Add a UMG button, select On Click or On Touch and use that to feed into your blueprint to do ‘fire’ or whatever you wanted.

Have you hooked your button up to the blueprint with On Click?

You have a perfect solution in the link in the 2nd post:

What’s up with that spammy bumping?

You cannot have Action Mapping in UMG, widgets handle input very differently. There are ways around it but it’s more involved. Essentially, use the button to trigger a function elsewhere. Or…

Alternatively:

Have the button trigger your Fire function instead of Jump, ofc. So it would be something along the lines of:

Now, both the Action Mapping and the Widget button’s onClick execute the same function.

Thanks for the response I let you know if it works

beaster2 · October 17, 2021, 9:16am

what is the variable type. Sorry for the spammy bumping Scott.

beaster2 · October 17, 2021, 9:22am

never mind figured out the variable type

beaster2 · October 17, 2021, 9:25am

what node is the “inputactionfire”?

It’s an Input Action you create youself in the project settings.

You sure you wouldn’t rather follow some tuts first as this is one the very first things you’d normally learn? I can imagine it could alleviate frustration and actually speed things up.

Interestingly enough, the first screenshot you posted shows just that…

Please help ASAP.

Lots of spam bumps and then 3 months wait to respond. It sure is a sign of persistence, though!
