I want to have a crosshair at the end of the line trace coming from my gun - not a crosshair in the centre of the screen. I cant for the life of me workout how to get draw the widget at the line trace hitpoint.

I can simply add ‘Spawn emitter at location’ and plug it in to the line trace out hit location and that does exactly what i’m looking for, only I dont want an emitter, I want the crosshair that I have designed which is available as both texture and a widget.

Super new, so would love and ELI5 version of the answer

use 3d widget component. Place it at line trace hit point.

3D widget does make sense, but will scale the crosshair depending on distance to the hit location, which may not be desirable.

With a regular widget you should be able to use something like this I think:

Not in screenspace, it will not. @TARS_Endurance Either use a component, or convert world location to screen space for a regular widget.

If it’s just a simple crosshair, you could instead use the HUD class. It can draw stuff on top of everything, and quite efficiently to boot.
