Hold 'E' To Interact | Time Dependant Progress Bar - Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial 

If anyone is having an issue with the widget not disappearing then do this: in your item BP add a "Do Once" between "Enable input" and "Create Widget" Then create a custom event and plug it in to the reset of the "Do Once". Trigger the custom event at the end of the code after the "Gate" and in-between the set "Is Held" and the "Close" on the Gate.

I swear every time I need something Matt already have it done

This is amazing man thank you so much for this tutorial 😭

Love your tutorials!

Dude, I love your tutorials, keep it up, like actually

Nice job!

Fantastic !

Hey! Quick problem around 12:00, when I try to call TimeHeld from the WidgetRef, it doesn't show up in the search. Adding it without "Context Sensitive" selected make it say it's not compatible. Any ideas on how I could fix this?

Matt, thanks for the tutorial. You always seem to save the day. I have an issue where the remove from parent doesn't seem to be working. I can walk away and the hud is still active. I'll look at it again later when I have time. I'm on a later version but that shouldn't make any difference.

Hi matt ive tried adding this to a character blueprint class as a pickpocket system on the back of an ai instead of an actor class and this doesnt seem to work, i was wondering if you have any idea why this is?

How would this work with replication? (as this setup won't work and will show the interact widget on both server and client)

If you're using UE5, be sure to add the Canvas Panel first

This is exactly what I was looking for to code a progress bar for my game, but a question: is there a way to implement non-standard progress bar movements to go with custom UI elements? For example, I want to add a circular progress bar that advances in a clockwise rotation, similar to the lockpicking interaction in Payday 2.

Hey Matt, great tutorial, any assistance with the following would be greatly appreciated! Upon filling up the bar I dont want it to fill again untill you release and press E again, at the moment they can continually hold E and fill the bar but it doesnt always fire off the "destroy actor" section or in my case spawning another actor. Either fix to stop untill you press E again or a fix to keep spawning items when bar keeps filling up

Hi @Matt Aspland, first I just wanted to say thank you so much for your tutorials, you are really helping the dream of creating my own survival horror game, a reality. I know this is super late, but my progress bar does not fill, everything else works perfectly. The bar comes up on screen, but the visual of the bar filling up isn't working. Any help or suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you again for you awesome tutorials Matt.

AWESOME : D

hey i want it that when u let go of the button and start again it will start from where u left of i managed to make it destroy the object but the ui always restarts help will be much appreciated

Amazing

Cool bro 😌👍

Thanks 😊

Hey Matt this worked really well except that after I pick the item up the progress bar and the text doesn't disappear? Even after I have moved out of the box's region. Thoughts? On further examination, it has something to do with how close I am to the item. It works fine if I am farther away from it.

Hey @Matt Aspland i have an issue 12:00 if i try to put widget ref to target self on set timeheld variable it says it is not compatible? Edit:I Fixed it the issue was widget ref was on User widget blueprint and it needts to be on hold widget

Nice video

nice

Hello Matt! First, thanks for this awesome tutorial. While it should work out of the box, I try to use it for a little different case and ran into a big problem. In detail, I just want to have the progress bar on my title screen (similar to games like Cyberpunk with the "Hold a button to start" and the progress bar fills up before any menu gets called. Problem in short: The progress bar won't update. My setup: - I actually have the progress bar inside a Widget BP that gets called with a Blueprint Interface at begin play inside a main menu controller (player controller) - The whole function like seen in your video is build inside this player controller Working result: - The hold function itself works and in the end I can make the hold button widget destroy and call my character selection screen Big Problem: - The Bar is not updating. I am searching on tutorials, solutions..event dispatcher things and whatever for a week now and can't make it to work. I tried it inside the level blueprint, player controller, some blueprint actor. Whatever I do, the progress bar is not filling up. I added a lot of print strings to test and when holding a button, the "Max Time Held" fills up from 0 to 1 in a second (float) so at least its doing "something". Do you have a clue why the UI does not update the progress bar or would you love to create some little tutorial on how to actually setup systems that don't need any in-level additions or actors but actually just work between the players input and the UI alone? All tutorials I found were either about stamina and health bars or pickup systems that need actors or in-game interactions but none of them tackled things like that. Cheers and sorry for the long text. Toby

Is it possible to make it so it appears in the world and not sticks to the screen

Do you mind if you can just do: On-screen text when near a character. So when I come up to a character it will say Press Enter To Switch. You click enter then you switch and it takes one second like you did for your first one in 14:45. Without the bar, just the text Can you pls do that?

Hey Matt, this is amazing, exactly what I've been looking for fundamentally, I noticed @HoneyHive's comment and I can't say that I've played Day' Gone, so my request may be similar, but is there a way of making the progress bar a square shape or a circle, with the "E" key in the middle and having the progress bar gradually fill itself up clockwise around the key?

great tut thank you so much but there's a bug when you are holding E and go away from the collision the event still going on edit: for people having the same bug you have to set IsHeld? variable to false after removing the widget for parent

for some reason if i press it it just keep holding but is held is being set to false i dont know why :/

Welldone man, can this also be implemented as a "Press A Repeatedly" mechanic?

Hey! Good tutorial, but I was wondering how could You make progress bar fill smoothly, if You know what I mean. I'd love to see tutorial for that!

Why MaxTimeHeld? Isnt it JUST TimeHeld

How to make inventory system in unreal engine 4 Two objects Please

I'm having an issue where the timer seemingly doesn't stop after I activate the hold mechanic (the action is a mesh that moves back and forth every time I hold E) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PMaurpsYprU.html Help?

bro, could you show how to make a destination point appear on the screen at a specific location (as in cyberpunk for example)
