Action RPG Inventory System

I’m having an issue in my game with this inventory. I followed all the tutorials and implemented in my game. Everything works well until a player dies and respawns. I’m sure it has something to do with how my game respawns but I’m not sure. Currently you spawn in and the inventory works great. When I die and respawn everything is still in my inventory and I can still pick new stuff up but if I try to equip anything the doesn’t show up on my character. It works in the UI but the meshs are not showing up on my character. It was originally stopping my line trace for items too but I figured out on my respawn I had to set the character reference in my player controller to the newly spawned in player character. When a player in my game dies and new player character is spawned and possessed by the controller. Am I missing something here? Any help is much appreciated!!

Edit: Looks like I got it working.

Ok great, I’m happy you got it sorted :D.

For others with the same issue it sounds like you were re-initializing the entire inventory again on respawn causing it to wipe all the items but not refreshing the Inventory Icons on the client
(You can call Refresh Inventory Slots from the InventoryManagerComponent to clear the clients UI if your design needs to work this way)

For those that are merging the Action RPG Inventory System with our Multiplayer TopDown Kit (or something that spawns a new character model) here is an example of setting up the inventory up on initialize and then simply updating the Character reference (as on respawn it leaves your body on the ground and you spawn as a new character actor) on respawn and then refreshing the equipped models on the character model.

You would probably want to make a function that does the logic for setting the new character reference and the for loop of updating the equipped slots for cleanliness.
but in the example I left it this way as it’s not a lot of logic and helps you see what is going on.
