UE3 - UDK pop up message and options

[dakenho]

I have had great success generating a level with lots of interesting interactive switches, lights, and ai spawns. But what I can not figure out is how to create/adjust the user interface. All things that I can find say you need to create and such things in flash then import them. My question is there a way to get pop messages or options for a player? For instance, a player comes across a strange object, option 1: kick it, option 2: examine closely. or even splash page where users can set difficulty or choose from single or multi-player. I find it hard to believe unreal would not have this ability programed in.

also if any one has any good book recommendations about unreal I would love to read them

I'd look at the one udk uses when you press Esc... the one that asks if you want to quit or cancel

I do not get pop up when I hit escape it usually just goes back to the editor with out any prompts. Do I have to do a full compile to get this?

yea, pressing esc in the editor just kills it. you have to launch outside of the editor to see it. also, the whole front end is interactive (again, not in editor)
