In Part 10.2 of my Unreal Engine 5.1 Endless Runner series, I add a power-up timer progress bar to the HUD so you can clearly see how much time is left before the Magnet deactivates. I start by creating a float variable called “Magnet Timer” in BP_RunnerGameMode, then I wire it into BP_PowerUp_Magnet right after I activate the magnet. The key idea is simple: whatever your magnet duration is, I set the timer to that value + 1 second, so the countdown logic stays clean and predictable. Next, I build a custom “For Loop With Delay” using a Blueprint Macro Library, because the default For Loop doesn’t support ticking down over time. Inside the magnet blueprint, I run that loop once per second, decrement the Magnet Timer, clamp it using Max Float so it never goes negative, and print the value to confirm it’s working. Finally, I create a Progress Bar in Gameplay_UI and bind its Percent to a function (Get_Magnet_Percent) that reads the timer from the GameMode and divides it by the correct value (I use 5 when my timer starts at 6). I also fix the progress bar getting stuck by increasing the magnet deactivation delay by 0.2, and I hide/show the bar using Event Tick + Is Magnet Active so it only appears when the magnet is actually running.
