QUICK SETUP

Get a Wheel Running Fast.

  1. Enable the RadialWheel plugin.
  2. Add a Radial Wheel Component to your character, pawn, or controller.
  3. Create or duplicate a RadialWheelConfig data asset.
  4. Assign the config to the component's Wheel Config field.
  5. Assign a widget class derived from RadialWheelWidget.
  6. Wire your input using Inject Open Input, Inject Stick Input, Inject Mouse Input, Inject Confirm Input, and Inject Cancel Input.

For a basic hold-to-open setup, call Inject Open Input(true) when the button is pressed and Inject Open Input(false) when it is released.

INPUT MODES

Common Control Patterns.

Mouse And Keyboard

Open and close the wheel with Inject Open Input, use the pointer or Inject Mouse Input for direction, and confirm with left click or Inject Confirm Input.

Gamepad

Use the open input to show the wheel and either let the component read the configured stick automatically or pass the values through Inject Stick Input.

Keyboard Or D-Pad Navigation

Enable keyboard navigation in the wheel config and use Highlight Next Radial Slot, Highlight Previous Radial Slot, and Handle Radial Wheel Keyboard Step.

Custom Input And Accessibility

The Inject* functions are generic enough to support Enhanced Input, controller abstraction layers, widget buttons, accessibility surfaces, and VR pointer systems.
