Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial - Inventory System Part 2: Interaction System

[@staticpulse1]

For anyone trying to interact in third person, here was my solution (not perfect). I replaced "Get Player Camera Manager" with "Get Player Character" in the InventorySystem Blueprint > Interaction Trace section, also changed "Radius" to 90 for "Sphere Trace By Channel". I wanted First person and Third person capability, so I copied over the interaction system again, so I had 2 versions, one with Camera Manager set with radius of 15, then another section with get player character with a radius of 90. These were both controlled via a branch, the branch condition was whether my player character was in First Person mode or not. (This was a variable I had set in my Player Blueprint). To get the condition of this variable. Add another "Get Player Character", then from return value drag off and then "Cast to ", then from the blue bubble that says "As " drag off and get the state of the variable you created in the character BP.

[@TheBeepestEver]

For anyone wondering how to do this in third person, I tried what others did in the comments to no avail, so what I did that seems to work well is: plug get player pawn > Get actor location > "start" in the sphere trace by channel , then I did get player camera manager > get actor forward vector then you multiply the return value by the interaction range variable, add the product to the return value from the get actor location from before, and put the result from the add node into "end" on the sphere trace by channel. Works perfect for me now

Yea, thanks, the worked.

[@tylerunderfirevr]

it seems there is problems with the player camera manager as reference, i have a better setup for the actor location and rotation which goes like this "Get Owner" ----> "get Actor Location"----> (add node) and another off get owner--->"Get Actor Rotation"---->"Get Forward Vector"---->(Multiply node) plug in interaction range float into the multiply node then that output plug into the add node then off of that plug it into another add node, split the struct pin of that one it should be orange and green, add another pin, then get 2 random float in ranges, and plug them into X and Y my ranges for x were min-50 max 70 and for y is -50 max is 50 plug that add node into start, pull off the add node and make a subtract node, the Z value should be 95 and plug that into end, this will try to trace towards the ground and this wouldnt matter FPS or Third person

[@starblaiz1986]

Oh perfect, thank you! I knew I needed to replace the camera location with the actual player location, but wasn't sure which node to use. Get Player Pawn was what I needed!

[@AdamJanz3D]

My basic setup for *3rd Person* simply modifies a few nodes in the existing Interaction Trace function: 1. Replace "GetPlayerCameraManager" node with "GetOwner" node. 2. Replace "SphereTraceByChannel" with "CapsuleTraceByChannel" (don't forget to set the Trace Channel to "Interactive"). 3. Plug the Add node into *BOTH* the Start and End inputs of the Capsule trace (this will trace a vertical capsule directly in front of your character's capsule. Change "Draw Debug Type" to "For one frame" to visualize this). 4. Set the Capsule trace "Radius" to be at least the same size as your Character capsule's Radius. 5. Set the Capsule trace "Half Height" to be a bit bigger than your Character capsule's Half Height (so you can detect items on the ground).

[@lord-fishv7355]

Just to help anyone doing a top-down Game. You should create an input action called (anything that means iteraction) and then put it in your BP_Player, then get your mesh (or static mesh, or just whatever you are using for your character) to get its world location and forward vector. You should then get your inventory system and plug it into the Is Valid, and from the inventory system in your BP_Player, get your interaction trace. Now go into your inventory component by doable clicking on the interaction trace function, and once you have created two new inputs called world location and forward vector, go back to the BP_Player and put whatever mesh or static mesh you are using, world location and forward vector, into the interaction trace function. The interaction trace should activate when the interaction key is pressed, as you should not be needing to check if you can interact with something when you don't want to interact with anything. It should also save some performance. If you want to make it so something comes up on your HUD, then all you need to do is make a new function with the same layout but loop it on a Begin Play with a 0.1 delay or maybe even a 0.3, as this doesn't need to be responsive as the player interaction.

[@nickbakalos91]

I am trying to do this exactly but I can't get it to work. Are you able to elaborate a bit more?

[@lord-fishv7355]

​​@nickbakalos91 what happens / doesnt happen. like sphere trace not working or something else. you should also use the print string to find out if its getting stopped at any point. if you could give me some more information on what is happening/not happening when you click the interaction button then I can give better help. but for now probably should of just said take the code off begin tick and onto a Input Action and change the camera manager to the static mesh you are using as the character if you are using a model in the character mesh then use that instead.

[@garethanderson6980]

if you need this interaction with cursor enabled, I managed to follow majority of this, only thing in the interaction trace instead of a sphere trace, i used (Get player Controller - Get hit Results under cursor by channel) then followed on.

