Rollerball Video #22 - Finishing the HUD and Using the Game Instance to Hold Variables
In this video I will finish showing you how to create a player HUD using Widgets and Canvas in Unreal Engine 5. We will add the counting function to the HUD and setup a Game Instance that will hold the variable for the total number of pickups we have collected. Using this method, the number of pickups will not be reset every time the player advances to the next level.
