I’m a bit confused here.
Okay so currently the widget does not
tick at all unless I do the add to
viewport bit mentioned above.
This is as intended - widgets that are not showing do not Tick as mentioned above.
Without
that add to viewport you cant see the
widget at all and the tick does not
run.
That also makes sense. But you’re using a widget component, you even mentioned this:
“The widget W_PlayerSelectWheel_C’ was
already added to the screen.”
Essentially, if you’re using a widget component, you select a widget a class on the component itself. This widget component will maintain its widget:
If you’re not using a widget component, your job is to add / remove widget to / from the viewport if you want to see it.
