I’m new to blueprints, and coding in general but I feel like I’m finally making progress. I’ve searched the forums but I can’t find anything specifically answering my problem. I’m having some trouble with inheritance and setting up my weapon blueprint. What I want to do is have a base weapon class that can then have different types of weapons, rifles, knives, etc. Inside the base rifle class I would have an array of rifles. The problem is the only way I know how to call an event from a child object is through casting. I want the base weapon blueprint to not care what child it has, but still be able to fire, and have the child decide the behavior. I thought about using enums like what’s in the picture, but I don’t know how to accomplish something like that. I’m open to suggestions. The top part of the picture is the player event graph, the bottom is the base weapon.
Question: The idea is the base weapon should be able to fire, then the children of base weapon set the behavior. What method of communication through blueprints should I use to accomplish this.
