How do I get the health variable from multiple different enemy classes?(blueprint)

I had the idea to have the health of the enemy you’re fighting to be displayed in the corner like in Sekiro, and I figured I could take it from the actor reference I already have for the lock on system.

Is there a node to pull variables by name or some kind of universal variable system I could add to do this?

you’d want an interface to return the health, or an actor component and use GetComponentByClass

That actually worked, thanks.

If you make those component with an event,

OnLockOn → Actor ->GetComponentByClass(YourComponent)->IsValid->AssingOnHealthUpdated

on your widget spawn. Can be also another neat method.

If you look above, you’ll see that the problem’s already been solved.

I couldn’t mark it as the answer because I forgot to make this a question topic.
