I think I have an idea on how to do it an easy way but I dont know how to actually do it. how would I make a widget that displays numbers that go up depending on how long u hold space (which would be drifting) and then when you let go, after a few seconds have it restart.

Hey User-8fd0522d09, You could check the. “Your First Hour with UMG” on the Unreal Learning website. I think this course will give you most of the answers.

It can be as simple as this: [Image from Gyazo]

And if you wanted to convert Time to Points, you could do this: [338961-screenshot-3.jpg] Here, every second the Space Bar is held down for is worth 20 points.

I tried doing what you sent but im having issues compiling. thank you for the fast reply by the way [338971-screenshot-2021-05-16-131004.png]

Look at what the target is for the node with the error - Player Controller. Get Player Controller and plug it in. The script I posted was already in the Player Controller (so Self was OK there) since it’s a great place to keep all the Input. Also do store a reference to the widget - right click on …

everything is compiling but its not showing up in game Do I have to add anything in the widget graph?

No, there is no other script. Do you even see the widget on the screen? You’re doing it in the Game Mode - does the loaded level use this Game Mode?

Besides that, Game Mode is not supposed to handle player input. I don’t even know whether it can. Input goes into the Player Controller or the Pawn. Consider doing it there, it’s the most natural / optimal place.

Its still not showing up i feel like i might have messed something up with the widget but its compiling now and i moved it all to my playerbp
