Adding coins to UEFN

Development Getting Started & Setup

I’m trying to make a monster game where you get coins if you kill a monster. I created a coin and set it to a score of 1. I dropped the coin on the map and was able to pick it up and it showed a +1 on the HUD. My coin count in the game didn’t increase and it still shows zero. I also added a vending machine that costs 1 coin and it says I can’t afford anything.

Also, I setup a creature spawner and made them drop a coin when I killed them. Eliminate Creatures → Coin → On Collected. When I kill them it doesn’t drop a coin.

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks

Heya, yeah I came across this, it seems there are two types of currency, gold and coins, they look similar but aren’t the same. One is standard currency for vending machines, the other is a collectable resource.

Use an Elimination Manager and add to the item list a GoldItemData this is the gold granting coin. Use this method for other devices like the item spawner to drop gold giving coins.
