Lyra Project Settings related to Common UI

This is part of How Common UI is Setup in LyraStarterGame. Read that as well for more info.

Project Settings: Gameplay Tags

DefaultGameplayTags.ini

[/Script/GameplayTags.GameplayTagsSettings]
+GameplayTagList=(Tag="UI.Action.Back",DevComment="")
+GameplayTagList=(Tag="UI.Layer.Game",DevComment="")
+GameplayTagList=(Tag="UI.Layer.GameMenu",DevComment="")
+GameplayTagList=(Tag="UI.Layer.Menu",DevComment="")
+GameplayTagList=(Tag="UI.Layer.Modal",DevComment="")

Project Settings: Plugins / Common UI Input Settings

UI.Action.Escape Action Tag assigned to:

• Keyboard Escape key
• Gamepad Special Right button

Project Settings: Game / Common Input Settings

Assign Project-wide UI Input Mappings:

Input.Input Data = B_CommonInputData

There is a lot of platform-specific input configuration in this section, for Android, HoloLens, IOS, Linux, LinuxArm64, Mac, TVOS and Windows, including both MKB and Gamepad input configs as appropriate.

For more details about how each platform is configured, see the Game / Common Input Settings section in Project Settings.

Common Input Data

B_CommonInputData : public UCommonUIInputData from CommonUI

ID	Data Table	Data Key	Windows Default	Xbox Default	PS Default
Default Click Action	DT_UniversalActions	DefaultForward	None	(A)	(O)
Default Back Action	DT_UniversalActions	DefaultBack	Escape	(B)	(X)

Consider changing Default Click Action for MKB = ENTER key

Universal Actions Data Table

DT_UniversalActions : public CommonInputActionDataBase from CommonUI

This Data Table lists input actions that Common UI will react to.

There are some things defined here that I’m not sure why they’re here. Maybe they’re used, maybe not. Need to deep dive Lyra to find out.

The two that are definitely used are DefaultForward and DefaultBack.

Project Settings: Plugins / Common UI Editor

There are a few settings here to configure the default Text, Button and Border style for the project.

Default Style	Asset
Text	Content/UI/Foundation/Text/TextStyle-Regular
Border	(None)
Button	Content/UI/Foundation/Buttons/ButtonStyle-Primary-M
