Hi everyone,
I’m working on a small gameplay mechanic in Unreal Engine 5 where I track the player’s score using an integer variable inside my Character Blueprint. Everything works perfectly when I print the value in the Event Graph — it updates every time the player collects an item.
However, when I try to display the same variable in my UI (using a Widget Blueprint bound to that variable), it doesn’t update during gameplay. It only shows the initial value from when the level started.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Made sure the variable is set to “Instance Editable” and “Expose on Spawn”
- Checked that I’m referencing the correct Character instance in the widget
- Used
Event Tickto update the widget, but the value still doesn’t change
I’m not sure if I’m missing a step in binding variables between Blueprints or if there’s a better way to handle this. Has anyone else run into a similar problem?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
