Passing Data Using the Blueprint Interface: Updated Method

Using new way of transferring data between blueprints using the Blueprint Interface. This method relies on Get Actor of Class and seems to work more reliably.

You just saved my life! I've spent the last 2 days trying to wrap my head around Blueprint Interfaces and I couldn't quite get the data to pass until I followed your method.

I maybe wrong but I believe you're still creating a hard reference to the target blueprint by using GetActorOfClass. Defeats the object of interfaces.

yeah "tunnel" is the best analogy for bp interface, I spent whole night trying to get my head around it, some "tutorial' got me deeply stuck and confused. but your analogy immediately helped me grasp the whole concept of interface.

Fantastic! Thank you so much. Couldn't figure out how to pass a 3d party actor with the previous method, but this works perfectly.

I followed your first tutorial and it almost worked. This one really did it! Thank you! Maybe add a Card and note to your other tutorial so people know there are a couple of methods. Thank you for the video!!!

bro that was soo helpful I cant express how great full I am to you I have been slamming my head against the wall for three days to work a code to pass a booleane from one bp to another. Thanks man you are an angel

[Gersendai]

I was wondering why it wasnt working. This helped out a lot! thanks!

I wasted 2 weeks of my life just looking for this kind of video! THANKS!!! ;D

Thank you for this! I found that with the interfaces stuff, you can also add in more inputs with the connector so you can take in more unique values at once and lessen the need to make more interfaces.

You're doing way more than you need to here. The Blueprint Interface, in this instance, is completely useless. You're grabbing the reference to NewBlueprint already with the Get Actor Of Class node. All you would need to do is drag off the Get Actor Of Class and Set the variable from New Blueprint. You are using Blueprint Interfaces wrong and its completely redundant here.

This looks like what I need, but I'm struggling to figure out how to make this works between widgets. I'm using UMG only

[Vanitas]

Thank you for this! I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a while, and getting nowhere.

[mrxcs]

How I make the other way around? I want to send a confirmation to the caller of the event, the returns true or false.

[nexusg]

You're making a hard reference, which is defeating the purpose of having the interface. You could just pass a variable without using an interface in this way, but these assets will always be loaded together, even if one isn't used.

Great video. Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Tony Hale?

I'm trying to make pickups check if a "grab" key is down/up. So the third person's key should just set a boolean. Then ANY pickup should be able to request that value..

The data does not pass through copying you exactly I don't understand.
