Description

World Indicator System is a UE5 plugin for adding screen-space indicators to your game — tracking actors and locations both on-screen and off-screen, with full support for split-screen and online multiplayer out of the box.

Works with any User Widget, independent of setup.

Built around a World Subsystem, it manages everything from memory to the canvas. Add it into any project and start placing indicators in minutes — all you need is a User Widget, a Player Controller and something to point at.

World Indicator System aims to be the all-in-one screen indicator solution for any Unreal Engine 5 project — whether it's a single player experience, an online multiplayer game, or a local co-op title. Flexible enough to cover simple use cases in minutes, and robust enough to scale with the most complex ones.
