How to create an HUD in a multiplayer game?

The HUD class is created and contained in the PlayerController class as well. So as I said earlier, to keep everything clean and organized, I suggest that you should create and handle widgets inside your HUD blueprint. Just create one and assign it in the game mode.

That’s what I had done, my screen is my HUD (already setup in the project settings as the default HUD)

Do not hook the HUD up to the Pawn; hook the HUD up to the player controller. Make the HUD be a Widget Blueprint GUI.
A good place to find the player controller from your GUI blueprint would be in Event Begin Play.
Because widgets are always running on machines that have local player controllers, there is always a player controller owner for a widget, and you can get this controller, and cast it to the class of your specific player controller blueprint. Do that, and assign the result to some variable in the GUI blueprint.
Then, the GUI can read whatever it needs out of that variable, for example using data binding. Alternatively, the GUI can “install itself” into the player controller by setting a variable on the player controller, that the player controller will then use to send values to the GUI when they change. Either approach works.

You will need to add the GUI you create to the player viewport manually. See this page as an example:

The core “HUD” class is basically obsolete – EventDrawHUD is not how to build an on-screen GUI.

Well, I already did all of that. I might not explained myself correctly sorry, see the screens. I can create the widget on the HUD, show a variable/progress bar, my only problem is that I can’t get cast to the HUD.

So, after someone logged in I call his PC the respawn player function (from the GameMode that I created) 1*
I respawn a pawn there, and call the Create HUD function from my HUD (that I created too) See that if the cast fail, I print an error message 2*
In the HUD I got every function to create/remove the widget 3*
Inside my widget I check the value of the health (I made this into my PC, I know it’s bad but I wanted to try for this HUD (remember more than 1 month that I’m stuck on this)) 4*
And now when I spawn, you can see that the HUD work on the left player (the host) and don’t on the right player… 5*
