UMG quick start, can't acces "Cast to MyCharacter" from third person template

Hello

I started with network bombing tutorial, in wich everything works fine and I tryed to display stats on HUD by following UMG quick start. However I cannot acces the “CastTo MyCharacter” node, while doing it from the FPS template let me acces it, and I can’t figure out what I’m missing…
Any ideas ?
thanks
(little edit: the only difference I see is I didn’t include starter content, could it makes a difference ? I still have MyCharacter in the blueprint folder by default)

Hey Whag (:

no, the Starter Content shouldn’t be the error. So you can add the “Get Player Character” node but you can’t cast to it your character? Can you check if you selected “Context sensetive” at the upper right corner of the search window?

Just drag the Return Value of the “Get Player Character” Node into an empty space and look if this checkbox is marked or not. Either way, just try to turn it on/off and see if you can find the “CastToMyCharacter” node now.

Ehm, these are picture of your bugged project? And the 2 Character Classes that i can see in the first picture aren’t the one you need?

Are you sure you compiled your new CharacterBP and saved everything?

yes, I have acces to the get player character, and I did check and uncheck it. I retryed with a Third Person blank project and it works, I don’t know what I messed with my project but I can’t find it…here is a snapshot.
It isn’t that bad, but I don’t like when I don’t understand :slight_smile:

yep, these are from the bugged one, and nop :wink: I don’t think they are the ones I need (paper 2d obviously, and I don’t know about testing pawn, but my actual pawn is still the default “MyCharacter” blueprint and I can’t acces “Health” from the testing pawn so I guess he’s not the one)
I just blindly followed the network bombing tutorial to get where I am…

Had the same problem as you Whag in Version 4.6 but recomplied and saved the MyCharacter BP as eXi suggests and now all is well :wink:

Had the same problem and recompiling the MyCharacter BP worked for me too.
