CommonUI EP 3: Navigation

CommonUI currently uses the built in UMG navigation system, it will eventually get a special system but for now lets learn how to use what we already have.

Hello!

Sorry you might have covered this already and i wasnt able to find it.

I am currently doing a death screen (widget). On construct I add my Input mapping context for navigation. I only have 2 buttons on that widget: main menu, and restart the level.

I thought i could simply just get the IA_MyInputAction event in the widget graph and then do my logic that way for selecting buttons (i have some animation on hovered/unhovered playing), however apparently you can't do these input action events from anywhere besides the character/level BP? I also want it to work with gamepad and play those same hovered/unhovered anims on the buttons.

Am i overcomplicating things here, or how would I go about doing this with enhanced input & common ui? Or if in case you went over something like that already in this series, would you be able to point me to the exact video? Thank you!

What does it mean to "GOTO" a widget? How does it determine that a widget is something it would want to stop on? Once it is on a widget, what does it do to that widget to highlight it? Does it set it to hover state? I feel like the underlying basics are missing.
