Hello everyone!

I am wanting to show a UI Icon of the equipment equipped to an equipment slot on an Ability Choice Button. Where would I start to add this additional content to the Ability choice?

The only way I can see this working is via using a HUD in your Ability Content Layout settings of your ability menu screen (or the battle menu's ability option).
E.g. using UI Key Setup to use shortcut UI.

To get the menu user in the shortcut UI prefab for displaying the combatant's equipment, you can use the HUD Menu Shop User (Content Provider) component. Use that as content provider for the equipment HUD elements.

@gamingislove Thank you for the insight! Excuse my lack of understanding about HUD creation. I am having trouble wrapping my head around the steps here to create and use a Shortcut UI.

So am I creating a HUD prefab to add as a HUD that I can choose in my Battle Menu > Ability Option > Ability Content Layout?

I am unsure how to create the HUD for this. Is there a tutorial I should follow?

Always appreciative of your support!

The shortcuts HUD tutorial has an example setup.
You need to create shortcut UI prefabs and use them for your shortcut UI setup in the editor.