[@jakespencer917]

Everyone asking how to do this as a collision instead of a trace. Simply make the collision check on the player, check for overlapping actors, go through each with a break, make sure they implement the BIP and then if true set that to the inventory components target item. From there, call your look at function. This does not require the tick on the Inventory either.

[@t3hpwninat0r]

This is excellent so far. Interaction system is super important for most games and the way it's done here is pretty much perfect. It's extensible so much that it will work on anything - NPCs, chests, doors, keys, anything the user can interact with, but also with some tiny additions we could have a separate type of interaction like press E to use/pickup, hold F to revive downed player etc etc :)

[@gamerdweebentertainment1616]

Don't like needing to use Tick, but I might be brainwashed to avoid using at all costs. I suppose Sphere Collision Overlap on character would be the same effect on system resource.

[@t3hpwninat0r]

@@gamerdweebentertainment1616 tick is ideal for non-replicated things regarding player control and feedback so that it appears to be running continuously or as an instant reaction to something the player did. you can either trigger an event via interface or broadcast, start and stop a timer, or do on tick. most times tick is the bad choice, but for input stuff like tracing what the user is pointing at, it's the best choice. you don't want any feeling of "input lag".

[@t3hpwninat0r]

@@gamerdweebentertainment1616 by the way, sphere collision overlap is a sphere trace that happens on tick but only triggers an event when the trace hits. sphere trace however is still very cheap in terms of CPU cost, like line trace, but line trace is usually used much more deliberately which is why its initiated deliberately in your blueprint more often. sphere traces are more often done automatically by an actor component and your blueprint just waits for it to trigger one of your events so it's not obvious that the component is causing a trace on tick. (when i say "often" i mean how many times you add the node to your blueprint, not how many times the trace is executed)

[@garethanderson6980]

Ok, so looking into this further and adapting, the way Ryan does it in the video is good for FPS. To do it for the third person, we have 2 nodes, either Get Player Pawn or Get Player character. if you plug these in following the above video, you will get an error "Accessed None trying to read property" To stop this error, pull off and find "? is valid" node. This works if you put it before the sphere trace by channel, The error stops.

[@theshaderpilgrim6151]

That Look at Vector is also awesome with camera component in Third Person gameplay... You just have to get World Location from the camera for 'Start' and his World Rotation-> get Forward Vector * X value for 'End'... Very intuitive, great tutoriel !

[@LimitspassedGames-d2y]

Not sure if this will help anyone but you could make a instanced editable and expose on spawn first person boolean on the player bp. Call that boolean in the inventory component. With a cast to the player bp and the boolean following you then you could make a branch and for one branch have way it's done here. On the false branch you could do the same by making a second variable for the distance. So 2 variables called fpinteractionrange and tpinteractionrange. From there you'd tweak it as you like. Now if you wanted to do a capsule you could and make it directly in front of the player for interaction.

[@erksipa]

Should it be on the Event Tick though? Could use a timer to make it more stable?

[@TheIronicRaven]

I think there has been an update to the engine since this video was made, I am at 9:45 roughly and can't find anywhere in the editor that shows anything about Trace Response. Has that been moved to a new location somewhat recently? NVM, just found it. I hadn't clicked on the Cube model 😆

[@Abc-tx4zr]

how do you fix the problem of picking up the item multiple times when look at different parts of the object, like from one corner to another,

[@-pcmr-108]

Would it not be more efficient to have a trigger sphere around each interactable item, and use on overlap for the logic, instead of every tick?

[@Denuki]

Imagine there's multiple objects close to each other. If the player's right in between them and triggers the interact function, ALL objects that are overlapping the player would respond. And if you'd set up a variable that stores the object to interact with, it would be the very last object the player has overlapped with-not the closest one. But yeah, I also wouldn't recommend using the Tick event. Just call the function via looping SetTimerByFunctionName. This way you can adjust how often it schould be called and even stop it by clearing that timer.

[@-pcmr-108]

@@Denuki Yeah, I've had to do this before with Unity. You'd have a list of objects that you are overlapping with, and on overlap, you'd do a cast to find out if its in the direction you're facing, if so add to list, then sort list by distance while giving the player an option to cycle through objects in the list.

Hey, Ryan, Isn't setting separacte channel for interactable objects would lead to being able to interact with them through other objects?

At 4:35, Do you need to add the owning actor into an array to ignore when there's a boolean that says ignore self already checked? Or does that mean something different?

