Hi.

I want to move picture inside widget without using Animation Timeline.
I want to move it only using blueprints to randomly selected coordinates.
The image should move from place A to place B smoothly. How can I do it?

you can use some combination of these nodes:

Finterp if running from tick

lerp if you run from a timer or timeline (timeline might not be available in widget)

for the target you probably just need to get the viewport size to know what max bounds are and then get random floats within that range.

Thanks! This helped, but what if I want to do same, but with linear movement?

If you want linear movement, you should use Lerp. FInterpTo will “Interpolate float from Current to Target. Scaled by distance to Target, so it has a strong start speed and ease out”. Lerp is literally a Linear interpolation. You’ll want to have a float for Time that you update each frame. Add DeltaTime to it each update, then pass Time / MaxTime as the Alpha for the Lerp (where MaxTime is the full time you want the animation to take, in seconds)
