How to properly comunicate from UMG to PlayerCharacter?

[B8A]

Hi, hope someone can help me…

Lets say that I have a menu screen and I want that in a press of a button my character do something like jump or other thing.

I have been trying to make this work with event dispatchers but i can’t, just happens between UMG and Character, other BPs works great…so i dont know what im doing wrong, or maybe it just can’t do that conmunication?

Thanks in advance…

Art.

Hey Art,

Have you tried creating a PlayerCharacter reference on construct and then casting it into a variable?

Here is the code of how I usually do it:

This is in the UMG Widget Event graph, it gets the player controller and then the controlled pawn(your character), then it casts it to YourCharacterClass(Mine is called PlayerCameraPawn) and then saves it in a variable of YourCharacterClass Reference type.

Hope this helps