So why not use Block trace, default? If there's no interface on object, it won't react either way, I think. or use "has interface" if it crashes/gives errors

[@t3hpwninat0r]

because then everything would be blocking unless you specifically configure it not to block... imagine if a leaf falls and passes between you and the treasure chest. even worse, what happens if your arm is now suddenly blocking? it doesn't have the interface so nothing happens, but the obstruction also blocks the trace so the object with the interface isn't even tested by the trace - nothing happens and the user thinks their mouse is broken.

[@gamerdweebentertainment1616]

@@t3hpwninat0r hmmm so I can't use trace if I'd need to interact multiple items same time?

[@t3hpwninat0r]

@@gamerdweebentertainment1616 you can if you set it to overlap - that's like a block because the trace makes a hit, but also like an ignore because the trace continues and can make another hit. imagine it like a laser beam with a choice of transparent, semi-transparent, and opaque objects in front. if you decide to make EVERYTHING overlap you're gonna have big perfomance hit because it's basically doing another trace after hitting something with overlap.

[@t3hpwninat0r]

i should probably clarify why traces are good for your game but too many traces is bad for performance and the wrong type of trace is even worse. lets say you have a trace from your crosshair to see where you're pointing your gun. that's good. it's tracing on tick and your fps hasn't changed. now change the collision type to overlap on a window and block on a wooden table. if you look through a window with a laser sight on your gun - you can see the laser on the glass and on the table on the other side of the window. 1 trace on tick is now 2 traces in the engine. you might think that's fine but you still must be careful because it grows exponentially. now lets say you're in a multiplayer FPS with 16 players. each one has a trace for their gun. they have traces for each foot so they can stand on uneven ground without their feet going through the floor. they also have a capsule/sphere trace for checking obstructions (can't pass through a wall). just those things would be 16 x 4 = 64. You're doing 64 traces on tick already. now if everybody shoots at a bar full of glass bottles where a bunch of things have ignore, overlap or block, how many traces is that? way more than 64. what if you had everything set to overlap and you want to be able to shoot something 1 mile away? 1 mile long trace hitting everything along the way? and only each time a bullet is fired? your CPU usage is gonna spike up and down like mad, and if it's replicated your network usage is gonna be crazy too! good luck trying to optimise one object at a time :S

[@joycelangman]

Honestly, after working with this system I think block by default might be better. Otherwise you would need to manually set every door, wall, floor, etc to block because without it, you can just grab items through walls and stuff. There's a setting to have line trace ignore self (which is on by default) and the ability to add actors to an array to ignore. For the few things you might need to be completely ignored, like the leaf example, you would just override the default. Obvioiusly every project is different, but if you're going into a building of any sort, especially one made out of a lot of meshes... it get's pretty bad, pretty quick.

Great tutorial, thank you very much.

Although only one of them was the one who saw the object. What do I need so that "Look At" is only called by the unique player who saw the object?

[@ImmotileEpidemic]

I'm not sure if you figured out an answer to this, but I think if you add a custom event, click on it, and change replicates to "Run on owning client", that should make it so only the person looking at it can activate it, then hook up the "Look At" function to the custom event you created. Then, instead of using the "Look At" function in the "Interaction Trace", you just call the custom event you created. I'm pretty sure that should fix the problem.

Hey all, I'm trying to implement this and am absolutely scratching my head with one issue. I get an error message when playing as Client that it can't access the Player Camera Manager (while trying to do the Interaction Trace). I guess this makes sense because the InventorySystemComponent we created doesn't innately know who owns it? Essentially there's no reference to WHICH player camera manager we should access. How can we set/find the player index within that InteractionTrace function? FYI: The error message says: "Accessed None trying to read property 'K2Node_DynamicCast_AsPlayer_CameraManager,' Node: Line Trace By Channel... " and so on. I tried doing a Get Owner -> Cast to PlayerCameraManager (pure cast) -> Get Actor Location / Actor Forward Vector. Doesn't seem to work.

[@quinnpurcell]

Some additional notes: the problems doesn't appear on the Server side and when playing Standalone. When I do the "Play As Listen Server" an interesting thing happens... When playing in the Client window, my interact (bound to left click) fires on both the Client and Server. Like not in the sense that it's working correctly and that the item was spawned/interacted with, but the Input Action of clicking fires for both... Is that just an editor playing issue or something with replication..?? Ryan your tutorials are so great btw; long-time subscriber!

realy enjoying your tutorial series, but i have one question, so im trying to use this and chaning to my needs, im doing on top down click to move project, and i want it to do all its doing on the tutorial, but only show the message for those items i have my mouse cursor on top, exactly like you done here if in range and so, but only when mouse cursor is on top. any tips?

