Widgets that are off-screen or invisible do not tick. Why? To save on performance. It’d be nice to be given choice here, though. The most common mishap is trying to use a widget’s tick to move it, it goes off-screen and gets stuck there.

This can be enabled for widget components.

That’s the solution. Have another BP drive it.
