Basic BLUEPRINT inventory

Author's Note

Disclaimer: This tutorial assumes some basic to intermediate knowledge about Blueprints. If you have problems following along, I recommend watching Epic's videos on the subject.

This tutorial is an adaptation from G-Rath's and alvarofer0020's Inventory system for C++. I only looked at their works and made my own in pure blueprint, for those that don't know or don't want to use C++.

Introduction

• Making the item class
• Picking up and dropping items
• Storing and retrieving the items in an inventory
• Expansions and tips
