How to Setup Inventory

How to setup Inventory Manager.

Attach Inventory Manager to GameState used with GameMode.

C++

.h

In the protected section (this is not necessary, however, I suggest placing the Variable in the protected section) add this line:

UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, BlueprintReadOnly, Category="Inventory") class UInventoryManagerComponent* InventoryManager = nullptr;

.cpp

In C++ Constructor of your GameState class add those lines: InventoryManager = CreateDefaultSubobject<UInventoryManagerComponent>(TEXT("InventoryManagerComponent"));

You will need to add header include in the top, where other includes are: #include "Components/InventoryManagerComponent.h"

Blueprint

Adding a new Component in Blueprint is faster and easier. Open your GameState class, select Add Component and find Inventory Manager Component.
