For the vertical bars you could shift texture coordinates of a material bound to a widget’s image.

Have a look at this crude example:

• I used this image:

• In this material:

• Hooked up to a widget’s image:

• Widget’s graph constructs a dynamic material instance and binds it as a brush:

The widget’s Tick will modify *vPosOffset *variable and push it to the material’s parameter; the up/down direction is controlled through neg/pos ClimbSpeed var.

End result (it’s smooth in game):

The blue arrow could be hooked up to a map ranged ClimbSpeed and shifted about in the canvas.

The text, hm, not sure if that’s the best idea but you could have 3 text blocks and map range shift them in the canvas in a similar fashion. You could let them slide off the canvas and ‘disappear’ only to snap them back to the very top/bottom.

Sorry to bother you again Everynone
I have replicated everything in your example widget BP but just cant get the altimeter MID node to the set brush to material node like you have .
What is the Altimeter MID?
Everything I Tried after dynamic material instance to get to the set brush node, does not want to connect .
What did I miss?
Thanks
