Unreal Engine 4 - Inventory System Tutorial /w Chests (Free Download)

[@xdoom1111]

I just started learning UE4 coding to make myself a project and followed Ryan Laley's tutorial step by step and he was making lots of mistake while doing his tutorial. Was looking for tips all around and found your channel, just stated watching your tutorial and this helped me alot more than his videos. I start to understand more now.

[@raccoon_05]

This is exactly the system I wanted for my game. Thanks so much for the tutorials. You just earned a sub ;)

[@vizzinihq7071]

I feel like the videos go too fast. I'm used to having to pause tutorials while following them. But I have to pause constantly, rewind, trying to find where I was. Sometimes they end up taking way longer and I miss things. Just my opinion. With that said. I still love your tutorials and all you are doing for the community. Your help has been so valuable. Not trying to sound judgmental. THANKS

[@Beardgames]

Hey Vizzini I appreciate the comment amigo! During these tutorials I was still going a bit fast but I slow down for future tutorials :) Sorry for the inconvenience just stick with me a few more episodes until it slows down!

[@DadGeekUK]

@@Beardgames I found this too but a good solution is to decrease the video speed. It does tend to make you sound drunk though!

[@treasuresmash6824]

I followed someone else's tutorial on how to make a shop/ inventory but it was rather complicated. It would be cool if you made a tutorial on how to make a shop.

[@realdlps]

I really need to put some time aside for this after the epic mega jam cause this stuff is worth learning, Awesome video!

[@Beardgames]

Haha you'll get there my dude! Trying to get as much content out as possible so don't stress ;)

[@lloydmilton]

This is working awesomely in UE5 cheers for these videos man!!!! One comment / thing for improvement I would suggest - a third link to files that only need to be included since the last tutorial in this inventory series - downloading another GB of files most of which I already have is a bit of a PITA just saying but overall loving the way you do your tutorials!!!

[@megtwin]

@Beardgames Is there any intention to add Crafting to this Inventory System anytime soon? Its hard to find a simple crafting and inventory system tutorial anywhere.

[@amigoface]

love your stuff bro, right to the point !. keep up the excellent work

[@Beardgames]

Thank you so much! Trying really hard at the moment to take my content to a next level, really motivating getting comments like this :)

[@bignekidbatzero]

I'm tring to figer out how to get a lock door to check your inventory for a small key you picked up I just need a bool that can find a key in the inventory.

[@vizor5536]

Great work, I noticed if I'm moving and click on a chest, I am unable to close the chest. If I'm not moving I can open and close the chest. But if I'm moving and try to open the chest I get stuck in the open position and can not close the chest. How can I fix this from happening?

[@TheGhos1Face]

Amazing job brother! One suggestion : I think a drag and drop feature would be a nice thing to add to the system. Appreciate your work anyways man👏🏻👏🏻

[@Beardgames]

I completely agree but I think I might be done with inventory systems for now. I might come back to it later but I need to continue with the series :D

[@TheGhos1Face]

@@Beardgames i totally understand mate good job anyways! Can't wait for the next video

[@DeeJayShawnC]

@@Beardgames Any thoughts on coming back to this series? :)

[@DadGeekUK]

@@DeeJayShawnC I'm currently going through this series and having a lot of success. Would love to see how to have a chest that works in both directions, i.e. can be used to store items rather than just be looted. A controller interface for the inventory system would be good too!

[@thabudmaster]

is it possible to make a rarity table & spawn random items from the table into the chests? Say i have 5 different rarities (common, rare, super rare etc) each with 20 items in, you spawn 10 of the items randomly when you open the chest?

[@StarvingWolff]

i know its pretty old but i've been wondering if we can make the Use/Drop button dissapear when we click on another item. theres a problem when we do this as the button is still showing and then both are overlapping one another and looks pretty bad. i think the issue is that even tho it hides it when we press the same item it doesn't when pressing a different one, how can we make it so it does?

[@DeeJayShawnC]

I have this issue as well. Did u fix it?

