Why is this widget not hiding?

I would still like to know if beginplay in the player controller is the best place to create the widgets on player spawn, or if there is a better way to do it.

i prefer the controller because widgets and controllers are local only and every widget is owned by a player so it just makes sense.

you could keep it on the pawn if you use IsLocallyControlled but if you destroyed the pawn (respawn mechanic) you lose/duplicate all your widgets

@Elryk1

This also makes me wonder: I am setting a camera reference in the BeginPlay event

this should be fine
