blueprint zooper + autolink?
For AutoLink, generally the end of the belt has to be exactly one regular nudge tick (100 units) into the connection port. Not sure how that corresponds to the zoop mod parameters but it might be helpful to somebody

blueprint zooper + autolink?
@Raicu I don’t know how blueprint zooping works so I can’t speak to whether I would expect them work together (I’ve never tried, myself), but can you highlight the belt in that screenshot with the dismantle gun so I can see if the belt ends visually looks to be in the correct place?

blueprint zooper + autolink?
AutoLink should work for belt-to-belt, too, as long as the belts are perfectly aligned and going in the same direction.

Adding my own buttons to BPW_MapMenu
That was just using WidgetBlueprintHooks on the instance module, no extra hooking.

Adding my own buttons to BPW_MapMenu
To recap the solution, rather than piece together widgets in C++, I made the whole widget in UE and then used Bind on BP Function: Construct to find and insert the widget at runtime, but only because widget blueprint hooks didn't work (the widget only got inserted on the first map screen open... there's a quirk there that somebody might want to sort out... I'd do it if I had more time right now). Then I had to sort out button layout and alignment, which yeshjho helped with.

Adding my own buttons to BPW_MapMenu
I had to "Clip to Bounds" on BOTH the scale boxes AND the buttons to get it to look right. I don't really know why; I tried without the scale boxes and it reverted to funky alignment.

Adding my own buttons to BPW_MapMenu
Ah, yes, there it is and it was simpler than I realized. Just set the alignments to Center (NOT Fill) and Clipping to Clip to Bounds.

Adding my own buttons to BPW_MapMenu
I was able to sort of solve the button issues by wrapping them all in individual scale boxes. That centered them but also shrunk them a bit more than I'd like. Shouldn't there be some way to center the button but also hide/clip off the parts that would extend outside of the hbox cell?

Adding my own buttons to BPW_MapMenu
Unfortunately, neither of those solved the button alignment, so I still need to figure that out. But I got the buttons added to the map menu regularly using Bind on BP Function: Construct... combined with a LOT more glue work than normal widget blueprint hooks.
