If you’re not sure how to add variable to a blueprint, I think the first step would be to go watch a few tutorial to get the hang of it. If you’ve never touched UE4 / blueprints, the Unreal has great tutorial series too that I’d recommend watching > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from... Here’s one made by someone(aka not unreal) that seems to teach how to handle mouse click and touch events. It’s probably with a previous version of the engine but it still will get you some insight.
