Health Lives/Potions

In this case, you kinda have several options. Here is the suggestion I can think of that is relatively simple:
You need to store somewhere the amount of Health Potions your character is currently carrying, so create a variable inside your character to store this value. Now, everytime your character picks up a health potion, you should first branch and check if he has full health. If the character has full health, add 1 to the number of potions stored, but before, check if the number of stored potions is less than 5. If positive, then add 1. For the effect of healing, you can quickly prototype by setting any key you want, and when pressed, first check if you have any potions stored. If positive, then subtract 1 from this value, and apply the effect (eg. Heal X health points).

For the little image of potion, you could work with UMG, creating the space under your health bar for the images. Then, you can set the number of visible images by retrieving the character’s number of health potions, and working a logic with it. I am not able to script it and print a screen for you to help right now, and also, explaining this HUD logic would become quite complex and long, so I suggest that you study some videos about UMG and its capabilities, and try to figure some starting point for this!

So I’ve been trying to do the basic blueprint, is the logic supposed to be like this? Am I missing anything?
