Widget Switching

[Everynone]

You need to override the widget’s key down, do not create a custom function for this:

There’s no need to call anything in construct.

I’m working on trying to set this up and I’m confused about what all variables you created and are using. I guess I’m not also following how you’re using your character to cycle through all of the abilities because I would assume you’d have to be using widgets for each ability. I guess you’re using one actor as the parent and the rest of your abilities are children of that parent. Is that what class you have selected in spawn actor? Also what about the spawn transform variable?

I’m really confused by this. I presented you with 2 methods. One that is using just widgets (since you asked for a switcher implementation), and one that is using actors (since I later learnt actors are used as abilities). Now I’m under the impression you’re mixing and matching both - which is fine but will add to complexity. Perhaps choose one and stick with it for now. You can always refactor later (famous last words).

all variables you created and are using

I created only one variable for this, the index which you’re already using. The rest of the nodes are widget functionality, here helping to correctly handle input from the player. But do ask if you have something specific in mind.

I would assume you’d have to be using widgets for each ability

Yes. In the first example, abilities are just widgets with no actors handling the logic. In the second one, you’d have an actors handle the logic and their corresponding widgets display results / state.
