I created most of my game in C++, and made it part of the challenge to do so. So no blueprints. But now it comes the part of the UI and im super confused on how do i make this work without having to make Blueprints out of all the actors that will need to be represent in the UI, or access or modify …

Make the widget in c++ based on UUserWidget. Add in all variables you want to change via c++ and you can make them visible in UMG via BindWidget UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, meta = (BindWidget)) class UTextBlock* TitleLabel; UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, meta = (BindWidget)) class UImage* IconIma…

thanks so much. So basically this will BIND. Is this like the BIND that we see in the UMG editor? Because one time i was using this Bind and a friend of mine told me not to use it. Because we are going to need a lot of that, and if we bind it all its not going to be good for performance. So we …

Thanks. So thats what i will do. Just create an actor that is specifically created just be the intermediary between my C++ units and the UMG. I think thats more clean. I never liked stuff ticking and polling every frame :slight_smile:

Do i have to create blueprint actor to access widget?
