD Controller device.
