Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial - Online Multiplayer Part 10: Remote Unit Frames

In this series we will be explaining how to add online multiplayer to your games. First we are going to explain how it works, then we will go into creating lobbies etc.
In Part 10 we explain and show how to add health bars above other players' heads that replicate their health values across the game.

I had to center vertical align the Progress Bar in order for it to come through as the 'desired' and not a 500x500 square

[@DragonFang253D]

So I keep getting a "accessed none when trying to read property" for the health percent. Ive done print strings to check and the cast at begin play IS working, I dont know what the issue could be.

[@DragonFang253D]

It only seems to happen when im trying to multicast the healthbar from an AI enemy, but not when the players healthbar is multicasted.

[@wilsman77]

Did you solve this?

[@drumandbassob0007]

try deleting get user widget object at beginplay and re-add it to the cast to player minor, this worked for me and i figured its just some small ue5 bug

[@Derknomicon]

Currently trying this method out on UE 5.0.3 and for some reason I keep getting "accessed none trying to read property As Player Unit Frame" (As Player Unit Frame is my Unit Frame widget variable) when I play my project in Selected Viewport or New Editor Window, I looked into the games logs after running it as Standalone and found the same error in there. But when I'm running the project and play testing everything looks to be running fine. I'm not sure if it's because I have this widget setup on my parent character and it's being inherited by my children characters or if this is potentially a UE5 bug?

[@Derknomicon]

I think I found a solution, I no longer have the error messages. In order to fix this issue, if it is actually fixed, all I had to do was convert my Get As Player Unit Frame into a validated Get. Basically at 3:56 in the video after you drag in the Unit Frame variable right click on it and at the bottom of the pop up of options just click on Convert to Validated Get. Make sure to plug the Call Update Hud node into the newly validated Get and just follow the rest of the tutorial video. Hope this helps someone down the road.
