Setting up classes<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n


We can setup what stats each class has and what starting items a certain class gets. In order to do that open DT_ClassSetups<\/strong> data table it should be in Character\/Blueprints\/Lobby\/ClassSetups in here you can setup your classes however you want by indicating their stats, inventory starting items etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Setting up Character Blueprint Class by Race and Gender<\/strong>
Navigate to Character>Blueprints>Lobby>ClassSetups and open DT_RaceSetup data table, inside we have 5 race examples setup, you can see in the CharcaterClassByGender setup we indicate the character class blueprint that should spawn based on Race and gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inside Character_Races folder you will find child classes of BP_ARPG_Character<\/strong> each race folder has 2 child classes representing 2 genders, simply open each child class and modify the skeletal mesh and animation blueprint. These child classes are what we indicated in the DT_RaceSetup <\/strong>data table so you can spawn with a specific blueprint class depending on your race and gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As you might already know there are 2 modes, Top down and third person and to select which mode you want to use you can open the BP_ARPG_PlayerController <\/strong>and set it after selecting the inventory component, you can also set the class however you can also use the character creator and load the game with your character class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create New Pickups<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We use data tables to create and organize pickups, data tables are a great way to modify multiple pickups in one place and we can create as many data tables as we need if you like to organize pickups by category.
Inside InventorySystem folder you will find multiple data tables you can either duplicate one of them and clear its content or use one to create a new pickup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Let’s take a look at how a weapon is created by opening the data table DT_EWeapons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ItemID:<\/strong> Pick a unique item ID and make sure Row name is the same as ItemID this is very important.
Actor class:<\/strong> This is the pickup version that you pickup off the ground, this is not the blueprint that gets equipped it only servers as something you see on the ground to be picked up, ActorClass is based on BP_MainPickupClass<\/strong> so when creating a new pickup either create a child class based on it or duplicate an existing pickup.
Open your new pickup select the PickupComponent <\/strong>then indicate the data table where the pickup exists and the itemID, for example here we have ItemID = Axe and we indicated the weapon data table, and of course change the visual side of things using the skeletal mesh component, and finally the box extent setting of the Box collision. If your pickup is a static mesh you can create a child class out of BP_MainPickupClass_SM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Type:<\/strong> This depends on if the pickup is an equipment, if the pickup is a weapon that can be equipped to primary and\/or secondary then select Primary as the type, Shield for example we indicated Secondary as the type etc If the item is a consumable select consumable. You can always take a look at how we set certain pickups and do the same.
Equipment Type: <\/strong>This is where you set if the item is one handed, two handed or none.
EquipTo: <\/strong>This is where you indicate what slots the item can be equipped to, for example Shield can only be equipped to secondary whereas Axe can be equipped to Primary and secondary.
Supported Classes:<\/strong> Indicate all the classes that can equip the item or set all for all classes.
EquipToMainHandSocket and offhand:<\/strong> Indicate where an item should be attached if it’s an equipment.
EquipmentToEquip:<\/strong> This is the actual blueprint that gets equipped to the character, it is based on BP_MainEquipment <\/strong>this should also work for cloth types.

For the rest of settings it’s straight forward you can take a look at how other pickups are set and learn from it or do the same, we will talk about equipment mods later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
