Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial - Inventory System Part 11: Container Inventory

[@louthinator]

I posted this on a previous tutorial but it needs to be said here too, on the OnKeyDown section, after the branch and before the remove from parent, add a "Cancel Drag Drop" node, it stops an issue where if you close the inventory while still dragging an item, it won't mean it's stuck on screen with your mouse cursor.. it also prevents a bug where you can grab an item from the container, close the UI without letting go of the item, run away, open the inventory, then click it into your inventory later, as you could understand in a multiplayer game that could be abused a lot :P

[@f.e.creation7950]

Nice tip total underrated

[@rubbakeys16k99]

Nice!

[@neversaydiegaming4868]

What part of the tutorial is that at? I just noticed the problem in my game. Edit: Nevermind found it its at 18:11

[@WesleyWeaverPenumbra]

For UE5.5 (or other advanced interact users) You can run the interaction off the "started" node instead of the "triggered" node. This means it only opens the inventory once when started instead of the entire time it's triggered. This helps keep it from opening more than one instance that you then can't close because it doesn't have focus.

[@ramankarabko3659]

oh, i'm dumb, and don't get :(

[@ramankarabko3659]

get it: in inventorySystem we have created IA for interaction, instead of wire it from Triggered, u can wire from Started; Second fix, is change IA asset from Down to Pressed (Down fires multiple events while key is down, pressed only initially fires ones)

[@WesleyWeaverPenumbra]

For third person if you're not getting the interact you can go into the inventory component, then to the interaction trace, then split the end pins on the trace and subtract from the z to make the trace look down a little. Tweak it with debug on to get the behavior you want.

[@dustinsmith8341]

For everyone that cant get chest inventory to pop up. Check around 9:14. Make sure to add that inventory component and connect the node.

[@HHondi]

sory im a bit new to ue5, but how do i do that?

[@kanebrady2228]

sorry, what do you mean?

[@neversaydiegaming4868]

THANKS!!

[@gudakoccc2596]

Indeed, especially when use interface function with HUD(not widget), remember to add an input for inventory component, and link it where you call the function

[@neversaydiegaming4868]

Yea I think an update broke this. at around 9:15 ish Get HUB doesn't connect to the Cast to player controller. EDIT! at 7:07 you don't need cast to player controller as its already being called by Event INteract with, Instead just add the Get hub and plug that into Show container and Event with. Also If you're having trouble finding "Show Container" Be sure to turn off context sensitive when right clicking on the vent graph

[@Gonzo429]

Thank you so much I would of never found that myself

[@ArmTheNub]

Update for individuals who are having an issue with the inventory displaying multiple times or "Doesn't Close" when using the chest inventory on client side. If you are running 5.4+ with the new input system you have to set your input triggers to "Pressed" with an actuation set to 0.1 to fix it. This should flush out inputs so you don't have to toggle it in the "Input Only Mode"

[@perroloco728]

HEROOOOO

Hi! I have that issue but i didn't understood how to fix :( I will be so grateful if you can write "steps" to complete, thank you so much!

[@ArmTheNub]

@@Lalilonde Unfortunately I don't think there is an easy way to explain a step by step, I am willing to assist via discord if there is something specific that may cause the issue

[@limitspassed6602]

@@Lalilonde In the containerinventory widget the set input mode ui only has a flush input. You can click that to true and that will fix the issue. The other way is in the IA_Inventory enhanced input you might have you can set the input action to pressed with an actuation of 0.1.

PROBLEM SOLVING!!! In this tutorial it does not show it on his screen, HOWEVER at 16:19 During construct, it has a boolean for me called flush input. i was having problem's where if i opened the chest on the server side, it seemed like it was opening many and i could not get it to dissapear.(It seem's i was correct) I ticked "Flush Input" on the "Set input mode UI only" and now my server side is able to succesfully open AND close the widget. (THANK GOD). However i do not know if this is a permanent solution, as i am an amateur. I hope this help's.

[@vizorsnix]

thank you! was scratching my head on this one for awhile. no idea how you figured it out but big thumbs up to you

that must be a 5.1 or newer thing. He doesn't have it, but I do and I'm on 5.3. I guess I'll tick it here and the last time I saw it, just incase I end up making my game multiplayer.

[@NuhgitKyng]

Keep I mind isk if this is a proper fix, it's just what was working for me. Ask Ryan if it's proper for multiplayer

[@HenryTheOneAndAHalfth]

For me it was the EnhancedInput update that screwed me over. This happens with EnhancedInput if you use the "Triggered" pin. The solution is using the "Completed" pin instead in InventorySystem --> Event Graph --> EnhancedInputAction IA_Interact (or whatever you called the input action).

