When you change inventory size to custom (28 on image) and inventory slots per row to a custom number (15 on image) and start adding/removivng additioanal slots in to inventory, these slots will use custom (6 slots per row) layout. Where to look @ to fix it?

If you look inside the InventoryManagerComponent->IncreaseInventorySlots() function you will see there is a local variable called LocalMaxRowSize set to 6.
It should really just be reading the InventorySlotsPerRow class variable in the two places this local variable is used and you can delete that LocalMaxRowSize variable after updating the logic.

I have added that bug to the update and patch notes. Thank you

The update has been submitted to Epic. It can take them a day or 5 to update. Usually they are pretty fast lately. So I suspect mid week.

I will finish adding screenshots to the patch notes and finalise them tonight.

Cool. Thanks!

When will the new update be published?

I have a new question How can I make the crosshairs more accurate? Let me describe a little and maybe you can point me in the right direction - I created a Desk, the drawers of the desk are usable items, when you use them they open and close - pretty simple.... but when the drawers are closed the area to click on them is very small and is not the whole face of the drawer (as you'd expect) - so where can I look to make that system work across the entire mesh of the object?

Thanks!

False alarm! I figured it out - in the "GetUsableActor" in the "InventoryPlayerController" I set the "Trace Complex" of the "LineTraceForObjects" to true and that gives me exactly what I want!

Hey, i have bought your project, and is working great so far, i managed to merge into my project, but for nothing i can make the client to work on it, hud spawns, everything, but i can`t press anything on client side, with server all good, and replicating to the client, what am i doing wrong?

Hey Guy, I have been working on this yesterday and I am realy excited to show you this hover UI for the ActionRPGInventorySystem.
The movement of the UI adapts to your screen size and the wight and hight of the Tool Tip.

Nice work

I just spent the same day doing the same thing .

If you had read the update notes on a page back it would of saved you doing that hack approach, your better off waiting for the next update to drop because the tooltip logic has been overhauled.

[MENTION=31112]unit23[/MENTION] you should be setting the inventory actor class to just actor theres no reason to set it to a child, that way you can use the single variable for any type of actor you want to spawn using that inventory item, if you plan on having a lot of weapons i would look at a data table approach which doesn't depend on adding any extra variables to the item list, PS i also picked up that plugin but it seems it only collides on pawn bone collision so its useless at the moment for me.

Well, there is a problem with the MeleeTrace, it crashes when casting a trace to the MainHandWeaponReference. Per default you directly get the MeleeWeaponClass reference with above setup, not directly the parent class. Will continue to look into this a little later ...

The original code


OKAY, i fixed it, see below video, basically you need to plug the EquipmentCharacterReference into the SpawnActor Instigator node

If someone needs more screens refer to the MeleePlugin forum post

Glad you were able to get everything setup in your project

Yes, and thanks to your excellent support Pirate! And the timing is just perfect, since i installed the TracePlugin this week, and was wondering the past days how to blend it into ARPGIS. Basically the TracePlugin is the same as your WeaponActor, but with some additional functionality for setting up traces and the On Hit logic.

ps. You might want to delete my quote, since i updated it a little and less image loading

Changes to adapt the new approach for equipment (MainHand and Shield), with MeleeTracePlugin "MeleeClass".

InventoryItem with additional (purple) "MeleeClass" for the MeleeTrace Plugin https://www.unrealengine.com/marketp...tracing-plugin


The following changes affect EquipmentInventoryComponent

Additional LocalVariable for the Shield (with WeaponActorClass Reference). The MainHand uses the same, but with the MeleeWeaponClass (MeleeTracePlugin class variable), instead of the WeaponActorClass (ARPGIS class variable name). You have to delete the Spawn actor from class node, and some variables and the destroy actor node, because Unreal still refers to those based on the initial setup. So in case a node is broken, delete those nodes, and re-create the node, then you can connect nodes.


Additional UpdateOffHandShield function, basically same as the newly introduced (ARPGIS 1.7) UpdateMainHandWeapon function, just with the shield variables. Notice for the MeleeTracePlugin the class is called "MeleeWeaponClass" we use here the "MainHand", and for the Shield (OffHand) the new ARGIS WeaponActorClass.


Important, set the new local variables, inside the existing UpdateEquippedMeshes function.


Bottomline, it takes about 30-60 minutes to update per the ARGIS 1.7 Instructions (Launcher ready next week) https://forums.unrealengine.com/show...l=1#post635726 , which also include the bug issues from the past weeks. Those instructions work also for the TopDownMultiplayerKit - merged with ARGIS.

Update
This change does not work in the merged project - Updated Line Trace in InventoryPlayerController->GetUsableActor() to now trace by Channel Visibility instead of by Objects.
