hi can you use set visibility (scene component) to set the visibility of a widget component or must you use set visibility (widget) the latter requires a cast from the widget component to its base widget to get it to build it seems i cant get the former to work thanks

[image] barbrian0723: what do you mean set visibility is only for editor Visibility of course work, But… Normally, Visibility is used in the editor and hidden in-game for gameplay. This is because, for example, when you’re in the editor, you want to see the lines that have a trigger or an a…

No, a scene component is not related to a widget. You should not need the upcast, though; every method on a base class is already available on a subclass

you cant plug in a widget component into set visibility (widget) that is why i used a cast - to get from the widget component to a widget in order to use set visibility (widget)

yes that is what i am doing and yes it works my initial question is whether one can use set visibility (scene component) to set a widget component’s visibility seeing that a widget component is also a scene component and you can actually plug a widget component into a set visibility (scene compone…

Sorry, I think you were saying something about casting. But are you sure “hidden in game” doesn’t work? I’m pretty sure it should.

by casting i mean transitioning from widget component to widget with the appropriate node (get widget) if i use set visibility (scene component) and plug a widget component into it, it does not seem to work have not tried set hidden in game for this - think it is perhaps easier to stick to widget…

[image] barbrian0723: have not tried set hidden in game for this - Well, you shouldn’t use Visibility for gameplay. It’s for editor time. For gameplay, you just have to use “hidden in game.” But it should still work. I’m starting to doubt I understand your problem, haha. Because you’ve made…

lol objective was not to get you to doubt what do you mean set visibility is only for editor will it not work in gameplay it works when i simulate so that is why i never worried about using it thanks seems set hidden (scene component) can be used apart from set visibility (widget) apart for you…

can you use set visibility (scene component) to set the visibility of a widget component