[@sabitashah11]

Hey, Your the best. I finally got everything working. I would appreciate it if you could add in how to add a weapon pickup. Im using the side scroller framework from the market and i tried to do it but no success. I can pick up the item and it will go into the inventory, but when i drop it to equipped it, It becomes a dud. The Frame work has to options to pick it up. Either replace it or destroy old weapon and equipping the new one. It is a skeletal Mesh. I tried to merge both health potion blueprint and weapon blueprint together but its not working out. This is all i need. Ive been working on my game for 5 months now. This is the only thing holding me back. I would greatly appreciated it. Thank you.

[@MRPGAMINGsLIVEHOUSE]

Hi, I have followed your tutorial to this point and after i added the ability to spawn the consumables the chest and the chest menu, i am now not able to use or drop items from my inventory, please help as your tutorial series has really helped me. thank you

[@mattr5413]

Hey Great tutorial! Only one problem I have is the items aren't appearing in the chest? been over the tutorial a few times and cant seem to find a reason anyone might know?

[@mattr5413]

Just found my mistake Thanks again for the tutorial!

[@gabrielfleury2008]

Hello, for some reason when I got the item from the chest it comes to my inventory but without the icon I've selected before, and without the description of the item, and the item is not stacking with other same items either. Can anyone help me?

[@dev_mauricio_unreal]

Hello, how are you? Could you ask me a question? I've been studying for 3 months and I learned several things, among them the question of taking the weapon out of its sheath and drawing it like a sword for example. And alternate the animation between unarmed and armed. But I don't know how to alternate the animations of armed and unarmed attacks, there is always only one animation. Another thing is whether it is possible to configure an animation instance according to the weapon the character uses.

[@Beardgames]

Hey dude! Over the next few videos I will be doing tutorials on this exact issue. I still need to learn some things and find the best way of doing it + teaching it myself, so instead of trying to explain it if you could wait for the next few video releases it will explain all your issues :)

[@Megu.439]

could you add so when we use an item it does something like when you use a stamina potion it actually restores 50 energy

[@xtazeproductions260]

It's in your Item BP (in your case Stamina Potion). Just change the print string to whatever you want. He did a tutorial about consumables (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXutYZ9mg5edhrM), it'll help you

[@DominionSpecialOps]

The question is, when you drop an item that u picked up from a crate, it doesnt remove items from players inventory, can some one help plz? &)

[@TolisPiperas82]

Hallo how can you implement this tutorial in your flexible combat system?

[@Beardgames]

I'll be giving the system a free update over the next few months and a part of the update is an inventory system with lootable containers :)

[@Pontos420]

Is there a way to add the "UseDropHUDWidget" to the viewport (always on top)? I played around with the Zorder in the inventory slot widget bp but it does not have any effect... The Button of Drop & Use are always below the other items in the inventory or chest.

[@Beardgames]

Make sure you put a higher z order for items on top :) the higher the number the later there loaded in and the further on top they'll be!

[@Pontos420]

@@Beardgames I tried that, did not work. Maybe I screwed up at some point... but I will check your videos again maybe I find the answer. :)

[@dev_mauricio_unreal]

4:07 I don't understand why, but when I changed the enum from healthpotion to actor the main code showed errors, is it possible for me to add another enum in the same way to avoid this type of error?

[@Beardgames]

I think the information needs to be in the same enum however what you can do it leave it as health potion and then create a child actor of the health potion for your other potions. This means they'll all use the same reference :)

[@dev_mauricio_unreal]

@@Beardgames ty man! obrigado!

[@reinspieler]

Ahhh i got lost. 6 days after i did the first half of the tutorial i got time and now i have different results than you. Confused right now

[@Beardgames]

It's a super confusing topic! Even if you don't manage to get a finished perfected system you'll have definitely learnt something along the way so when it comes to producing a system in the future you'll know what's going on🙂 But have a play around with it and see what's going on, it really help your learning a bit of troubleshooting!
