The code is firing, but i need a way to debug my code to fix some bugs. But the problem is the breakpoint is not working. Nothing happen when the code pass trough a breakpoint.

Try putting the break on the node before. Also it’s worth noting that print nodes are often better at helping you debug than the debugger. You can’t rely on the values of variables in the debugger.

Hey, thanks for the reply,  
The breakpoint was not working on any part of Widget blueprint, the print string node was only to check if my Custom event was actually firing. But _i just restarted the editor_ and the breakpoint started working again.

cheers.

Wow, I had the same issue a second within a few days in 5.5 and just realized a restart really fixed it.
