So I have created a simple inventory on my default character class, I have a few functions one of them casts a raytrace line if it hits certain objects it will store them into my inventory now as soon as the raytrace hits a item I have a sound play that works fine but I want to call a widget to add a visual notification that the player has hit the object no I can easily cast a widget and remove it but I found out you cant use a delay in a function, so I need some way of knowing that something was added to my inventory so i can display the widget then wait 3 seconds then remove it all from my event graph.
Does anyone know a way to do this i’m not to good at understanding the variables but I suppose you would do it through that some how.
Ah, I see. Move your BindEventToRayTrace execution to something like your begin play execution path but still hook the red line up to the ray trace event. that should fix it.
Think of binding like calling set on a normal variable. You are telling the event dispatcher what method to call when it fires. If you put it where you have it then it never gets assigned because the ray trace event never gets called because you never assigned it to the dispatcher, chicken and egg problem.
I’m taking liberties with the explanation but that’s the general notion.
if you still have issues with it shoot me an email at and we can get on teamspeak or something and I can walk you through it. This is really easy once you understand the concepts.