[@pauldebus4070]

Your tutorials are much appreciated! Keep going the awesome work.

[@GrumpyGillsFishing]

I never made the “MyPlayerController” because I was using enhanced input actions and didn’t care about setting up controller inputs lol. Now I’ve got to back track and fix that so I can get this to work.

[@alodelore9597]

Have you found a way? I can't seem to find any info in the world about "MyPlayerController". Noone has ever mentioned it. I am stuck because of that supid call :/

[@WarpaintStudios]

If you haven't done this yet, you may not need to. If you are using BP_ThirdPersonCharacter (or the firstperson one) do this, right click: "get owning player" drag return pin and search for "enhanced input local player subsystem" from that "Query keys mapped to action", set the action as whaever input action you set up (if you are using same naming as standard then it will start with IA_), set return value to"contains", from in key event pin on "on key down" drag and "get key", connect that to contains, then into a branch, then "cancel drag drop (this stops that bug of having th mouse pointer on screen if you close while not hovering over the grid) then "remove from parent" and into return node with handled in return value. I hope this helps :)

[@Morph_SC]

Hi ! Thanks a lot for all your videos, there are really easy to follow and clear :). I have one question around 14:30, when you call a local event to open the ui, your try to get the component and if it's not valid, go on local event. But what if you want to execute an action on local and on server ? Based on your previous video, when I interact on the container, I want to open an ui as shown on the video (with a message "container is empty" for exemple) but I also want it to be destroy for everyone ? Any idea ? Thanks a lot :)

[@K1N3RGY]

Anyone else found that before even going to part #12 that you can already drag and drop between both containers? Only problem I can see is when the client tries to access the storage it still shows up for the client but with an empty inventory. Which will in effect allow both players to use the same storage chest with different inventory's?

I was encountering the issue where I had more than one container inventory appearing on screen and couldn't find where the second widget was being added to viewport so at the very end of the Event Destruct of the ContainerInventory widget, I added a "Get All Widgets Of Class" node with a For Each Loop and connected that to a final Remove from Parent node and it toggles on and off perfectly now. Its probably not the "right" way to handle it and I hope it doesn't come back to bite me later, but it's a good bandaid for now I think?

I couldn't get the widget to show up when I interacted with the chest. For me the fix was that in the InventorySystem I had used the target of the Server_Interact as the "is valid" check, instead of using the "Get Component By Class" return value. In other words the valid check was never not valid, which caused the chest to not be interactable.

@@DangerFishing Many people are having this problem here. What was your solution?

[@Spartanhoplite542]

My container side is also not appearing. Anyone figure this out? Had attempted to harmonize the Quest Interaction system with this interaction system but now I think the problem lies somewhere in the Chest blueprint's interaction event. Ryan casts to the Player controller and then Shows Container from the event graph whereas I'm doing it from the Interface graph.

[@jakespencer917]

weirdly he does the same or similar things in a lot of his tutorials. He will do it 1 way in one, then an entirely different way in another. It isn't bad really, but a beginner following it will for sure get lost lol

[@joeldiab1750]

I made it so that when the player right clicks on an object it picks it up which works great with everything but when I open the chest, close it and right click anywhere in the scene, the line trace doesn't interact with the chest but still opens it. Anyone know why this is happening?

[@ImageInUnreal]

I havent watched the vid yet, so im not sure if the interacted with chest is set as a variable or not. But it sounds like you are storing the chest as a variable to interact with, and not clearing it. So, when you right click it still has the chest actor set as a variable to interact with and so it interacts with it. Might just need to clear it as a reference somewhere, or not set it as a variable

[@peachyslothart990]

I have everything connected correctly, but when I interact with the chest my player inventory shows double. Then when I close the chest, one of the player inventory stays on the screen. If I am looking at the player inventory separately it opens and closes just fine. Only happens when opening a chest. Anyone know how to stop this duplication? :(

[@jellyfish6042]

I found a solution (don't really know if it is). So in your ContainerWidget>>Event Construct>>Set Input Mode UI Only tick "Flush input" to be true✔. It solved for me a problem :)

[@mateokaloper7647]

I have been using this tutorial (really helpful by the way) and I got myself a issue, eveytime I open the player inventory (i key) I have to close it with e (E is my interactable key), Someone have the same issue?

[@shawdawg.gaming]

(I see this is 8 months old, but don't see a response, so I will provide what I think the solution for your issue is) If this is in reference of when you are in the chest menu its because the "i" key isn't added to the on key down function. If you followed the tutorial for KB and mouse and gamepad you will have 3 options plugged into the OR Boolean add a 4th option for the "i" key and it should fix your issue.

[@KBox-dq9go]

Can't get the chest inventory to appear. A lot of code unfortunately gone to to waste.

