**Node Example:**

UMG Button Pressed, _FingerID + Pressed=True_ stored.

(InGame, Cutscene happens,) so _Disable Input_ used.

During this time that “input is ignored”, player releases UMG Button.

(Ingame, Cutscene is over)_Enable input_ used, player attempts too use button, but cannot.

```
Button still retains the original ID + Value, even if new presses are sent.

```

* * *

**Two button modes exist:**

Pressed up and down:

```
Method above.

```

Precise click:

```
ID is not saved. BUT, moving finger 1 Pixel resets button(very annoying too the player) Will retain Value "pressed=True"(if player releases input, while, "input is ignored"), which can be refreshed by simply clicking button, because no ID is stored.

```

* * *

**How can this problem be resolved:**

- Me: I may not know of a setting, or node that refreshes buttons

- Epic: Add a line of C++ code too “Enable Input” _node_ stating “?Widget Input Check?”

- Epic: Change the precise click, too work within the image size, or widget defined size.

- Epic: Add node _Widget Input Check_, which can be added too _Enable input_
