I’m fairly new to ue and have been wondering if there is a way to display someone’s gold on their hud?
Hi, yes that’s simple if you want to use the built-in UI for gold resource. Just enable it in HUD Controller Devices with the Show Gold Resource setting. Make sure you don’t have any island settings or other HUD settings hiding the UI.
Also there are two types of gold, the resource gold and the coin gold.
I can’t remember the details to properly explain, but it was confusing at the start, and goes something like this…
Resource gold is awarded via settings devices for eliminations, however Vending machines use coin gold, which is the item called GoldItemData from item lists and can be awarded via eliminations manager.

in creative there is only the latter though- if you use island/device settings to grant gold it gives the same gold resource as the item you’re talking about

hey thanks everyone. but what I had in mind was more of a custom display. like updating each player’s gold to a text label. is this possible?
Yes you can, the HUD Controller Device.
Rift9 gave you a link to creative, but it is used in this way in UEFN too.
Otherwise you can create a custom widget with Verse, but if your a beginner muck around with the HUD Controller Device first.
