Code Examples​

Setting Metadata:

void UInventorySlot::SetItem(UItemData* Item)
{
    FLayeredToolTipTriggerData TriggerData;
    TriggerData.TooltipData.Add("Type", "Item");
    TriggerData.TooltipData.Add("ItemId", Item->GetItemId());
    TriggerData.TooltipData.Add("Rarity", Item->GetRarityString());
    TriggerData.TriggerPayload = Item;
    
    ULayeredTooltipFunctionLibrary::RegisterWidgetAsTooltipTrigger(this, TriggerData);
}

Type-Based Processing in Tooltip Widgets:

void UMyTooltipWidget::InitializeLayeredTooltip_Implementation(const FLayeredToolTipTriggerData& TriggerData)
{
    FString Type = TriggerData.TooltipData.FindRef("Type");
    
    if (Type == "Item")
    {
        ConfigureItemLayout(TriggerData);
    }
    else if (Type == "Skill")
    {
        ConfigureSkillLayout(TriggerData);
    }
}

Conditional Styling:

void UMyTooltipWidget::ConfigureItemLayout(const FLayeredToolTipTriggerData& TriggerData)
{
    // Rarity-based coloring
    FString Rarity = TriggerData.TooltipData.FindRef("Rarity");
    FLinearColor Color = GetRarityColor(Rarity);
    BorderImage->SetColorAndOpacity(Color);
    
    // Level-based additional information
    FString Level = TriggerData.TooltipData.FindRef("Level");
    if (FCString::Atoi(*Level) >= 5)
    {
        AdvancedPanel->SetVisibility(ESlateVisibility::Visible);
    }
}
