I am making a game and wanted to put a Security Camera in the game but was thinking about the time they sometimes have in one of the corners. to I thought to my self asking how could I get the computer time and put it on the clock. so I don’t have to put in a bunch of nodes making a clock system for a widget. any help would be appreciated.

~Thanks in advance!

There is a node, Now, that returns the current time and date. Then you just have to format it. For example, the following Blueprint:

Produces the following display:

Which updates in real time.

I just tried that and It didn’t work. When I had it pined to the Return value in a Text block no text was displayed.
