So I have a Widget Component on my enemies to display a health bar widget, which I made in blueprint. I can set the enemy's widget component to use the health bar widget manually via the editor, but I plan on creating multiple enemy types all using the same base EnemyTemplate code, so ideally it'd be something I set up there rather than manually set it on each child class.

So what I figured I'd do is find the health bart BP file using its text path, then cast what I find to a UWidgetBlueprint. And it works! They find the blueprint, and it even shows up as a variable in the editor.

FString HBarWidgetResource = "/Game/MyStuff/WBP_EnemyHealthBar.WBP_EnemyHealthBar"; //Finds BP
UWidgetBlueprint* GeneratedHealthBarBP = Cast<UWidgetBlueprint>(StaticLoadObject(UObject::StaticClass(), NULL, *HBarWidgetResource)); //Converts to WidgetBP
HudWidgetClass = GeneratedHealthBarBP; //Sets Editor var to what it found

Now the issue is just converting the result of my search, the HudWidgetClass, into something that I can then set my WidgetComponent class to. I figured it'd be just as easy as HealthWidgetComp->SetWidgetClass(HudWidgetClass->GetClass());, but when I compile it, the Widget Class stays blank. If I try casting it HealthWidgetComp->SetWidgetClass(Cast<TSubclassOf<UUserWidget>>(HudWidgetClass->GetClass())); I get an error saying I can't convert from a TSubClassOF<UserWidget> to a pointer of TSubClassOf<UserWidget>.

Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
