Could I request a tutorial on re-skinning (I think this is what its referred to) the skeletal meshes to another skeleton structure like Mixamo?

There is a huge lack of tutorials on the subject, closet thing I could find was this tutorial, but it’s a tad bit outdated and I can’t follow along with it :\

I can’t really give you a tutorial but i can tell you how i made it. Go to UE4 and export the Skeletal Mesh you want to reskin. Go to your 3D Software (i use Blender). Import the Skeletal Mesh. Now you should have the Mesh and the Skeleton or at least part of the Skeleton in your 3D Program. Select your Mesh and look for Vertex Groups, you should see at least one bone there. Now you have to look for the weights the Mesh has on these Bones. Import your own Skeleton (Mixamo) and be sure the Bone Names are matching the UE4 Skeleton. And then assign the Mesh to your imported Skeleton and copy the weights.

I know for a Beginner this could be a bit confusing. Heres one Blender Tutorial where i learned the Basics of Weight Paints and Skinning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI0bujHVMPM

I think I’ve found a bug in InventoryManagerComponent::LoadInventory. The description states: “Client: Creates The Players Inventory UI (Or Rebuilds If Already Loaded)”. However I’ve noticed that if you make a call to this function (say bind it to a key to call it) then the character’s inventory panel will never work again. It will blank out all items in inventory (equipped items are fine) and you will never be able to drag anyting else into the inventory. It just disapears.

This is odd because looking at the code it looks perfectly fine. Clear grid panel children and then add new ones. I’m wondering if there is something else going on.

As stated above in #801 I need to switch possession from different chars and see their inventories. I was hoping that calling the LoadInventory each time I switch would update the UI with correct number of inventory slots, but it seems to kill the functionality. If I am doing this wrong please advise. I’m experienced with BP but just getting used to the inventory system.

Can’t help with the Bug, but i think if you have different Chars/Classes you have to get each one a different Inventory Component, like WarriorInventoryComponent, MageInventoryComponent and so on. But maybe you got this already^^
