Flexible Directional Menu

A modular, data-driven directional equipment & action menu system for Unreal Engine.

Flexible Directional Menu (FDM) is a highly modular and data-driven menu system designed for directional (cross-style) equipment and action selection — inspired by modern AAA titles.

Unlike classic radial wheel menus, FDM is built around directional navigation, container-based slot groups, and data-driven layouts, making it ideal for games that require fast, precise, and tactile item or ability selection.

It is not just a UI widget — it is a flexible, extendable system designed to integrate seamlessly into real game architectures.

Whether you are building a tactical shooter, an action RPG, or a survival game, FDM gives you a modern, professional directional menu with full control over structure, behavior, and visuals.

Features:

• Directional Menu System
  Cross-style navigation instead of a radial wheel — perfect for D-Pad, controller-first UX.

• Example Item & Inventory System
  It comes with a sample item and inventory system to explain how the integration will be done.

• Fully Data-Driven Architecture
  Layouts, slots, spacing, animations, sounds, and behaviors are configured through Data Assets — no hardcoded layouts.

• Modular & Decoupled Design
  Component-based logic, independent widgets, and interface-driven integration allow you to use only the parts you need.

• Event-Driven Communication

• Inventory & Ability System Agnostic
  Works with any inventory, item, or ability system — just provide metadata via interfaces.

• Runtime Editing & Reordering
  Add, remove, move, and swap entries dynamically at runtime.

• Easy Integration
  Drop-in Actor Component with Blueprint-friendly APIs and example integrations.

• Highly Customizable UI
  Customize:

  • Slot size and spacing

  • Animations and interpolation speeds

  • Sound feedback

  • Styles and visuals
