So it looks like Epic never got around to publishing the update. No email response from them either all week.
I hope it will happen before they all take the holidays off....

The main cause of this behavior is the trace is only interacting with the capsules collision which is still in its original transform, playing a animation does not change the transform of the capsule, a way to fix this is to setup a collision volume that covers the pawn in its death anim, and triggers it when the pawn is dies or simply replace the pawn with a loot actor after the animation has played.Originally posted by GeeksGoneBad View Post

Take a look at the Equipment Character in the InventorySystem\Blueprints Folder - you'll see the equipment slots there - they are skeletal meshes so they are not socketed

in the BP_Actor you need to set owner or else the "Run On Server" settings in a custom event won't work.Originally posted by DiziART View Post
Last time I checked though Set Owner in BP was broken.
This is not an issue with ARPGIS, it's an engine issue. Please check answer hub for more information on setting the owner for an ACTOR to use Custom Events. Or you will need to change your design to work around this engine bug.\\VANGUARD INTERACTIVE

Unlike the other hacky inventory systems on the marketplace this uses properly setup art to demonstrate how things should be done in normal development. The reason why all the worn items are Skeletal Meshes is so that they can animate with the character and have their weights painted so they bend properly with the animations.Originally posted by vyn_halcyon View Post
There are many tutorials online for rigging/Painting weights (both mean the same thing. Assigning bone data to the mesh for animation) and it is not specific to unreal. If your game is extremely basic like "Minecraft" style characters you can get away with only sockets.
In that case I would take a look at just changing the other slots logic to work like the MainHand/OffHand/Rings logic in the EquipmentCharacter.
And for reference the EquipmentCharacter gets manipulated by the EquipmentInventoryComponents->UpdateEquippedMeshes() function. This is where it sets and clears the meshes on the Character by updating the EquipmentCharacter class. So if you study that function and the EquipmentCharacter class it should be very obvious how it works.\\VANGUARD INTERACTIVE

Also I was able to get in touch with Epic directly today.
They said the 1.7 update should get out sometime tomorrow (Tuesday, December 20th) during their work day.\\VANGUARD INTERACTIVE

It is always advisable to fix redirectors and delete your saved and intermediate folders when you are having issues cooking.
When adding a new variable to the struct it will update any blueprint that uses the struct. A simple recompile and save is all it needs. You just need to compile InventoryComponent before you try and compile it's child EquipmentInventoryComponent and that's due to inheritance. If your blueprints start behaving strange it's an editor bug.
I would recommend posting any struct related issues on answerhub so they can hopefully fix them and not keep creating news ones.Last edited by Pirate; 12-19-2016, 08:42 PM.\\VANGUARD INTERACTIVE

I'm not sure why it thinks there are two instances of World_Actor in your project. I would fix it by double checking your map, cleaning up redirectors and delete the saved and intermediate folders. Maybe they are temporarily created while compiling if that's the case then the print strings aren't anything to he worried about. ButOriginally posted by Namesis View Post
It seems like there might be some bad references the editor is holding onto in your project after deleting/moving blueprints around or just regular development which is likely what's causing your cook to fail.
(This is a common issue in unreal and again not caused by the ARPGIS)
As for the Messages themselves they are nothing to be worried about and are by design. I added in-case a user created an item but setup something wrong and was wondering why it didn't show up. When you hit compile the construction script is run.
When the construction script runs for the World_Actor it tries to load the Item and Mesh.
But since the World Actor ID is set to None (these debug print strings I added show) where as the child classes of World_Actor with an ID specified that you place in the world have the ID set to the ItemID and won't trigger this.Last edited by Pirate; 12-19-2016, 09:16 PM.\\VANGUARD INTERACTIVE

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.Originally posted by Emrehan View Post
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.\\VANGUARD INTERACTIVE
