METHOD 1 - Function Binding (auto-updates every frame, easy but has perf cost): In Widget BP: select TextBlock → Details → Content → Text → click 'Bind' → Create Binding → connect your data (e.g. GetPlayerHealth as Text).

METHOD 2 - Event-driven (recommended, update only when needed): In owning actor: when data changes → CastTo<WBP_HUD>(HUDWidget) → call custom function 'UpdateHealth(NewHealth)' on widget. In Widget BP: UpdateHealth function → SetText(HealthText, Conv_FloatToString(NewHealth)).

KEY: Function bindings run every frame. For frequently-changing data (Tick-speed), use Event-driven approach instead to avoid perf issues.
