You can simply add an timer with an interval of 1 second. In the Timer event you increase your timer count by one and set the progress of your progress bar to TimerCount/5 (5 is the duration of your timer). When you want the increase smoothly, simply add an lerp between the new value and the old value to the event tick event of your umg blueprint.
Could you explain the variables and what you set them too? I want to display the timer moving up and after the 5 sec a player receives reward and the timer resets again.
“Duration” is the duration of your timer (in your example 5s, so set the value to 5.0). “New Count”, “Current Count” and “Time” are only helper variables for the smooth animation. If you don’t need the smoothing, you can easily delete all the stuff in the EventTick and the variables “Time” and “CurrentCount”. To fire the event after the timer finishes, you can add any blueprint nodes you need right after the “False” branch of the TimerTick-Event (right behind the “Clear and Invalidate Timer by Handle”-Node). I hope I could help you!
The only problem is, that you can’t use timelines in UMG blueprints because they don’t inherit from UObject. So you have to update the progress bar from an other blueprint (like GameMode or something like that)
