UI Widgets can only be created and existing in Clients.
Makes no sense network replicated code for Widgets.
so there is no way of doing what i want to do?
UI code must be entirely Client side.
UI code must never contain gameplay logic.
UI code must never affect gameplay property containers directly.
You can of course ignore all the above, but in every game engine out there those rules apply.
Once you begin derailing from those simple rules above, you hurt your own project and quickly reach convoluted/confused interface code, like screenshots above.
When dealing with UI, I pretend that its entities are some kind of “spectator”; and I develop it to act accordingly.
The only intrusive they should do is generate input events for their relevant gameplay entities, like telling Pawn a skill button was pressed then pawn decide what to do with that event.
If that confuses you, try to build the game first… Add UI last, only after gameplay is solid.
