Host/Join Multiplayer

Now i want to try to take this further and i have been working on it since my last post but i need some help. I want some way for this system to detect if the ip typed is hosting a game or not. Will i be able to do this with Booleans. For example, I type in a ip that is not hosting a game and a message pops up telling me so. I have most of this setup but i cannot figure out how to cast between widgets. I tried putting a bool in the “host” button event and having it set to true that changes a branch in the join blueprint to allow to play to join. But that doesn’t seem to work. How can i make the bool change from False to True when a game is being hosted on that ip?.

Does anyone know if there is a way to cast through widgets.?

I still have not been able to find a way to cast from one Widget to another does anyone know how to.?

What do you mean? You want to get informations out of one widget in another? Try to put them both in one widget and then do “get parent widget” “get child widget”

I know this a little late… but, I set up my HUD blueprint to create all of my widgets and set a public variable of each widget object. This way, whenever I wanted a reference to any of my widgets I could get the reference from myHUD. I’m not really sure why you would want to cast one widget to another, as opposed to referencing the widget you already have.
