Introduction

• This plugin was created for an open-world game that had very strict performance requirements. Because of this, most logic is handled in C++ and only minor , designer-based things are handled in Blueprint. The design architecture is also designed to give programmers more control of when widgets and data is initialized to not just optimize memory, but also reduce lag spikes. The architecture has also been made in mind for large-scale projects by providing useful editor tools.

• The architecture was made with designers in mind, so certain C++ functions can be overridden in Blueprints and some functions are only needed on the Blueprint level. This system is not meant to be purely C++ or Blueprints, rather a healthy mix of the two. If you can't write in C++ or don't have access to anyone who can write C++ code for you, the current functions should allow for you to create nearly any Blueprint logic you should need.

• The plugin was designed to be installed locally to your project, not the engine.

• Many things have been designed to be as abstract as possible and assume as little as possible about YOUR project and creation process. I do not want to dictate any creative vision and I do not want to step on any toes. I’ve tried to keep the system as painless as possible for you to integrate YOUR systems and assets with this inventory system, such as an attribute, ability or crafting system. Even though some of those things are provided out of the box, every project is unique and has specific requirements that you may have already solved.
