I am currently having trouble trying to increment the size of my outline, in my player HUD, for when your health is less than 20%. Essentially it’s an outline that will continually expand and then once it reaches the number 3 in scale, it will then reset and do it over and over and over again, until your health is greater than 20%. However, UE4 doesn’t seem to have an effective way to increment scale and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or if I just overlooked something and was being stupid. Any help would be much appreciated! Below is my blueprint layout. Also I was contemplating doing a for loop, but not sure if it would work, since set render scale only sets the scale rather than increments:
You can just use a timeline. Make a float in timeline that starts from min scale to Max scale, let’s just say, in 1 sec. Keep the timeline to repeat until hp is over 20%.
The problem here is that I’d have to cast it to TimelineComponent, which I’m not entirely familiar with what the object reference for that would be. If you know, then I’d gladly use this method, since I actually had this in the back of my mind at one point, but didn’t think much of it.
