- Inventory systems are an integral part of experiences that thrive off of content. From weapons and armor, to resources and consumables, they provide a plethora of gameplay options.
In this video, we'll be covering building the interface for a typical MMO-style inventory system, including the Panel, Slot, Drag Item, and Tooltip widgets.

Man I did the entire tutorial and I just wanna thank you for your time and efforts to bring us this
Recently found your videos, and it's been great! I am glad to see that you are still around. Awesome Quality, great diction and content. Keep it up!
You may find that newer versions of the engine will crash when preforming the cut and paste task at 10:30.
The way we got around the issue was by right clicking on the slot button element and from the dropdown hover over the "replace with" item and then clicking replace with child under the submenu options. This accomplishes the same step as cutting and pasting but in a way that's less likely to crash the engine.
thanks, very helpful
I was 10 min. stuck on this part
Thanks for advise!
Glad I read the comments before watching the vid
This was great! I hope you keep doing it because most other TH-camrs that I have watched give up, it's so frustrating.
Just came across your stuff. Keep it up. The quality is incredibly high for a UE 4 based educational channel.
Thank you! Well explained, easy to follow, even for an absolute beginner like myself! Video is headache free and truly educational, not "just do this because i did". Very happy with the amount of information in this system and the ease of use. You're a life saver dude!
Liked, gained a subscriber, and I will be following up on this series in following days until my inventory is complete!
Hoping this covers crafting, and a backpack's inventory as well as I aim to have limited inventory on my charcter and expandable inventory with a backpack.
Wow, this guy sure is good at explaining things in a clear and detailed way. I almost feel like he'd be excellent at teaching a group of 7 guys the ins and outs of the Unreal Engine. Hmmmm 🤔
Yes, he does 😂
You're a legend my friend!
Great video. 2 suggestions: Slow down, just a bit. An additional second or two between each step would help people following along immensely. Secondly, It would have been nice to have seen a demonstration of the Inventory system you're going to teach us to create before we start - I feel a lot of tutorials don't show you the end product to begin with, and this would certainly help anyone using it make sure that this is the system that's right for their application, before finding out half-way through, or having to find the final video in the series to try and determine the outcome.
I would like to say:
1. Don't slow down, I can always adjust the speed of the video and I usually make it go faster but not on this video, it's fine as is. I would rather have a 14 minute video than a 30 min vid that shows the exact same. The length of a video really affects me mentally.
2. I agree showing us the inventory system in its final form would be nice BUT you already showed WoW inventory and the breakdown of what it is that you are going to make, so that doesn't need to be improved on either. (The breakdown really hit the spot)
10 / 10 video!
Like most tutorials, it's easier to follow along watching at .75 speed and pausing after each step.
I normally play videos at 1.25 or 1.5 speeds because most lag or talk slow.
Here, I play at 0.75. =D
Thank you so much! This was so helpful!
Great Content Keep up the good work. I subscribed just now to give you more motivation! We need more tutorials!
Quick tip to anyone starting this tutorial series. As of October 2021, it is unfinished and the last video was 10 months ago. Keep that in mind.
I love you Garrett your videos are dope
Holy crap... where have you been all my life
Thank you for this video
It’s helpful. Just don’t forget to compile.
any reason my x wont sit in the text box its sticking half way out the bottom right corner of the inventory slot
Probably fixed by now but incase future people have issue, changed the font size down to fit in the area not sure if that’s the intended fix but worked with mine
10:44 Warning UE4 May Crash :) Well mine is, right click on button item and replace with child is correct way :)
bruh im not going to lie but I wish I was doing the inventory with your teaching because Im trying to make a horror game and have a dope inventory like yours so I have to make some changes lol good job men 10/10
Thanks!
please show us how to save and load the inventory.
For your next video could you make it so teaching how to add bags into your system almost like wow id love to have it so players have 4 slots that can only hold the bags and those bags are the inventory
Hey. This is great. Are you going to teach how to combine inventory items? I mean, if you have a stone and a stick and you combine, you have a weapon? i have been looking for this a lot of time, but nobody teach this. Also i want to use an inventory object with and object in the scenario just by dragging.
The editor crashes when ever you remove the button and paste in the "information Scaler" for the dragged item widget
Same problem with me
@@nocommentary3850 i found a fix, dont duplicate the widget. Just create a new one and paste in the items you need. It works and bypassed the crash!
Oh. Thanks it works!
10:47 "whoolah" And the Unreal Engine crashed.
had the same issue, I belive you can just right click the "button" at the top and replace with child actor.
My isssue solved but thanks 😁😙.
Haha same! I had to copy and paste components one by one with wg_itemslots open in another tab. Rather than ctrl-x to cut, and pasting after deleting the first button. Too much information to move around at once for some machines i guess haha
@@harrypleague Thank you for this. I was having the same issue, but it seems you helped me fix it.
Can you do a version for co-op/multiplayer? I'm assuming you have to store the inventory database on a separate server and have the the game pull data from there into the interface.
Hey LDT7Y! Im not the most familiar with building / designing for multiplayer, so I couldn't honestly say I could provide a "good" guide on the topic. Maybe in the future with enough study!
You are correct that the biggest points to work out is where that data lives. A lot of calls throughout for this series reference player 0, so in a multiplayer setup, you'd want to ensure its referencing the correct player.
Well done. Much better than most, but could you please slow down just a bit. Having to pause and switch screens after nearly every sentence is rough.
Thank you for bringing this up! Speed of speech is something I've been trying to work on, so I appreciate any and all callouts for it
i would have prefered doing it together instead of just copying your code.
Thanks for good ui information but I will do everything else in c++
hi! I recently discovered your tutorials and they're very helpful! But I might have an issue with the WG_Inventory widget...I've done everything as explained but when I ad a slot under the "Slot Panel" the slot becomes really tiny and it places in the upper left corner of the "Wrap box"... Any suggestions?
Hey Vlada! Sorry to hear you ran into some issues.
There might be a few things causing this issue. Could you verify if, when you created the slot, that you enabled 'Width Override' in the 'InformationScalar' component? It sounds like your slots don't have an assigned size, so they're shrinking
@@Cronza It might have bugged, cause the "Width Override" was active, so I just switched off and on and now it works... weird... but thanks a lot! And I'm sorry if I had to call you 2-3 months later
@@vladaslittleparadise4402 Sorry necro but for anyone having this problem, this is the solution. It might have to do with creating everything at once and not saving/compiling after making each widget
My unreal engine kept crashing after we had to do the dragged thing when I clicked Ctrl x then ctrl v it kept crashing and deleting everything I had done even when I saved it 2 seconds before It has happened 2-3 times already
It's kinda confusing it did it the widgets and just tell us how to do it but great I will try to understand
I have a solution to a problem anyone might have where when you try to cut and paste things the engine crashes, instead of cutting and pasting replace the parent with the child by right clicking, and selecting the replace with child button.
That whole part of Ctrl X + V makes UE4 crash. Just a heads up to future users.
How do you fix it?
if you're just watching this please go find another tutorial, this was poorly done and the questions just grow with each video with only comments answering some of them, so if yours isnt included you're out of luck unless you can figure it out yourself.
Dude just kinda does a copy me thing then explains a little bit about that function, but then skips over many things without explanation.
Not only does it become difficult just to set it up, but actually learn whats going on.
