hidden widget

[qreyswft]

Hi I’m new on unreal engine, so how do I make my widget hidden on another widget? i don’t want the widget to be redundant

[Everynone]

Many ways:

• access it directly after setting a reference inside the widget
• use an Event Dispatcher
• access the actor that has the widget reference

If you need more direct help, do show how, where and when you created both widgets.

This my widget, i want the current mission widget hidden

this is the puzzle widget blueprint

while, this is the current mission widget… doesnt have anything yet

can u help me fix this? I’m new on ue so i really didnt understand that much. Hope u can help me explain with my pic

@Everynone

how, where and when you created both widgets.

We need to know how you do the above. Your script does not show it.

@qreyswft

This my widget, i want the current mission widget hidden

• where do you create the Jigsaw widget?
• where do you create the Mission widget?
• what needs to happen? we click a button in Jigsaw → hide Missions?

i don’t want the widget to be redundant

And what does it have to do with redundancy. Do you want to hide it or remove it? As these are two very different things.

sorry but i dont much understand, i created both widgets in different levels. I want the mission ui to be hidden in jigsaw widget once i enter the jigsaw level

@qreyswft

i created both widgets in different levels

How do you do it? Create Widget → Add to Viewport?

@qreyswft

I want the mission ui to be hidden in jigsaw widget once i enter the jigsaw level

We can’t help without knowing what you’re doing. You could try:

Just before you open the jigsaw level. But that’s pretty ham-fisted…

[qreyswft]

this is the blueprint for mission widget

this is blueprint for jigsaw widget

[Everynone]

This does not help in any way, it does not answer any questions. This is how you normally create widgets:

Where do you create your widgets and add them to the viewport - this is how you can make them talk to one another.

Also, did you try what was suggested above?

@qreyswft

oh i didn’t use any of construct none because the mission one is using trigger box and the jigsaw is game level. I built is as a level, not widget… so i just want to hide the mission one

How do your widgets end up in the game? What makes them show up on the screen?

[qreyswft]

this is my mission viewport, im sorry a bit confused. But the jigsaw one is by a game level, not as widget

[Everynone]

OK.

• the Mission widget is created and referenced inside the player.

---

But the jigsaw one is by a game level, not as widget

Could you explain what this means? Because the jigsaw is very much a widget:

How do you make it appear?

[qreyswft]

yes, but i dont have the viewport inside the player like the mission one. I built it change gamemode

[Everynone]

@qreyswft

I built it change gamemode

You do show it somehow, right? How? In the Game Mode? How do you make the Jigsaw widget appear?

---

And let me ask again - did you try what I suggested above?

[qreyswft]

I’m sorry I just found it here. I already try your way but it doesn’t happened the way i wanted

[Everynone]

Coming back to my very first question:

• the Mission widget is created and referenced inside the player
• the Puzzle Level Blueprint creates the Jigsaw widget

---

Could you explain what is supposed to happen now? Use bullet points please.

• game starts in the non-Jigsaw level → player spawns → player creates the Missions widget
• we choose a mission → we load the Jigsaw level
• the Jigsaw level creates and shows the Jigsaw widget

Correct so far? What happens next?

You want to hide the Missions widget when the Jigsaw widget appears?

[qreyswft]

yes i want to hide the mission widget.

actually, I have two game levels: a farming level with a mission widget in it and another one is jigsaw level. I added a trigger in the farming level to enter the jigsaw level. However, the mission widget from the farming level also appears in the jigsaw level. How can I make the mission widget hidden in the jigsaw level?

[Everynone]

Your original question is not correct. This is the right question to ask:

How can I make the mission widget hidden in the jigsaw level?

What triggers this script?

Begin Play? if so: every time the player spawns in the new level, they create a brand new widget. Could you confirm?

[qreyswft]

the create mission widget is connected with event beginplay. It not create a new widget but the mission widget appears on my jigsaw level

[Everynone]

It not create a new widget but the mission widget appears on my jigsaw level

How do you know this? If the player character spawns, it will create a widget on Begin Play. It does not matter which level it is. Unless you have script / another character / game mode that prevents that - but you never mentioned it.

@Everynone

access the actor that has the widget reference

Not great, not terrible. 3.6/5 as solutions go.
