Text interaction when clicking on an object (top down template)

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

I’m a character modeller at university but very new to unreal. Using the top down template we’d like the character to interact with an object (Press E) and it generate text at the bottom of the screen (character monologue) but not have the asset disappear afterwards. This isnt an item to be collected, just inspected.

I followed this video online and replaced the actor with the topdown, but still it doesnt work.

Sorry to ask such a basic question!

  • is this supposed to be triggered by proximity
  • perhaps the character needs to be facing a specific direction (of the interactable object)?
  • what happens after the inspection:
    – the text goes away?
    – what terminates the inspection - closing the widget? moving away? not facing the object anymore? Is this even needed?
