so ive attempted to make a basic player status system with a health, energy, and mood bar. when my player jumps i want them to lose some energy. i have attached an image of the setup i have for my jump action. i have the health bar set up and it should all be working but i’m not sure where i’m going…

What exactly doesn’t work as expected?

it dosent take any energy off the bar in the game.

How did you do your visuals then?

this is the event construction for my player status do i need to add anything to this? [47468-player+status.jpg]

Yes the function you used to bind the energy to your energy bar. Since it’s always 0 it means it’s not hooked up properly and doesn’t receive the value.

so what would you suggest i do, if i change the value to 1 would this fix this.

Please show me how you did it because right now I suspect you have no working connection between your player and umg meaning it’s impossible right now to display your energy on screen because your screen can’t see the variable energy.

is this what you need to see? this puts my player status on the screen. [47506-event+begin+play.png]

The interesting part is the script of the umg graph itself where you bind a variable.

oh sorry im new to UE4, the only other thing i have is this. [47508-binding.png]

How do i make my character lose energy when they jump?
