Really need help -- Widget animation refuses to play

Hi guys. I’m having an issue with this widget animation that’s in my “Drag race RPM meter” widget which is nested in my HUD widget.

The play animation node in the rpm meter widget gets execution. But the animation doesn’t play. Nor does the node after it receive execution.

Ive tried using a self reference in the rarget pin, using a do once node before and after the branch, making a new animation, etc and nothing works.

Funny thing is the animation was working. I made some changes that would not affect this animation (as the play animation node receives execution, as previously stated), and then it stopped working.

Ive tried everything and asked everyone i know and nobody knows whats happening.

As is kind of common, you guys are my last hope. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance to any and all help
