PSD sources included, put in your own code and name, swap the colour and animation

A 1280x720 widget of five image layers, shown to every player by one HUD Message Device, with the border animated by a material.

A map code typed into a HUD message is plain white text that nobody screenshots. This puts the code inside a designed badge with a border that keeps moving, built as a UEFN widget. Edit two text layers in Photoshop, export, and place one device.

What it does

• 📺Code on every player's screen: The badge is pushed out by a HUD Message Device placed on the island — every player sees the same code overlay without a Verse file or a custom HUD controller.
• 🎬Border that keeps moving: The animation is driven by the CodeImage_Rainbow material instead of a sequence of exported frames — it loops for as long as the badge is on screen and costs one material, not a flipbook.
• 🎨Colour swapped in one texture: The border colours come from a texture sheet plugged into that material — drop in the rainbow, black-and-pink or striped sheet and the whole badge changes colour without touching the widget.
• ✏️Photoshop template for the code: MAP CODE.psd carries the island code and the creator name on separate text layers — type yours, export the PNG, and you keep the original font, bevel and spacing.
• 🧩Five image layers you can move: The island_code widget is an Overlay holding five images, each with its own brush, position, size and rotation in the Details panel — rescale the badge or shift it in the frame without redrawing anything.

What you can change

The island code and the creator name, in the text layers of the Photoshop file; the border colour, by swapping the texture feeding the CodeImage_Rainbow material; and the brush, position, size and rotation of each of the five image layers in the island_code widget.

Requirements & setup

Photoshop is needed, because the code and the name live in a .psd rather than a device field. Drop the folder into your project's Content, open the island_code widget, point the image layers at your exported PNG, and place one HUD Message Device on the island.

What's inside

The island_code widget (1280x720, five image layers), the CodeImage_Rainbow material with its texture sheets in rainbow, black-and-pink and striped variants, the MAP CODE Photoshop templates with the code and the creator name on separate text layers, and a setup note for the HUD Message Device.

Good to know

The code and the name are baked into a texture, so changing them means editing the .psd and re-exporting, not typing into a device panel. The layout is one fixed 1280x720 badge — rearranging it means editing the image layers by hand. The colour lives in a texture rather than a colour picker, so a new shade means a new sheet.
