Guys I want the player to input where they would like to teleport to in the world and I was wondering if that was possible.
Hi, sure its possible. If you need to know how, then you need to ask more specific =)
For example you could popup a widget to select a location (from predifined locations or just by clicking on a map or …). Or you could click a key and teleport to a preset location that is linked to that key or …
Could you explain how I would go about relaying to the character because all I have is a button that opens the level where the character is.
I tried making a start screen that asked for the x y and z location then set variables to be the number that the user had inputted. In the character I set up a teleport and plugged in the variables but for some reason It is only taking the default value not the value that the user put in.
The Teleport in your second image will be immediately called after StartCreateWidget and will therefore use the default variables you have in your StartCreateWidget.
You could make a new button in your widget and when the player clicks it relay that to the character and do the teleport.
Save a reference to the character (or playercontroller if you’re switching characters) in your widget and when you click on the button, call an event on the character / playercontroller and from that do the teleport.
You can get a reference to the player character (would need to cast it to the class you’re using) via Get Player Character | Unreal Engine Documentation
and the player controller (would again need to cast it to the class you’re using) via Get Player Controller | Unreal Engine Documentation
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH IT WORKED
