Hello there. I’d like to say the vending machine is a great device, but I think its missing some settings that could make it so much better. The way you buy items could use a change were instead of using gold or materials you could open your inventory and/or choose something from the consumables tab.
For how you place an item inside as the selling item, you can have an option to put in more then just 3 items in. I know its possible to place a lot more then just 3 items in UEFN so why not make it an option to just put in a set amount of items you want. Dropping items in front of the machine is also a little annoying sometimes when you have more then 1 next to it stealing the item you have. I would say if it was possible to have something similar to the open inventory idea were you can place items you want to sell from the creative tabs or just from your inventory.
Another change I wish we had the option to chose is how the cycle works or even add a button system where you can choose which weapon you want to swap too. If that would be too much then maybe adding a cycle time setting would work because having an option to turn it off would be good so you could look at what you want and take your time.
My last change I would absolutely love is how much noise the machine makes because the more you have close to each other is so loud. If there was a setting to lower the volume of the ambience and the switching cycle would be great.
Thank you for taking time to look at my idea.
