Pattern: EventBeginPlay → CreateWidget(OwningPlayer=GetPlayerController, WidgetType=WBP_MyWidget) → SetVariable(HUDWidget=ReturnValue) → CastTo<WBP_MyWidget>(HUDWidget) → Cast Succeeded → AddToViewport(ZOrder=0). Always store widget reference in a variable. CreateWidget inputs: 'OwningPlayer' (PlayerController) and 'WidgetType' (class). Exec in='execute', exec out='then'.
