Remove widget from widget component (3d widget)

I want to clear a Widget Component (basically a 3D widget). But I don’t know how to do it.

I tried using “set widget” without connecting anything to the “widget” pin. But it doesn’t do anything. Also I tried to get User Widget Object and remove it “from parent”. But still the widget exists.

I don’t want to destroy the WidgetComponent, just to remove it’s user widget.

Thank you.

Feed the component null reference:

It doesn’t work.

Ah, you’re the one who keeps downvoting people who try to help you.


You can’t change the widget class run-time afair, but you should be able to replace the widget object. Essentially, create a helper widget with no elements and set it as the component’s widget. As in the above image but with something valid instead.

While I’m surprised the null reference does not work, I’m not shocked and I could swear it used to. Anyhow, replacing the widget object should work, 99% sure; even though it’s sort of a hack-around.

If I say in my question that something does not work and someone answers to try exactly what I said that does not work. That’s not “try to help”.


If there is no way to remove it, your solution of the empty widget could work (uggly, but work). Thank you.

I simply did not read your question carefully enough. Won’t happen again, rest assured.
