Off the Return Value of the Create HUD_C Widget, select Promote to Variable and name HUD Reference. Select the Event Begin Play node and drag it to the left to make room for the new nodes we will be creating in the next steps.ĭrag off the Event Begin play then add a Create Widget node with Class set to your HUD Widget Blueprint.

This variable will represent the player character's Health that we will display on the HUD.Ĭreate another Float variable called Energy with a Default Value of 1.0. In the Details panel for the new variable, name it Health, change it to a Float variable type and set the Default Value to 1.0. In the My Blueprint window, click the Add Variable Button. This is the playable character's Blueprint in which we will create some information to pass to our HUD Widget Blueprint for display.
