C++ User Widget Animation
Version: 4.26.1
C++ only
Since I wanted everything to be written in C++ for my game, I needed
a c++ implementation of user widget animations.
It is quite simple: I wrote a UUserWidgetAnimation class which ticks
and updates transforms of widgets.
Also I wrote a UAnimatableUserWidget which has some utility functions to
create and store animations.
The construction is a bit awkward, you need to pass in a couple of nested struct
and TMap constructors but it works quite well and performant.
Warning: This relies on the Widget Render Tint engine modification found here.
You can also check out the code and change what uses SetRenderTint() but I found
when using UTextBlock::SetColorAndOpacity() it sometimes did not update,
so I implemented a RenderTint on UWidget.
