So I am trying to display a progress bar over a “building” to display the amount of residents living in it and I can not get the progress bar to update using the widget component. It only updates when I add it to my display port.

as u can see the one displayed at the top of the screen is updated correctly and the one over the object using the same progress bar and blueprints is not. I’ll post the pictures of the rest of my blueprint.
I am assuming in the picture above I need to do something to make it update like I did for the one displaying on the viewport but I am unsure how to go about this. Please and thank you for the help hope I have enough information to go off of for you guys.

Many ways to do it. Updating the widget component’s widget from the actor that owns it:
actor accesses its widget component’s 2d widget and sets pertinent values
This is an order of magnitude more efficient than the function binding (your other thread) which would execute every frame instead. Consider the approach - it gets updated when needed rather than 60 times per second.
How are u changing the percent like that? I got it to work but am unsure how to manipulate the percent like u are with what i am assuming is a key press?
