Action RPG Inventory System

Could this be the problem?

*Engine Bug Workaround Fix*
- Set Master Pose node on EquipmentCharacter's MainHand and OffHand Skeletal meshes can cause some imported art to flicker and disappear when attached to sockets.
Spoiler: 

[EquipmentCharacter]
- Simply remove the Set Master Pose node at the end of the logic in the OnRep_MainHandMesh() and OnRep_OffHandMesh() functions.
(It's really not needed on skeletal meshes that get attached to a socket. It's for syncing meshes to the same animation BP so they animate in sync but never caused issues in earlier engine versions)

Yes, I think it's what makes it flash and disappear for some people.

Can someone post an example how to prepare weapon skeletal meshes with Blender, or briefly outline the required steps? Adding just a skeletal mesh results in a flickering weapon, only briefly visible while moving, not exactly sure why

Could this be the problem?

The inventory and equipment window can not be moved any more, how can I fix it?

Window Drag has been disable until Epic fixes the UMG bug which breaks the inventory slots once the UI is dragged.

Yes like overrated stated there is logic to toggle on and off the window drag in the widgets. When epic fixes their bug in 4.15 you can just set the default value to allow dragging by default. Or feel free to change the logic as dragging windows has nothing to do with the inventory system and this does not affect the drag and drop of items.


If you read the patch notes it explains what logic was added to toggle the drag and also points towards the epic bug report on answer hub for the reasons why the drag is disabled currently. You are free to turn it back on but please understand with the current engine bug it will cause issues when testing and these bugs are not Inventory related. So it's better to just leave it off for now and continue to work on your project until the engine bug is fixed. You can reposition the default locations of windows by editing the UMG layout files.

Can we have a trade example within this system?

Any chance you are going to share those BP hacks?

Blueprint hacks? taking a template learning from it then building a new inventory system based on similar logic isn't classed as hack lol, also people building upon this inventory system adapting it to there needs also isn't hacks dude lol, and i'm sure you can learn these hacks your self.

Just to let people know what possible with this inventory system and its logic, I based our games inventory off the ARPG inventory logic our game got greenlit a few weeks back, so i thought i would share some features people my want to add into there own inventory systems.


Equipment dependency's
Having a single item occupy more than a single Equipment slot.

Item Durability
Items slowly degrade over time and use.



Item Popup Menu
Offers Features like item amount splitting, Use, Dropping, Repairing, Scraping really any logical related to the inventory and the item should be added here to call.

Update: I previously asked for info about dynamic MainHand socket. However, the animations i have which use a different MainHand bone, are being updated (just got the info). So if you own Riko's 2 Hand aniamtions, he will update those to work with Hand R bone.

I did what you told me and I solved the problem. Thank you for your help.

Hello there. When I send Line Trace in multiplayer, the beam passes through the character. I can write on the screen when the beam hits the wall, but it does not work on this character.

I want to reduce the HP of the character when the line trace hits the character. But the light passes through the character. It does not hit the character.

Looks like that

But, I do not have the same problem when I send it to the NPC.

By default in Unreal the PAWN preset does not block the Visibility Channel (The NPC Examples were set to block it). So for the player you will need to set the Collision preset to CUSTOM and then check the Block Visibility box if you are wanting to do a Visibility trace. There are many different types of traces you can do.

That being said you will probably want to do your trace abit differently for dealing damage then how the ARPGIS interact trace is setup as it's designed simply for interaction with objects.
There should be plenty of information on the Unreal wiki about raycasts/traces in blueprint that will help you understand better what way is best for your needs.
