Creating a multi-Cursor for splitscreen coop

[TartanWarrior14]

I’m building a local splitscreen game in Unreal Engine 5.6 using Blueprints, and I need each player to have their own cursor on the character select screen. The problem is that only one player can interact with the UI at a time; the other players’ cursors are visible but won’t move or register any UI interactions. This isn’t an online setup—strictly local multiplayer. I’ve got per‑player cursors displaying, but they don’t respond to input or trigger UI events. I’m looking for guidance on making all players’ cursors fully functional so they can simultaneously navigate and select characters.

Also, I found a post similar to what you’re trying to do that might be helpful!

Or you could create a container widget that updates the positions of any n…
