Building an Inventory System #5: Pickups - Unreal Engine 4

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ธ.ค. 2020
- So far we've been setting up our inventory to show and display what is added to it, but the act of acquiring that data doesn't look very pretty! Let's set up a flexible pickup blueprint that will lay the foundation for many of our future features; The Pickup

I hope you continue this kind of tutorials. I really learned a lot in short time. You made it so neat and modular. Thank you very much for this.
plz finish this system bro i need this so bad hahahaha
Thank you keep up the good vids man
I have followed practically every ue4 inventory tutorial on TH-cam. This one is by far the cleanest and most well thought out. I sincerely hope this series gets finished, with the very least being the drag/drop, and external storage like chests. Amazing work,friend.
You are the best Unreal Engine teacher I've seen in TH-cam And I've seen a lot.. You made something complicated simple. You broke it down to its fundamentals, I wish that you've created a series on making a game in its entirety, saving, quest, combat, at the end saying Cronza :"that's how you make a game", even though you didn't finish this tutorial because we haven't yet able to interact with the inventory, see the flavor text, dropping function. I am grateful for your teachings. I hope more people see your videos and have you continue making videos for us. I cant do much but comment and like the video, But sincerely thank you.
Absolutely one of the best inventory system tutorials out there, fantastic, thank you.
That was a journey... thanks, learned a lot and I'm still trying to figure out half of it (it works, but I'm not exactly sure how and why). The hardest part will now probably be to implement the tooltips widget (edit: nevermind about that, figured I'd rather do that in the slot widget than having to figure out how to put the information into another widget and then update that widgets visibility from the slot widget...), dragging & dropping.
Just finished the whole series, really amazing work, appreciate this so much!
Fantastic video series! I highly recommend this channel for anyone who has some experience with Unreal and wants help understanding more concepts.
Take my sub Sir!! This tutotorial was incredibly clean and optimized!
Best tutorial maker out there, please, please, continue with your work on teaching us to build our own games, simple, easy and straight to the point, THANK YOUUUUUU Edit: Subscribed! :D
Thanks these tutorials! Your videos are very helpfully!
Let me start by saying thank you for such a great series. I am a total noob to Unreal Engine and also game development. Your videos are really well made, there is no time wasted and the flow is easy to follow. I am already seeing all the underlying potential in the system you are creating.
I have managed to move the pickup input event(as an input action) to the character controller using an interface that sends a message on the overlap events. The object is then stacked(using add unique) in an array ready for pickup. If the overlap ends its then removed from the array. This also covers being picked up as the overlay end event triggers when the object gets destroyed. This way I can have a pile of pickups all together and then just spam pick them up in the order they overlapped.
I also changed the BP_pickup BeginPlay event to only update the weight of the item. I now update the NamePlate on the overlap event so that it can be brought in from input settings action mapping (so if the player rebinds the interact key they wont get the wrong prompt).
I managed to get to this tutorial with only a few minor hiccups which I was able to find where I went wrong. All items go into inventory correctly and remove no problems.
But there is one major thing I just can't figure out though. When ever I "Thanos the world" (change maps) and then Initialize the inventory again I see that the cached slots are present, but the information for them is all empty/none. Also if I bind a keypress event to loop through the inventory data, it always has the correct amount of slots but there is never any information in them.
Would there be any chance you would know why?
Ok I have now gone over everything again and the conclusion I am coming to is you haven't yet shown us an "save inventory" function that sets the information in the game instance InventoryData array as we only ever update the slot information object?
Would love to see some more of this! Thank you for the tutorials!
Maybe multiplayer support? Procedurally spawning these items? Moving items in inventory, using items etc.
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate such good explaining tutorials.
Nice! Please continue, to make with mouse drag drop, and to move in to action bar tools
he never did :(
Great content. Thank you !
Hey you have to put out some more content man love these good detailed tutorials. I'm making my first game and people like you are my educators lol.
Is there more to the series? I didn't see how to drop item from the inventory except during the testing phase. Also, what about adding opening and closing the inventory widget? Did I miss a whole video?
thank you for this awesome tutorial so far !
I would like to see this working for multiplayer Clients and additional inventory widgets for opening a chest or sth. like this.
I was thinking if you changed InventoryData to an array of inventories you could add a function to the game instance to return an inventory based on an object you're getting the inventory for and that would expand this to giving other objects inventories also. Love the tutorial so far man keep it up!
You going to be doing more videos? It’s really good.
Will you finish this tutorial series?
great video you should add a crafting set up for this inventory I already have a inventory setup can I use this like the pick up parts? thanks
Question - How do you make the slot items mouse draggable to other slots? I followed an older tutorial years ago similar to this, but this feature was broken in updated Unreal versions.
Bro... This is amazing. You're tutorials helped me a lot ! But what happened to the drag & drop?
Thank you for the tutorial, will it have a hotbar where could triger by the hotkeys?
is there a way to hide it and unhide?
Awesome Tutorials! Maybe an Equipped items Tutorial soon to go with this?
Also would like to see a item carry weight like if you go over your carry weight your walk speed is reduced. i can pretty much figure this out for nonstackable items but adding weight on stackables is a little tricky lol
Hi Cronza thank you for the great tutorial I love it! I have a smaller issue for some reason I cant get my UI to update and pass the info to the Inventory system everything else works perfectly.
Awesome! Please do drag and drop functionality + Drag off the inventory to drop on the floor and then be able to pick it up again. Also curious how can I add for example chests with their own inventory, while reusing the code? Is this possible or do i need to rewrite things a lot?
it's that much work to add drag + drop functionality or equipment.
For the drag an drop you can use the on click button to create a tooltip with the image of the item and have a reference to it. Then when you drop it, check if that's an empty slot or if the inventory type is a valid one, etc. and drop it / swap them.
Isnt Adding +1 before connecting to "Add Item" node Quantity at 9:30 Better than changing the core data at 1:22?
Hey Buddy, It's been a while since you uploaded. Hope you are doing well.
You ever continuing this?
Hey bud, I noticed you have been away until recently. Great to see you back ... before I get invested in following your tut, do you have more features planned for this inventory system?
I have noticed that below somebody has asked for crafting to go along with this that you "loved". Do you plan to do this?
How to handle different types of item? Like weapons and foods, they have different params.
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
can you please make a crafting tutorial?
I know you haven't posted in a while but I need a solution for a problem where if I open a different level I lose all the items in the inventory
Can you save the data in the inventory like if theres one apple there will be one apple there forever until you reset it
Thanks! Love the tutorial - Would the inventory work with multiple players?
Hey Salvadorio!
It won't work right out of the box, but with some adjustments, it would! It'll need some changes around referencing the player character, controller, and ultimately the game instance where that data is saved. However, if those can be adjusted so its per user, I don't see why this wouldn't work!
Hopefully someone can help me, i followed everything and added to pick up on collision. But it doesn't pick it up unless the inventory is opened on screen. If the widget is up it does work normal.
Error is accessed none for scan for item and scan for empty slots.
For me the picked up item does not show up in the inventory but destroys itself when I press E. Can anybody help me with my issue?
Hey Cronza, I would really appreciate it if you could make a tutorial on host migration because there's literally no one who has a tutorial covering it.
I am at 3:57, and I cant find "Widget Component" only "Widget" and "widget interaction". I tried widget interaction, but it doesnt have the user interface detail on the right side? any ideas???
Got me confused as well... use the "Widget" one.
Bro you got any courses i can sign up for????
Sir #6
got some time to answer some inventory > equipment questions?
Could you help me with a coding problem thats inventory / equipment related? I'd be willing to pay you if so.
