Giving an Object a Identifiaction?

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello,

I’m working on a Possitionsmarker BP to Show a Possition of an Object (in a widget)
For a Single Object that works fine. I set the Possition and Read it in my widget BP.
But as a total beginner, i am a bit stuck. I want to place different Objects into my Scene. Like

3 Apples and 2 bananas

The Apples have a Green Marker in my Widget and the Bananas have Yellow Markers (just an example)

So in my Possitions Widgets there should be 3 Green and two yellow Markers.

I am aware that i have to give each of the objects a identification, so that my MarkerWidget can read out each individual possition.

Can someone show me how to do this?

This is what i have done so far:

This is the HUD BP for my Widget:

This is the Object BP to provide the Possition:

object1
object11614×588 119 KB

And this is how i read the Position of the object

readposition

Do you mean like a tag? there is a tag you can set for actors to help identify them.

uhm yes. something like that. where can i find it?

EDIT: found it and tagged. but how do i now identify it as such in my blueprint (last image)

4

you can use “get all actors with tag”

Edit: oh I think I know what you mean now, use “get tag” in the event tick and then check which tag/tags the object have.

yes. exactly. each object (actor) has its possition. and to read out WHO has WHAT possition i need to identify them, so i can use this as a possition marker inside a compass. to have one object giving a possition is relatively easy to read out but if you have more of those you need to separate each’s object possition by identifying them.

so i tought a TAG would help. :slightly_smiling_face:
