Hey there Thankstipscom, really good constructive feedback. Documentation is a on going process, but i’m certainly not happy with it as of now, there is still much to be done! I’m going to take your words on board 100% and make a text tutorial for setting up JcInventory on a pawn, after that i will study how it goes. I have avoided too much text documentation as the i feel blueprint is a visual scripting language and the video suits it better, but i am willing to try all things to help the community.
I have finished implementing **JcInventory **into the Survival game C++ example, i just need to make a nice video explaining how to do it. From there i will go back and do another pass on the basics, as i agree with the above. This will be the last tutorial of this kind for awhile. It will cover most of the above in a fashion.
I also wanted to take the time now to help you with the backpack system (even though that’s not the core point of your post, im sure it will help!), ***TAGS ***have been moved into attributes inside item data. It functions the same way as the video other then that. I release how frustrating these little things are when the documentation is out of date! The reason for this way that attributes contain all persistent data for the item, so it made sense to move ***Tags ***within it.
As for hotkeys to equip the rifle, have a look at the code in the** Quick Bar Slot **widget, as it does exactly that! It uses a function called Find Items in Inventory that also returns the index of the location in the players inventory. Quick tip, Try to avoid using Find Items in Inventory By Class on tick as it could get expensive.
I will keep working on documentation, because at the end of the day, its good for users because you get immediate clear information, and its good for me because i can move on to making improvements! But until then if anyone has any questions about the above functions or any headaches do feel free to post on this forum or PM if that’s more comfortable for you.

The Survival game video will be published on Wednesday.
