Custom Event called in child blueprint "Accessed none trying to read property"

[CrankyBob]

Like the title said. I’m pressing a button to open a sliding door. The button works. But the error shows up when I try to run the function. What am I missing? I followed along to a youtube tutorial but mine just won’t run the function.

Hi!

Probably object “SidePanelOpenClose” is not set to anything in “EscapeHatch_Btn”.

You can check that by adding node “IsValid” and passing object to it. Just add nodes “PrintString” after “IsValid” node to check if object is properly set up.

If my assumption is correct, then you need to somehow get this object before trying to access his function “PanelOpenClose”. The proper way is probably shown in the tutorial you are following.

So how do i get this object?

edit; In the lower pciture you can see I tried to link SidePanelOpenClose to EscapeHatch_Btn.

This is how I solved the problem. Im not sure if this is the cleanest way but hey. It works. Thanks for the help