[@GooseYT69]

hello my widget wasnt spawning in either, I changed the Trace By Sphere in the Inventory System Interact Act with Function to a Line Trace and it works, it gives errors but it at least opens which is an improvement.

[@Ser0zine]

You might need to change the buttons but it works

[@NuhgitKyng]

I feel like you have made a mistake, maybe review your code, try debugging rather than giving up.

[@becomeplayer1]

Any tips for having the items fly out of the chest? (Like Fortnite)

[@EmperorVigor]

You could probably spawn objects when interact is used instead of opening the menu. For instance, spawn in some apples (TESTItem) which you then can pick up. You just need to find a propper place to call a spawn function. Unsure where though. You could add a function that you call when a key is pressed and that function spawns stuff. That way you can work on the spawning and have it working before you add it wherever it should be called from.

[@marcomoutinho.gamedev]

this system has a "bug" if a player interact with the Chest/Box while other player also is interacting the first player can not never get rid off the widget on screen EDIT: In my playtest when my Chest/Box inventory widget is Active IF I press LMB when I press E key again, to close ContainerInventory it creates another Container Inventory Widget. Why? EDIT 2 The only solution was to put a button filling the all screen. IDK why this works, but it has to be a Button, an image can not do the job... Im guessing the bug has to do with Mouse Click on the screen or something BTW it happen with both mouse buttons

[@Ryan15T]

I think I was having a similar issue, The container inventory widget would seem to create 2 instances, but only remove one. leading to being able to open multiple if you kept opening and closing the chest. also they could be dragged into after you ran away from it.. My solution was in the container inventory widgets, "OnKeyDown" Function, after the branch after the true statement, use a "Get all widgets of class" and make the widget class your container inventory widget, plug the found widgets into the remove from parent. and it goes away.

[@jason_tarr]

Are you on UE5.1 with the new inputs system? If you are you need to go to your input action for interact and add a trigger "Tap". This stops it double reading and opening multiple instances.

[@TheWufstyle]

seems its a focus problem.. I dont need to put a button in.. I just need to make the mouse click inside the inventory grid.. Then I can close it again.. Kinda seems like it takes focus away from the first client, when second client opens it up.. And then you need to click it to get focus back.. Actually if I just click outside the grid, I cannot close it either.. until I click the grid again

[@WolfBytesDev]

@@TheWufstyle Im having this same problem. any one found a fix for this or "can shed light on where ive screwed up" ? lol

[@jerrylp4396]

@@WolfBytesDev If you set a player controller's input mode to UI Only when trying to show a modal widget, clicking in the empty/dead space of the viewport causes focus to shift back to the player controller. If you don't want this behavior, the easiest workaround is to set the root CanvasPanel's visibility in your modal widget to Visible instead of Self Hit Test Invisible. This will cause the CanvasPanel to absorb all click events, including the click event that would normally send your focus back to the player controller. this helped me

[@kawaiiwaste]

my dumbass forgot to connect set menu to add to viewport's target and i was trying to figure out why i couldnt access the chest for an hour. anyways if anyone is struggling with accessing the widget you might as well check that lol

[@RileyMacfarlane-cg3or]

Thanks to Ryan for these videos!! I'm after some help though if possible I'm sure I've made a mistake somewhere. I've been trying to implement my game for a single player version of the tutorial not sureif this could be the reason for my issue: the players inventory grid and slots seem to be showing fine but the chest side is only showing the grid and no slots can be seen.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/omfIiaSBZd97fqs Started seeing this one. Any idea what I may have done wrong? Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property CallFunc_GetPlayerCameraManager_ReturnValue". Node: Sphere Trace By Channel Graph: InteractionTrace Function: Interaction Trace Blueprint: InventorySystem

[@fizzyburr7057]

The chest has the inventory component and also wants to trace by channel. Thats useless. So after your tick event in inventory component you can go "Get Owner -> Get Class -> Class is Child of "PlayerBP" -> Branch with True into Interaction Trace" as a temporary fix. Saying temporary because this leads to every inventory component checking the class over and over again every tick.

[@thefactorycreek]

Is there a better solution that you found? I am experiencing this too @@fizzyburr7057

[@Darryd]

Would anyone happen to know why at 9:15 his inventory system node is replicated and mine isn't? I have the same setup he does in terms of "Component Replicates" I have that already ticked. Just isn't displaying the two white orbs saying its replicated.

[@thefactorycreek]

I see mine is doing this too. My AC_InventoryComponent is ticked to replicate too. Did you find out why?

[@Darryd]

No I had to change up my characters inventory system to something premade. A shame but I have the link if you'd like it.@@thefactorycreek
