Hi, this is my first time on here! I am relatively new to programming in UE.
I am working on a personal project using blueprints in UE5.3. I have an array of structs I am using for my inventory system and I am able to add only the first instance of the blueprint. I have a quantity property of the specific item’s struct in the inventory that I am incrementing by one each time the item is “picked up”. I made a parent blueprint and made children blueprints that derive from the parent. I am also using a Map with an unique identifier for each item.
The issue comes in where I am unable to “pick up” any other instance of a specific item blueprint in a level except for the very first one (index returns -1). This occurs for each unique item blueprint. I am using the overlap event and a key to pick up items.
I feel like this may be an easy solution, but I’ve been at this for days. I would appreciate the help in solving this. (: I attached my code below. Please ask for any clarification if needed.
Note: I’m at a very early stage of this system and I am aware that the code may be ‘inefficient’. This is my first project and I am still learning, so please feel free to provide kind guidance. ^^
