Casting to ThirdPersonCharacter help?

I attached a photo of blueprints of getting a progress bar increasing when I pickup items (I used box collisions). But How I learned to do it is like this but whenever I cast to third person character and try to add on the “As Third Person Character” node the pickups (named tickets and max tickets), the Target is self and won’t let me connect them. Is there any way for me to connect them? Thank you!

those variables were created inside the ThirdPersonCharacter?

if yes, delete them and drag again from the thirdpersoncharacter cast node.

Don´t forget to compile to update the cast

It appears that you’ve created those variables inside the Widget blueprint and not the ThirdPersonCharacter.

If not, they would come up when you drag a cable out of “As Third Person Character”.

Didn’t even notice that was the problem! This helped so much! Thank you for the help!

there is no cast to third person character
