How to find which object to cast to?

[anonymous_user_4c38c8d4]

Hi, im trying to make a Hud which displays the score. The score is calculated when one of the falling objects (the game) hits the floor created in the level. I am then trying to display the score in the hud but am being unsuccessful. This is the code so far.

This next one is the above photo zoomed in ty for anyhelp:)

You HUD needs a reference to Cube_Blueprint, where are you adding the widget to the viewport? And where is the Cube_Blueprint in the beginning of the game?

You won’t actually need the cast at all if it is a reference to the actor. I’m not sure how you’re doing this, but say for example your Cube_Blueprint exists in the map, and you adding your HUD to the viewport on BeginPlay in your level blueprint, you could do the below:

• Add a new variable to your HUD, of type Cube_Blueprint Reference, make it editable and exposed on spawn by clicking these checkboxes:

• In your level you have Cube_Blueprint, and you are adding the widget to the viewport in the level blueprint:

• Then back in your HUD widget in your GetText function, you can do this without a cast:

This might not apply specifically to you, but basically, you need a reference to you cube_blueprint in order to get the score from it. And there’s a lot of different ways of doing this. But if you can avoid using GetAllActorsOfClass, or casts, in your GetText function, that is ideal.
