Variable GetText not working

[Suuri_Johtaja]

Hi! So Im having a problem whit trying to get my variable seen on screen. There is a picture of my blueprint. Can someone explain why it is not working. In my actor blueprint I have print string for that variable and it seems to work correctly. In that widget blueprint there is allso a button and it spawns on screen when I play in editor so that is working. But the text wont display at all.

If someone could help me I would appreciate it a lot. If you guys need more information just ask.

Sorry for bad englis!

What’s the purpose of the Get Parent Actor node here? Is the player spawned by a component? If not or you’re unsure, don’t use it.

If your 1 is a Pawn that you’re currently using, you can cast as is.

Can someone explain why it is not working.

Almost certain the cast is failing because parent actor of the Pawn is not of 1 type.

Thank you for your answer! in this project 1 is a actor that I want to count points when ever the player hits this 1 actor. I have never actually understanded what I should use as a object when Im casting to something. Every single node I tryied to use as a object gave me some kind of error. Can you tell me what exact node I should use in this kind of situation? Im sorry im starter and I have bad english skills. Due this I did not understand well what where you trying to say… sorry
