Overview:
Hi everyone! Im currently working on a special inventory system, that can be easily setup and customized by tweaking some variables. It uses UMG. Im planning to submit it on market and set the price to zero
Very easy to setup. You just need to call one function in order to make the inventory system work! Easy to customize. You donāt have to understand Blueprint system, but still able to make the inventory you want and with any style. Grid and Scroll menu types. You can even set the grid to be scrolled Page Navigation. You can set, how many pages will use your inventory. Filtering & Sorting. Supports Name search, Type filtering and some types of sorting. You can combine as well(Ex. I want to show only Weapons with āheavyā in their names, and sort them by value. I can!!). Details Panel. Inventory supports two types of Details panels, where you can show the item stats - Small(Shows, when hover over slot) and Big(Always shows when inventory is open) RMB Menu. You can press the Right mouse button on inv. slot, the small panel will appears, where you can drop items(Drop All & Drop Count, if slot have more than one item), use then and equip. Fast menu. Place important items right on the screen and use it by pressing 1-0 buttons. Limits. You can limit items by weight or by slot count. You can also combine this.
Multi filtering and sorting (You can combine filter and one sort type)
Details Panel
Mini Details panel(On Mouse Over slot)
Page Navigation
RMB Menu
Drag & Drop
ItemLimit by weight and by slots
Fast Menu (Minecraft again :/)
Use and Equip system(Interface Events)

Wow. I was looking for bits and pieces of information on how to create such an Inventory System in UE4 a couple of days ago and BAM, this shows up. It looks awesome and 15 - 20 USD is a highly reasonable price range.
Going to track this topic
EDIT:
Non-native speaker, in a hurry and being derpyā¦with āhighly reasonableā I actually meant:
I would pay 20 USD right away, after it appears on the Marketplace. Keep up the good work, AlFlakky
Im not the best in design, but i wanted to make something very quick. The style setup took about 5 minutes, without messing with the code at all.
By the wayā¦ Yesterday I changed the way user can setup the inventory. Now its very easy, you just have to call macro function, wich enables the inventory, and then all you have to do, is edit UMG widget. Place inventory elements where you want them on the screen, press Play button and thatās it, Inventory will work from that moment.
Finished: Fast Menu. Player can now use Drag&Drop to place items into fast menu buttons Weight Limit. Added weight information to items. Now when you try to take an item, it checks, if u have full, or almost full inventory.
Yesterday i finished Use system, so devs can easily add functionality to their items. If item is useable, player can Press RMB on inventory slot to show the menu and use the item. He also can place item to Fast menu and press the number on his keyboard to use.
I also add ability to make your own item blueprints with unique logic and Use function. You must create BP based on ItemBP and then just setup Inventory info in Details panel. I will post the video soon, so you can see the result of my work.
The main functionality is done, so Inventory is almost finished. All I have to do is comment my BPs and fix some stuff. I hope you guys will support me before and after I submit it on market!!
And I also wait to someone post something, because I want to see your opinions guys
Still tracking the topic and I bet, that there are more, who are ātrackingā it as well. Still canāt wait for it and so far there are enough Assets already being released (except this one), so that I could go haywire on prototyping
And wow, this inventory system looks amazing. Iām drooling more and more
Have you submitted it to Trello to get the votes for the Marketplace?
EDIT:
Just watched the YT Videoā¦Iām seriously drooling right now and I am like ā****!ā. I mean, it looks feature rich and easy to set up. Amazing work!
Yes, Iāve submitted it, but Epic have to check it before it goes to Trello boards. Iām looking forward to get their reply and when I do, Iāll post it here.
Iād honestly charge more after implementing that. Not sure if youāve dealt with replication yet but itās a huge headache.
Personally Iād suggest making it so everyone who buys your single player version gets the update for free but any new buyers pay a higher price. Just my 2 cents though.
But to be honest, the hardest part of the inventory was UI. Drag&Drops, Sortings and filters e.t.c. Iāve spend a lot of time doing this. I ve even remake whole UI couple times because of UE bugs and overall optimizations. But inventory itself(Items, place/take funcs) are the easiest part of this. Its like 10% from whole code, so only 10%(took me couple days to make ) have to work with network stuff.
Soā¦ Iām pretty sure that repl. will take some time, but not as much as UI(do not remind me )
I found for my own system that the UI and drag and drop were super easy actually. I always enjoy talking to other people who have made inventory systems though. Itās really interesting seeing where other people get caught up and what they found easy. I think the hardest part for me is just being happy with it. I keep starting it over from scratch reworking my functions to be super efficient and adding small little features.
question for you, I am currently using the MMo starter kit with calls to a SQL DB on the remote host would this be difficult to add into my already existing MMO scripting?
