Hello, how to use this system with 3D widget? It’s for VR game. Thank you.

There a few ways of handling this depending on what you want, the easiest way is to create a function and call it when the NPC dies and just loop its inventory and spawn a container actor like a backpack or something and move the NPCs items to that, another way is to set the NPC to usable when it dies but this can create problems because of its collision if your playing a death anim.

Hi
Since I am not using this same system (WoW style drop) and rather trying to implement one similar to MU online (npc dies, drops an item to the ground), theres no need to implement it. Actually @Pirate even wrote a mini guide on how to achieve it.

What I mean is, since all items are child of World_Actor bp, I should be able to access them if I put them in a variable. Try this:

1. Open a mob you have
2. Add a variable and just make it a World_Actor class reference
3. IF you add an actor to it, you can only see 4 of all the items (some swords and the shield)
4. When that mob dies (on the function) just put a Spawn Actor of Class and the variable.

It will work fine and spawn fine. If you then open one of the items that are not shown (example, Riffle, Dagger) and compile/save, it will show up on the list of the variable you created. However, the moment you spawn it, it will crash.

That’s why I was wondering if there is any difference on the child of the World_actor (especifically between the Sword/Shield and the Armors)

PS: also see the image, the actors with the shown image (not the catbox) are spawned just fine. Others wont appear and if I compile/save it will show the image but crash on spawn (the whole ue editor)

maybe this could be the issue but couldnt tell

I got it fixed, seemed like the Static Mesh or something on each of those “catbox” blueprints were set to NULL (weird? seems from the conversion to 1.14). However, I set that again and works as expected. I always wondered why those were showing as catboxes

Hey, how do I check if I have 1.7 update?
I haven’t seen the orange exclamation and the ‘Update’ option on the launcher for ARPGIS so I don’t think I am on the 1.7 version…but I could be wrong?

[anonymous_user_e12a1674]

If I have somehow offended, then I apologize! I did not mean it! Just your first product, which had similar problems! I apologize to you for their sharpness, and I was wrong. Return means not see the point. Because I have a lot has changed and altered it in your system. Do not get me wrong, please.

[anonymous_user_e12a1674]

in Unreal Editor all good. But after build app, UI don’t visible.

Do you have a wespon_actor and do the tooltips appear at the cursor/item or down in the ssme place in the bottom right.

No Weapon_Actor, and the tooltips are still at the bottom right.
I actually looked at your 1.7 update post and there’s a bit where you tell us how to make the tooltips appear on the object so I assumed even in the new version we’d have to do it manually? I guess not.
I tried doing it manually anyway, and there were issues which I now can see will be due to me still being on on the 1.6 version.

So next question, why do I not have the 1.7 version?

There is a bug with unreal and sometimes when the Editor crashes it can reset child blueprint values to the default values. So it looks like they all got set to the default NULL value in your case.

Not sure, sometimes the launcher caching is buggy. I would click on the ARPGIS in your vault and delete it so that the launcher has to redownload it. the 1.7 update is also only available for 4.13+ so if you don’t have 4.13 or 4.14 installed maybe it won’t let you download it?

The manual steps are only for people who already merged into a project where it would be too much work for them to remerge.
So I provide the steps so they can make the updates themselves.

So the option is ‘Remove Local Content’?
Will that cause any issues? I don’t know if it will have lots of broken references etc when I do that and will I have to manually fix things up? If it works fine and I get the 1.7 version, will any edits I’ve done to any of the scripts be lost? I had to follow your tutorials to get it integrated into my project (4.14) in the first place and I wouldn’t want to have to do any of that again!

I think you misunderstand. The update would be in new projects you create from the ARPGIS downloaded content.
It won’t update the code inside your own projects automatically if there is an update. It will only update the Local Content for the launcher for the asset. Sometimes you need to remove the Local Content and re-download it to get updates from Epic because the launcher is buggy. If you create a new project with the ARPGIS you should see the updated version.

That’s why you would need to follow the steps to make the changes you want if you had merged a previous version.

The changes are quite simplistic and the steps are fully outlined so you shouldn’t need to re-merge at all. But you will still have to do a little work yourself then.

Ah I see. So I’ll remove local content and re-get it to get the 1.7 version, then I can follow all your steps to get the latest changes working.
Okay, that’s cool.
Just listen out for my cries of help when I inevitably **** things up

You can also cross reference the change log with a new project you create that already has the changes implemented.
That should help you if the screenshots aren’t enough to show you want to do in your own project where you already merged the previous version.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I created a radio button for the crafting panel, and I connected it to the datatable so that the items automatically generated in the widget. In the same way, Crafting Informations come from the Data Table and Crafting progress starts when i press the button.

How can I access the total amount value of item (example apple) that are scattered in different slots in the inventory?

I have removed the old version from the vault, and got the new one and can see that it has the 1.7 changes.
I opened up my project and obviously nothing has changed, as expected.
So now I’ll have to go through your changelist and copy the new versions of the files over to my own project, right?
I feel like I’m gonna miss some change somewhere doing it this manually. Am I missing something or is this just how it has to be?

Thx, and sorry for the basic questions. I just wanna make sure I’m doing it right!
For the record, I haven’t made many changes to the default scripts anyway. I’ve just added a few new items etc.

EDIT:
For instance, here’s a snippet from your changelog:

So the bits where you say the file you’ve edited, and then the stuff you’ve changed/removed from it. Will I have to go into that and delete/change those too? It seems I will if I’m doing it manually? I could of course just wholesale migrate it all again but I’d have to go through all the Merge stuff again and spend a couple of hours doing it which I don’t fancy.
I’m probably making more of this than I need to (and I’m not complaining by the way) but as I said I want to make sure I’m not wasting more time than I need to and do it without errors due to manually editing lots of files etc

When you hover over the child widget do you see a REINST?

Hello OverRated, thanks for posting this screenshot, because i initially thought this REINST issue would show as an error, not in form of a sneaky hovering tooltip message. Yes i have this issue in my equipment widget, besides not touching that widget at all.

What version of the inventory are you using? and have you added any logic into the inventory slot widget?

I use 1.7 based on a merged version with the TopDownKit. While i was figuring out how to best replace slot backgrounds, i’ve altered the background brush. Other than that, and manual 1.7 upgrade instructions, there were no edits/additions to that widget.

It is unclear how to resolve the issue, i already tried to remove all my additions (buttons and functions), from inventory. Currently going through the inventory slot, trying to spot some differences.

By far one of the most confusing errors so far.

In your inventory slot widget have you changed the tooltip to pull the static variables from the data table?
