If I have a health bar at a certain length and I down the line want to add upgrades to increase the total size of the health bar…How I can do that? I cannot seem to find a “set size X” in the graph
You need to get your user widget as a slot, then modify the slot values. The simplest way to do this would be to have it as a canvas slot (in a canvas on the HUD). I mocked up a quick example for your edification. In the first image you will notice my widget only has two elements, a canvas parented to a progress bar, the bar is intentionally rather short.
Next I get the type of slot that the progress bar actually is, as it is a slot on a canvas, and modified that slot’s size value.
The result is a significantly longer progress bar.
Hope this helps with an awesome project!

I voted up your answer. A lot of work in your answer.
The only thing I would add is that you need a parent that has size for the slots: Canvas (your example), SizeBox.
If you have the HP bar in a vertical box for example, size cannot be affected directly as the vertical box doesn’t have a size per se
This totally worked - thank you so much
Maybe accept Spiris’s answer then. He did put a lot of effort into it
We all tried to have knowledge on increasing the size of progress engine. That all happen to help the advancedwriters and question review followers. So, everyone will come to have knowledge on every real blog.
