Hi all.

I have run into a problem while following the documentation https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/UMG/QuickStart/2/index.html

I want to display numbers on the screen that subtract and add when the player pushes certain buttons. When I follow the steps in the documentation, the numbers turn to zero when the world starts and I get errors in the message log.

I achieved something like this in 4.7 but in 4.9 I can’t get it to work.

When i was working on Widgets had the same problem.
Reasons are

  1. character is null. (you have no reference or you destroyed him)
  2. result is null.
    check if you are setting characters reference to widget and
    check if you are getting this text after destruction of your character.

I followed the documentation, creating a variable within the widget and made it a third person Character referance. maybe I did something wrong there? I’m not destroying my character, so his reference might be wrong.

here’s an image of my widget binding.

Okay, sorry for the inconvenience. I was able to solve the issue. I missed the step in the documentation where I needed to add a cast to character in the event construct. My character reference was indeed null.
