Step 2

In your custom PlayerCharacter, add the component “InteractionComponent”.

Step 3

Next, on Event Possessed, create a custom event with Replication OnOwningClient and Reliable. Input should be a pin of a Controller type. Hook this up to your event possessed. After the custom event, cast to your PlayerController and call the function CreateHUD and use the output as the interaction HUD reference, and call the setup node from the Interaction Component we added earlier.
