Design Philosophy
The LimenHints Module is designed to provide a flexible and extensible system for managing hints in games built using the Unreal Engine. It leverages Unreal's powerful widget system to create customizable hint displays, while also providing a robust trigger mechanism to control when these hints are shown.
Recommended Integration
Developers can integrate this module into their projects by creating instances of ALimenHintTrigger and associating them with actors that should display hints under certain conditions. The ULimenHintWidget class can be extended or replaced with custom widgets to tailor the appearance and behavior of the hints to the game's needs. Additionally, developers can extend the functionality of the module by creating new classes that inherit from ALimenHintsManager to manage more complex hint behaviors or integrate with other systems within their games.
