Menu Popup Component

[DaQueenGames]

Essentially the readable component, but pops open a menu instead. Something like interacting with the laptop will pull up the laptop screen so you can interact. I've created a rudimentary one for my game, but am sure other people could use something like it. I'd be happy to share my draft if you are interested.

Sure, that could be cool.
I assume it's gonna be a generic one to be used for multiple interfaces? (to go with your laptop example: i picture something like an interface that always has Emails and maybe some files or even a control switch, like the one in PREY 2017)

Depending on the complexity, I assume this would also include some modular way to organize the data contained within.

The way I have it now, is I have the component and UI scene i want to popup. It has a variable pointing to the UI node, and shows and hides it in the same manner as the readable component. I dealt with all the data I mess with in the UI node since mine is mostly buttons at the moment.

Some improvements I am looking into is making it so that when its hidden, it appears on the object (ie on the screen)

Oh, I think I understand.
If your UI Interface is fully diegetic like that, I'd probably leave it as that and instead add a function to switch the camera to focus it nicely. This is something that the 3D Fallout games do for example, when you use a terminal.
