PlayAnimation on widget — play UMG widget animation

Widget Blueprint

A UMG (Unreal Motion Graphics) UI Blueprint. Holds the visual hierarchy + the logic graph for menus, HUDs, and panels.

Button

A clickable UMG widget. Hook OnClicked in the Graph to handle the press.

Image

Displays a Texture2D or Material in UMG. Set Brush.Tint to colorize.

Text Block

Displays read-only text in UMG. Use a Binding or Text variable to update at runtime.

Texture2D

A 2D image asset used by Materials (color, normal, roughness maps) or UMG Images.

UMG widget property binding references a removed function

Why: A widget's Text/Visibility/etc was bound to a function that no longer exists in your Widget Blueprint. Fix: Open the Widget Blueprint. Select '{widget}' in the hierarchy. In Details panel, find the broken binding (red exclamation mark next to a property). Click the bind dropdown → pick a current function, or unbind + use a direct value.
