I am new to Unreal Engine, and this is probably a dumb question to ask, but I was wondering how would you show a text (that is on a wall in a game) that only appears when a flashlight is hovering over it?

you could use line trace or a system to when it activate the overlap text set visibility to true
That would just make the text pop in and out of existence. A smooth way would be to only show the text widget through another object which renders with custom depth. The lighting system itself is not used for this effect, it’s a material effect.

i made something fast with the first person shooter template for you but it work.
1: in the first person character add a variable called isflashlightopen? then add the blueprint for when f is press and released with the variable
2: create an actor
3: add a text render inside the actor you created
4: add this blueprint inside of the actor
5: add the actor to the world and press play then press F to show the text (simulated flashlight)
