UE4 Inventory and Crafting Setup / Database and Pickups

[@MeowMasterZombo]

The tutorial series still works as of this comment, in case anybody is wondering. I just finished them. Amazing work, hats off. Easily the best tutorial out here for an inventory with tons of possibilities.

[@KillerBearsaw]

This man showed us how to set up inventory database and pickup interactions with line trace in 22 minutes and 6 seconds where most other tutorials would have taken an hour! Fantastic!

[@ItsMeBro]

Glad you like it :) doing a livestream right now, working on a inventory that will be free to download and use. So it would speed up the game development process. :)

The item Isnt doing anything?

[@seligfay7497]

its cool. Many people start with difficult things, but your is simple and use tags. I love people use tags.

[@augustforever7198]

Just curious, do you comment any code in future videos?

[@kameenavery9616]

OOHH my GOD. dude I have been searching months to find a tutorial that can pull Item data from a Data table for me so I dont have to create each one myself. THANK YOU.

[@ItsMeBro]

Glad I could help!

Thank you for these tutorial series! Would you be willing to share the meshes and textures you used?

@It's Me Bro Is there any way you can show how to save this system? I've been trying different ways on my own but can't quite get it figured out.

hi Mrbro when I press E,the pickup master doesn't disappear as you display,then I check the thirdpersonBlueprint, when it operate to the second 'branch',it can't go on to 'cast to pickup_master',Why? plz help,thanks

[@ItsMeBro]

For testing. On keyboard E pressed, change "Draw debug type" to "For Duration". This will displayer the linetrace in game. And make sure you actually hit the pickup with it. If the line goes true the pickup and does not display impact point (square), than you might have ignored the visibility channel on your pickups collision. If it returns false from the branch, it means you haven't hit anything. So maybe your line trace in too short or something. So setting Draw Debug Type could help you see the problem.

[@carlosaugusto-fp4hc]

hi Mrbro when I press E, the master pickup does not disappear when you display it, I already had the "Draw debug type" to "For Duration and the red line is reaching the pickupMaster and showing a red box, but it does not disappear, help me I'm lost :(

[@TheShaShow]

Love you bro! Just I want to tell you to find a video on activating windows. My personal recommendation is to get a key from ebay from a highly rated reseller. I got mine for 4$, but that's besides the point. I love you videos man! Thank you for all the education provided here.

[@poyupuyu9595]

The tutorial is very good, but the assets required for the tutorial cannot be downloaded. Can you provide the download of the assets again? Otherwise, I will not be able to learn this tutorial. Thank you very much!

[@B0N3_]

hello first of all lotta thanks 4 this series its helping me A LOT with my project. The factor is that I am working on a FPP game and the pickup is not working for me... I don't know what to do, I followed all steps for 3 times now.. and it's not working for me. What should I do?

[@ItsMeBro]

Contact me on discord. Message me in private. I can try and help. Link in the description.

[@j.p.g7491]

Hi I tried your tutorial step by step and everything is fine but I still can't pick up the objects

[@ItsMeBro]

You have missed a step. Everything should work just like in the video. If you want, you can join the discord and send in screenshots in the help section. Make sure to screenshot everything you've created during this video, so we have as much as possible so it's easier and faster to find the issue.

[@MiyazakiMusic]

thank you for great tutorials. i have a little problem when loading saved equipments, it is loading equipment data perfectly but not meshes. i've watched your old tutorials about save-load inventory but didnt understand server collect item thing. need help. ty btw.

[@ItsMeBro]

I can try to help tomorow. Its getting late here. Join my discord and tag me tomorrow.

[@stormstudios1]

why does pickup master always fail to save edit: nvm for some reason it didnt like when i put a _ so i made it just PickupMaster and it worked

[@SunSilver0101]

Thanks for tutorials! And i have an BP runtime error when click on any non interactable objects: "Access none trying to read property CallFunc_BreakHitResult_HitActor" from Branch Node from character BP (timing on this video 8:51). Help me please.

[@ItsMeBro]

Try running isValid on HitActor after line trace.

[@SunSilver0101]

@@ItsMeBro Thanks for the answer! I did it. When a character stands close to the interactable object, then sometimes it does not take it (A mishit? because they are a little bit smalls? I can't understand), and it plays the condition Is Not Valid. :\

[@ItsMeBro]

@@SunSilver0101 Enable debug for the line trace. That will show you what it hits and where it goes. For more help consider joining my discord and posting some screenshots about the issue. (blueprints, gameplay with debugs on and such)

[@SunSilver0101]

@@ItsMeBro I see how logic works when debugging, but I do not understand the reason for this. While I will go further in your tutorials to add highlight objects. Perhaps it will help me understand where there is my mistake.

