Opis

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.

Example Project: Demo Projects Drive

(The example project is for customers only, it works only when the plugin is already installed in the engine through the Epic Games Launcher).


Steps to Create a World Indicator:

  1. Create any User Widget

  2. Reference the User Widget in an Indicator Data Asset

  3. Call Add Indicator From Data Asset -> Done!

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.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

  • Split-Screen Ready — manages indicators per Player Controller, with each Player Controller owning its own set of indicators.

  • Multiplayer Support — built-in Network Component with Server RPCs, client filtering, and a overridable events for custom net logic.

  • Works with Any Widget — bring your own User Widget, optionally implement the Indicator Interface for animations and more.

  • Runtime Border Scale — editable in run-time and saved in GameUseSettings.ini, ready to use with your in-game settings menu

  • Soft Referenced — assets are automatically loaded when added and unloaded when removed.

  • Blueprint Function Library — accessible from any Blueprint, no setup required.

  • Async gameplay nodes — built-in distance, line-of-sight, and bounds events.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

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 supports online multiplayer through the World Indicator Network Component (UWorldIndicatorNetComponent).

Add this component to your Player Controller to enable networked indicator functionality.
