Any project you get from the marketplace it totally accessible to you, there is no ‘variable locking’. Maybe this variable you’re looking for just is not in the BP? Also have you tried searching all BPs?: ![294386-screenshot-2019-12-24-at-101156.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/b/a/7babea4662bf675c09ab85725e11decde0caeaf4.png) ( Binoculars on right hand side… ) ---

Ok, if the variable lives in the character BP, it wont be in the savegame BP 🙂 You have to put a health float in the save game yourself. And when you save the game, copy the value from the charater to the save game… Have you seen this?: [![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/5/6/2565d63070f1f1cbb9fe7f1ff872cce4af952f13.jpeg "HTF do I?

The easiest place to save the health from is inside the character BP. You can save it from other places, but then you will need a reference to the player. ---
