Waypoint Map (Widget)
The WaypointMap widget (WBP_LN_WaypointMap) is a UserWidget that displays a cursor showing the direction to the currently active Waypoint similarly to a real compass indicating the North direction. This widget can optionally display information about the active waypoint. It will also automatically appear / disappear when a waypoint is enabled / disabled.
Usage:
- Add a WBP_LN_WaypointMap to your HUD widget.
- Tweak its settings to customise the waypoint’s behaviour.
- The widget will appear if a landmark is set as Active Waypoint.
See LandmarkNavigationSubsystem for all waypoint related functions.
See Content/Demo/Widget/WBP_LN_Demo_Hud, for an use example.
