I made a main menu widget where clicking on the widget will cause the player to move. I want to play a wake up animation when the widget is clicked however. How will I be able to do that?

Alright, so you can do it in different ways, but I chose to do it dirty.

  • Need to get a reference to that character in someway
  • I did it via GetAllActorsClass
  • This isn’t the most performant way, so however you need to, get that reference properly
