Hey @devin_gaming
You could use

  • SceneCapture2D and a WidgetComponent
    Or
  • SceneCapture2D and a duplicate of your HUD where everything is wrapped in a RetainerBox

What do you want to achieve? Maybe there is another solution.

how do I duplicate the Hud

4

You can duplicate it in the content browser. Right click, duplicate. Maybe a child blueprint does also work.

I want the player umg or widget as a texture

6

Yes, I know. Which version of Unreal are you using?

7

4.26

8

One example with a material and a widget in front of it
One example with a material where the widget gets rendered into the material

RetainerBox did not work as I expected.

ok it is using 3d widgets on the player that the camera cant see. the 3d widget has a node to get as a render target texture that is combined at runtime.

10

Correct. Does this work for you?

yes
