# How To Use

### Overview

The SHADERSOURCE Runtime Tooltips plugin has three main functions:

* **Tooltip Overlay**: The Tooltip Overlay UMG is the UI intended to be added to the Player HUD for viewing Tooltips as they are triggered.
* **Tooltip History**: The Tooltip History UMG is the UI intended to be show previous triggered tooltips (usually through other UI).
* **Modal Popup**s: The Modal Popup UMG is a popup window to show a message with any number of buttons (usually 1-3) and usually pauses the game.

It also includes a special Data Asset type:

* **SHADERSOURCE Tooltip Map**: A Tooltip Map is a Data Asset that holds tooltip strings to easily manage them so that you don't have to find them in your Blueprints or code.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shadersource.io/coming-soon/shelved-runtime-tooltips/how-to-use.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
