Get owner of Widget Component from inside Widget Blueprint?

[jacksonnexhip]

Hi all I have a widget blueprint I want to be able to get information from the parent actor.

There are nodes inside the Widget Blueprint for getting owning player, but what if the owner isn’t a player but just an actor with a Widget Component?

i.e. this is my actor setup (I want to have the widget blueprint GET text from it’s owner actor and display it.)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think it’s not possible directly.

But you can have some solutions to get it.
For instance :
Create a variable in your widget , an object reference of what you need (here your widget component)
Get Widget component → get the current widget → set your variable ( here the widget component)
