User Interface Reset after Destroy Actor Probelm

[silk wind]

Please Need Help!
This is the wall I keep hitting and need to figure out how to reset the User Interface after destroying and respawning the player character! Getting very frustrated. Any ideas are welcome, besides starting from scratch. What have others tried in the past to get these two seperate systems to function together? I even went and asked ChatGPT and it said: " Check Widget Binding:
Confirm that the widget is bound to the correct variable that holds the player's health value. If the widget isn’t refreshing after respawn, double-check the binding to ensure it's correctly connected to the player character's health variable." I Checked this and it is indeed connected to player health, but won;t reset when character is respawned? I added pictures of the blueprints and a screenshot of the problem.

Delete all that garbage and start from scratch. Most of the popular ue tutorial makers are shit and don't show proper techniques. The way they setup stuff with hard reference casting and getting actors of class is not realistic for making an actual game. They just make quick half assed stuff and call it a day. They should not be as popular as they are. Enough of the rant tho.
Check out this guy instead. He has way better tutorials with good explanations. I'm not saying his perfect but miles better for sure.

Also by following tutorials you need to actually understand what is going on and why is something being done like it is. You won't be able to make something on your own if you don't. There aren't tutorials for everything.

Hope this helps

I bought the blueprints book coming wensday. Hopefully it has some explanations. I have leanred through failing 10 times now about the hard refernces everywhere. That is where everything goes wrong, all the evil messages start filling up the screen after hitting escapr. Guess, its time to go to attempt 11. Going to need to get another backup hard drive for all the failed UE5 projects.

I am not going to start from scratch but rather delete the health and damage system and respawn system.

Yes that's what i meant. Don't get discouraged. I have been tinkering for over 2 years in various parts of UE and only now starting to feel more comfortable. It's hard to learn if the people that teach don't do it right themselves. Best of luck to you.

The documentation on the website is basically useless as well. I went to read through it and tried their respawn tutorial, it doesn't work either, and is also littered with hard cast everywhere.
