How to Convert a Widget's Local Position to Viewport Position in Unreal Engine 5

Something like this?

Crash Bandicoot collecting animation

I’ve created a small project to demonstrate one of the ways this could be handled: [Image from Gyazo] Project link (v4.25): the player has a widget that represents their interface that interface widget has an additional (animation) canvas that we can shift elements in when the player collects an item, we create a widget that represents that item and add it to the above-mentioned canvas the player interface interpolates the location of the item widgets between starting location and another…

Note this is using a canvas, you can place GOLD AMOUNT anywhere you wish and anchor it. The coins would fly there without needing to do any math since they all live in the very same container. This is as agnostic as it gets, even if the GOLD AMOUNT moves around during gameplay.

Assuming the coins are 2d widgets, it’d more tricky if we wanted world space stuff fly to screen location.
