GetUserWidgetObject() Returns null

Hello Everyone,

I have been working on a game and run into the problem of GetUserWidgetObject() returns null. I use a widget component for interaction that then displays a widget. When I set the widget class it is always null. I have tried setting it with casts but it appears that it doesnt think that the Interactionwidget I use exsists. Below is the function that fails.

if (UInteractionWidget* InteractionWidget = Cast<UInteractionWidget>(GetUserWidgetObject()))
	{
		InteractionWidget->UpdateInteractionWidget(this);
	}

I tried fixing it with

Widget = Cast<UInteractionWidget>(Widget);
	Cast<UWidgetComponent>(Widget)->InitWidget();
	
	if (UInteractionWidget* InteractionWidget = Cast<UInteractionWidget>(GetUserWidgetObject()))
	{
		InteractionWidget->UpdateInteractionWidget(this);
	}

But that doesnt seem to work. Here are the files for interaction widget.
InteractionWidget.cpp (393 Bytes)
InteractionWidget.h (695 Bytes)

Thank you in advance.
