Guides How to Implement a WoW-like Quest Hovering Icon

[El Suplantar]

El Suplantar submitted a new resource:

How to Make a WoW-like Quest Hovering Icon - A video guide explaining how to make a hovering icon.

Below are the WoW Quest Icon images that I slapped together. Download one or all three of them, it's up to you, but I do prefer the "More_Yellow" one.

Make sure you save the image(s) in the "VAM/custom" folder, so there won't be any save issues. I also recommend making a new folder in "VAM/custom" called "images" if you haven't created one already.

There may be a better way of doing this type of thing and if there is please tell me about it. But for now, this is the way I know of doing it.

Nice, I would never have the idea to use the plugins for this. I followed everything and it works but my Icon is a little bit to much on the forehead. How I can check that I clicked on the right head node?

Ok, I moved the empty atom manually and the sphere is beside the head but it works.

Azshara Look: @Denngar

Changed it to the newer icon


Can I save the Pluginpresets from the uiimage?

Nice and clear guide.
How do you move the Empty to the cursor position, that seems super-useful?

If you want to manually move the marker, you need to check Allow Possess/Grab in the menu

Yeah I know that, ty.
I mean in your example video, the UiImage "teleported" to your mouse cursors position (at ~01:12). Or is the video just edited?

Ah at 1.13 you see @El Suplantar clicking on the head node. Then it's snapping to there. (but it's not my tutorial)
