(SOLVED) HUD Progress Bar - Decrease value over time when buff is active

[anonymous_user_83b13d1e1 (anonymous_user_83b13d1e)]

Hey all,

So I have a ‘Buff’ that takes place when a player picks up an item, which only lasts for a few seconds.

I am trying to simply track the delay as a progress bar indicating a shields remaining time once a player has picked it up.

I probably thought quite incorrectly that once the delay was called it would track the delay counting as a value and I could grab that value to feed into the lower progress bar (blue).

Thanks for any assistance on this!

Will leave ‘a’ solution here for people!

Its probably not ideal or best, but I wanted to avoid Event Tick like the plague and I found a way
(not a finished solution but you can see the principle being used!)

Using a subtraction to take a value away per cycle of the failed delay until it reaches a desired value (in my case when it hits or is, less than zero) which then fires true for it to finish off the rest of my event chain.

Bonus is I can now call the shield delays current value and feed that into the progress bar. Winner!
