How to display boss health bar widget in the bottom of the screen instead of standard widget above AIs head.
I will use BP_ExampleAI as a boss in this tutorial.


1. Create new widget WB_BossStatBars.
Add to its CanvasPanel, name it WB_HealthBar and position like in image below or according to your preferences.

Leave ExtendedStatType to None, because AI is not using it, only Player

2. Open BP_ExampleAI and override InitializeStatsWidget (right click on event graph -> type EventInitializeStatsWidget).

3. Override events (also in BP_ExampleAI) ShowStatsWidget and HideStatsWidget (right click on event graph -> type EventShowStatsWidget/EventHideStatsWidget)
