This little mod does absolutely nothing other than opening a sample widget. However, it provides two ways to do so; via a hotkey (F10 by default, but it uses a variable so could be set to anything) or a multi-use wheel option. It does so by adding a world singleton (ModBaseSample_Singleton_BP) which adds two buffs to every player who spawns:
Buff_ModBaseSample_Hotkeysis an invisible buff which enables input and will listen for a recognized hotkey; upon receiving that key, it will show whatever widget it is set to show.Buff_ModBaseSample_MultiUseis an invisible buff which adds an option to the Multi-Use menu; when that option is selected, it will show whatever widget it is set to show.
The widget shown is a simple little dialog box that does nothing, but which will appropriately set up user input upon being added to the viewport, and clean up after itself afterwards.
Just check this project out, and make sure the ModBaseSample directory is placed into your ARKDevkit\Projects\ShooterGame\Mods directory; you may need to enable the mod in the UGC menu before it will appear. Feel free to use this as the base for a mod, import the files to make use of them in your own mod, whatever. Go nuts!
In a real mod, you would almost certainly want to combine the Hotkey and Multi-Use buffs so that you're only adding one persistent invisible buff; they're separated here not for technical reasons but just so that the examples are nicely self-contained in their own buffs.