[@WORMYandFRIENDS]

no matter what i try i can't get it to work with third person :( ive tried what other commenters suggested but it didnt work. i have very little experience with blueprints so im not having much luck figuring it out on my own

[@MaxyBlack]

I'm not fully convinced that logic for interactions should be in inventory component.

[@mattshroom33]

Just an FYI to anyone who was starting with 3rd person. I made a 1st person camera with another ray trace line and crosshair widget; and thought the camera manager was not obeying the enable\disable toggle for cameras causing a duplicate print screen text to show up. It was actually just a 2nd BP_character I had on the level scene. Deleted the 2nd dude using the same blueprint and solved the issue.

[@Arch_Mage403]

If I wanted to use this for a third person character, what would have to change for the line trace channel to work properly? If you use it for a third person character the way it is in the video, the trace only picks up objects in front of you if you look up.

[@Arch_Mage403]

I figured it out. kind of. Instead of using "get actor location", you simply switch it with a "get camera location". It's as easy as that. almost. sadly, it seems to have a problem with accurately finding the y location of an object. I have to look up a bit in order to detect the box.

[@beckiefletcher4321]

I have a third and first person perspective before linetrace I have a is active on the default camera then depending on if it's active or not do the linetrace perspectively by changing the camera actor I get world location of the camera get world rotation of it get forward vector off rotation timesed by trace distance added to world location for end world location directly to start trace

[@Rehd66]

All I changed was instead of that camera management first node, I used 'Get Player Character' That's it

my first item worked but i cant seem to see my second item

[@bellisperennissturdivant]

well now i figured out that for some reason i cant only use the look at function with the original static mesh i made it with, despite the fact there are no references in the functions to the specific static mesh

[@Foolsjoker]

@@bellisperennissturdivant Did you ever find an answer for this? I am stuck at replicating this for multiple items.

[@EntertheSasman]

@@Foolsjoker 9:21 He explains it here. Had the same issue with other items not functioning and I just simply didn't have the collision property set correctly.

[@Foolsjoker]

@@EntertheSasman Thanks, appreciate ya!

[@middnight1234]

why wouldnt you put this in 3th person character BP?

[@tanver3d982]

Change the interaction range value to above 500 to get the sphere trace to reach the object

[@bradleymiley1322]

Thanks

[@AlexWalker_Ghost]

Found out what i did wrong XD i Typed * insted of + like you did to add the thing, so i added the wrong item to the Blueprint :D RIP. fixed now tough

This Script doesn't do anything, ive rewatched over and over, i did everything the same. May be version differences, idk but at this point I have to move on, so I'm going to any other guide on trace interactions.

(First!) Can you please make a new updated survival game tutorial with oxygen and swimming, with building like Ark Survival Evolved, crafting like Ark Survival Evolved, inventory like Ark Survival Evolved, creatures, monsters, vehicles (mech, helicopter, bike, car, boat, submarine, large land and water and air vehicles that can be mobile bases) character creator like Ark Survival Evolved, taming like Ark Survival Evolved, everything in the older version of your survival tutorial, more types of survival like (Subnautica, Ark Survival Evolved, 7 Days to Die, Rust, Island Survival, Raft), Pets and Tames like Ark Survival Evolved where some need saddle and some do need saddle and some can do both, levelling games and player like Ark Survival Evolved, basically a game like Ark Survival Evolved! Please and thank you, if you read this far thank you! Please Consider doing this!

[@coldkillor]

like Ark Survival Evolved?

Bro, you good?

[@daliendaan]

Why do you always skip the really important _ in between Name indicator and the name itself. That’s really lazy and just dirty work, you should try to implement this into your workflow.

[@originalclassic7603]

Weird. this Video Broke my AI System and also hides the AI Character in Preview and only shows him if i play. the AI wont move anymore ^^

[@orccomputers2145]

i wouldnt use ryans code if i were u guys..... i spent hours fixing his last system and this ones no better.

[@Schubertyi]

And why do you say that?

[@TheFlyingEpergne]

I agree, not really sure what the difference between the two systems is honestly. It's fine to use as a reference or just to see another way of doing it but definitely don't use it with the intention of integrating it into other systems

[@orccomputers2145]

@@Schubertyi cause i spent hours fixing his system last time... and on my next project i used other peoples tuts and had no issues. I just don't feel like its a good way to start knowing all the issues with it. but u are free to disagree.

This stuff is tough. While I understand each thing as I do it, the fact that there are so many components that interact with each other is what throws me off a lot
