Hello guys,
I’m wondering if there is an option to show a widget for a limited time (without the DELAY node!)
So for example when I go into a triggerbox the widget shows up, but should be removed within a certain time (for example 10 seconds).
Hope you know a way to do this without the delay node.
Thanks!
There are several ways you can do it. One being you can make it show and make an animation that will last 10 seconds of the widget showing and after the 10 seconds, the widget can slowly fade away via animation. After the animation stops, you can unparent the widget. Done
=)
Why didn’t you want to use a delay node though? Just curious. Hope this helps you out!
- Use a timeline in the WBP(widget blueprint) or in the trigger BP
- Create a variable (float) that counts up every tick to a desired amount then tells the widget to go away
- Create an animation in the WBP like warhulk1745 suggested
- Have the trigger BP send your WBP the event to show the widget, then have a delay (Or re-triggerable delay) to then hide the widget.
As far as Im aware these 4 options are about everything you can do to achieve what you are looking for.
I am also curious as to why you wouldnt want to use a delay node.
