Hi! I have a setup where one BP sets a bool, and the other BP looks at the first to see if a bool variable is true. Problem is, my second BP can’t see the status of the first’s variable! What’s going on here? ![14160-1.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/5/6/c560c6278fb1b5f881571703040a9c99a4061318.png) ![14181-2.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/e/6/3e66e049b2180322d23e478f068037779115737a.png) ---

How do you populate “Player Pawn” variable? or you calling to empty variable, which is common newbie error Btw you can use “Get Player Pawn” (if player controller possess it) to get you actor (you will need to cast after that to access to bool). Also isn’t more efficient to call some function to ObjectiveWall in some way instead of checking bool on every frame? ---

As i described in anwser, you can get player controller possessed pawn with Get Player Pawn node, i can even see this node in favorites tab on your screen. And again you will need to cast it to your PlayerPawn to set it to your varable ---

Maybe I’m missing something but it looks like it still can’t read the property after the cast for some reason? Isn’t the cast looking at the variable as the PlayerPawn? ![14211-capture.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/2/f/62fddd2d1d69c5f1b285b600d51e775c62ad6edd.png) ---

Well if you look at the first image the PlayerPawn BP is setting the variable. But maybe I misunderstand what cast does? I’ll watch your video though thanks. ---

But I am setting the variable lol. The PlayerPawn is setting the variable, and I need the Painting BP to read the variable set by the PlayerPawn. ![14213-1.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/a/6/9/a693e9e668947b5260398acbbdb82803f322912f.png) ![14214-2.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/7/c/97cb341e1db87bad311bf69614767a9e9a5c5376.png) Thanks for putting up with me.

Haha, no problem I should have made that clearer. And yes, the Blueprint works otherwise and the Pawn is being possessed by PlayerController. The only problem is that the second BP is failing to read the variable set by the first BP, even though it is referenced. ---

i know you already got it working but i wanted to say this to you anyway casting is getting into a class blueprint to see is variable and lunch custom event but because if class blueprint you need to specify wich one to do it so if you have only one object of this do this take get all actors from class change wich class then connect get to it and then use the node get default scene root connect to it get owner and this the the object part of a cast node this will cast to the first oldest actor of a blueprint (to change it change the 0 in get)