[@BeansOnToads]

Heya, I don't know if you can help me, but I have no static mesh after compiling my blueprint in 'Pickup_Master.' I don't know if this links to the issue, but I should note my static mesh component has in brackets '(StaticMeshComponent)' instead of '(Inherited)' Thanks

[@Aaaalfaroeo]

Probably the items in database don't have a mesh.

[@BlackGeoYoutube]

You have to choose another item first and then go back and choose empty to see the static mesh set for empty. A bug.

[@natsattv4470]

I did this on Unreal Engine 5. It seem when you get to 7:17 of your video. It not letting me Multiply. Kind of odd. Not sure what going on. Other then that everything works. It could be because it from another engine. Overall i do thank you for the videos.

[@ItsMeBro]

Ue4 has separate multiply nodes for each type, while ue5 has one for all that can be converted to any type.

[@natsattv4470]

@@ItsMeBro O ok. Not sure you mean by this. But i still learning. Not sure if i should convert back to UE4 for this videos. To maybe work. I do thank you for your time tho. Some good stuff.

@@natsattv4470 How did you do it in UE5? What did you do differently at this step?

[@llll-qz9kr]

my ocd is triggering on the s_inventory name rather than s_inventoryitem .. the structure is for items - which will go into the inventory, in slots.. with s_slots.. yea? was looking over the spaghettis trying to see if I understood what is going on and blabla long novel bai

[@ItsMeBro]

Oh my bad, sorry for not caring about your ocd. Still don't. Why don't you just name them how you prefer? Are you really that triggered about naming? + You think I got spaghetti? Bruh... Your a troll or a karen ain't ya?

[@gabehenry9404]

Do you know of a way to increase the size of each items hitbox? My interaction is working fine and items disappear but i have to be lined up just right on certain items

[@gabehenry9404]

I kind of found a solution, i just placed a static mesh of a sphere on the pickup master item and made it hidden. problem solved

[@ItsMeBro]

@@gabehenry9404 use collision box component just like you used the sphere. Also you can replace linetrace with a sphere trace.

[@BadWinterStudio]

@@ItsMeBro Reading about making mesh hidden in game helped me a bunch! however id like to learn more about using a collision box instead. if i set one up what do i change about the linetrace?

@@ItsMeBro literally on my way as we speak xD

I fixed it but some of my items are going threw the map

Because you are ignoring/overlaping all collisions. If you simulate physics, make sure you block world channels.

That gets added aswell.

[@throughthecorner9542]

hey iff you try this in unreal 5 it works bud it wont pick up. i got the multiply when pressed * not the option vector int. first i got the error from lower down the comments i put in a ´is valid´ on hit actor and put it before Branch. now the error is gone bud still not picking the item? i saw a other video the guy uses a sphere collision do i need to add this? im basicly following youtube toturials like a monkey hahahah. is this doable in unreal 5? i saw a comment that someone got the same thing and got it running bud never reply on the guy asking how. its been 4 years you may have tryed it in unreal 5 by now:P got stuck in the yourverse toturial aswel. the animation of opening the door and getting in needs a camera boom in the code he give. bud first person dont give one:P haha it drives tho and when the pc is cold it handels the crash and deforms. so i think i give this a shot bud got stuck realy fast:P iff i make it in unreal 4 and migrate it would that work? best regards

thanks

[@wouterjacobus5010]

fucking amazing

[@djgentertainment3675]

I certainly do not understand why you are using line trace to pick up objects - that seems unnecessary, not to mention odd.

[@ItsMeBro]

Unnecessary??? You need some kind of mechanic to pickup items. They will not pickup themselves... Regardless of mechanic, you still need to detect the items and line trace works good enough and fast enough.

[@djgentertainment3675]

@@ItsMeBro Of course, I understand that. I obviously had trouble because my camera only faces one way. It doesn't rotate with the player as it should be. After a thought, if it is a true 3rd/1st person then line trace from camera would work efficiently. In my case, I've had to resort to overlap with a CanPickup boolean. I didn't mean any disrespect and I think I could have worded it a lot better. Thank you for the tutorials though, apart from that part, it's been really helpful.

[@ItsMeBro]

@@djgentertainment3675 If you don't have a free movement camera, then yes, traces might not work. I personally prefer traces because that's the cheapest method. And it's great to hear that you where able to adjust based on your game. Keep it up. There will be another trace down the road, to return item names and such, but if you managed to change this into an overlap, you should have no issues to use the same overlap for that mechanic also.

[@djgentertainment3675]

@@ItsMeBro You are right, line traces are a lot cheaper than overlap/collision etc. I'm still trying to get used to Unreal as I've switched over from Unity. All is working perfectly now so far :)

[@Alex_Veresov]

Why overload the character class? All logic should be separate and know nothing about each other. The character must trigger events, everything is in Unreal by default.
