my interactable actor has a widget component with a button, and when I click the button, I want my player to move to a location which is a scene component to the same actor.
but I can’t get a reference to the owning actor from the widget, or to the specific widget from the actor, or even cast to them.
(none of these work)
how could I do it?
I was trying the other way around, getting a reference to the widget from the actor blueprint, which wasn’t working either, but then what I did was on begin play to create the widget, save it as a reference, and then replace my widget in the widget component with this reference. It worked, but it’s kinda lame.
then I found out this node “get user widget object” which will return a reference to the widget in the widget component. I was using “get widget” which doesn’t work.
now I have a reference to the widget within the actor blueprint and I can cast an actor self reference into the widget and communicate between them. it works fine
cheers
Thank you so much for this, your blueprint logic is useful.
