Getting Reference To The Widget

[AmerMeh]

Hello,
Id like to make a Reference to the Widget so I can “Bind Event” from that Widget. Any suggestions how I could get reference to that Widget, without using “AddComponent->Widget” or “Create Widget(cant add it to Viewport)”
Thank you

This?

[AmerMeh]

Yes I need Return Value so I could, like you can see it up there, Bind Evenet to…

[Shunitzo]

That’s “Create Widget” node. You can get ref form it.

Its in VR so i cant add it to viewport to fire it. Ive tried like in the picture (with Create Widget) but never gets casted.

You can make 3D widget.

Watched it , huh, how can I explain it. Its like already made programm im just making tutorial for it, so im not allowed to change code, cuz the widget i need is already connected to other widgets, and is later used in “radial menu”, so I cant recreate it or smth, Im looking for a way just to get a reference to it so i can just get called event, if it makes any sence

[Shunitzo]

Ok, I’m guessing Widget is created in one BP, but you need to get it in other BP?

[AmerMeh]

Yup, its in separate Widget where also code for it is, and im making “monitoring actor”, to manage that conditions.

[Shunitzo]

Well, all I can recommend is Get All Widgets of Class.

U mean like this?

[Shunitzo]

Do you have more then one of them? The widgets?

[AmerMeh]

Like 15(Subwidgetsm and they r connected to the radial menu), but i needed for this one because most of them were used and called somewhere in actor on other way so i was able to get it easy. But Ive found the mistake:

Just had to connect “Compleated” with “Bind Event”, so as it founds it can just go for an event. Instead

ForEach->Cast->Bind

ForEach->Cast Compleated->BindEvent

Um, that isn’t really a solution.
What it does is just gets last widget.
If it helps, sure. But beware, it can cause problems in the future.

[AmerMeh]

Ah ok, didnt rly knew that. I thought about comparing with == objects, so i can make variable refering to that widget and == with it and then cast to it, but idk if it makes sence?

[Shunitzo]

You need to Identify needed widget. Does it have some ID, like index, tag or name? That will tell you it’s 100% widget you need.
