Q & A

在Unreal Engine 5中，如何开始构建装备系统？

首先，需要创建一个新的文件夹来组织装备系统相关的资源。接着，创建一个结构（Structure）来定义装备的属性，如名称、伤害值、图标、所需等级和装备类型等。然后，创建一个枚举器（Enumerator）来区分不同类型的装备，如近战武器、远程武器、装甲和盾牌。

如何将装备添加到角色的装备槽中？

通过创建一个数据库（DataTable）来存储装备的结构信息，并在角色蓝图中添加一个装备系统组件（Component），该组件可以调用函数来添加装备到装备槽数组中。

在Unreal Engine 5中，如何实现装备的拾取功能？

通过在玩家输入动作中添加一个交互（Interact）动作，使用线迹（Line Trace）或球体追踪（Sphere Trace）来检测玩家前方的物体。如果检测到装备物品，将其添加到玩家的装备槽数组中，并在世界中销毁该物品实例。

如何通过蓝图创建自定义的装备属性结构？

在Unreal Engine的蓝图编辑器中，右键点击创建新的结构（Structure），并为装备定义所需的属性，如名称（String类型）、伤害（Float类型）、所需等级（Integer类型）等。

在装备系统中，如何使用数据表来管理多种装备？

创建一个数据表（DataTable），并选择之前创建的装备结构作为其数据类型。在数据表中添加不同的装备项，每个装备项都有其独特的属性值，如名称、伤害、图标等。

如何将装备模型添加到角色上？

通过在装备的蓝图类中添加静态网格组件（Static Mesh Component），并使用数据表中对应的装备项来动态设置该静态网格组件的模型。

在装备系统中，如何实现装备类型的分类？

通过创建一个枚举器（Enumerator），定义不同的装备类型，如近战武器、远程武器、装甲和盾牌。然后在装备的结构中添加一个类型字段，使用这个枚举器来限制装备只能装备到对应的槽位中。

如何通过蓝图动态改变装备的图标和模型？

在装备的蓝图中，使用数据表行获取（Get Row）节点来动态获取装备的属性，包括图标和静态网格模型。然后，将这些属性应用到相应的UI元素和角色模型上。

在Unreal Engine 5中，如何实现装备的拾取并添加到玩家的背包中？

创建一个用于拾取装备的自定义输入动作，然后在玩家蓝图中使用追踪（Trace）来检测玩家前方的装备。当玩家按下拾取键时，检测到的装备将被添加到玩家的装备槽数组中，并通过调用装备系统组件的添加装备函数来实现。

如何在游戏中调试并查看玩家当前拥有的装备？

在玩家蓝图中添加一个自定义事件，如按键H触发的事件，用来遍历装备槽数组并打印出每个装备的详细信息，从而实现在游戏中的调试查看。

在装备系统中，如何简化装备的管理和自定义？

通过使用数据表和结构体来定义装备的属性，可以轻松地添加、修改或删除装备。所有的装备信息都存储在一个集中的数据库中，使得管理和自定义过程更加高效和有序。

Transcripts

what's up guys welcome to new Unreal

Engine 5 tutorial and today we are

continuing with the RPG Series today we

will finally begin with the equipment

system we'll begin to structure all the

database and so on make a peekable item

that we can add into our inventory and

with the next couple of episodes we'll

be implementing the UI slots and so on

it's going to be a very easy video to

follow so let's get started

alright so first of all let me show you

a bit on how the equipment system will

be structured so of course it will take

again an inspiration from Assassin's

Creed Origins as you can see we will

have the character in the middle and

then we'll have a few slots that we can

equip our weapon okay or item in general

like armor shield and so on okay so as

you can see this is pretty much the

reference image now we'll probably

simplify a bit more instead of having

two range and two Amelia we may have

just one of each and then have it on

this side so Malay shield and then armor

and Rings something like that so

probably simplify a bit but of course

this is totally customizable you can

change it however you want but of course

this is how the RPG series will be based

now in terms of structure it's pretty

you know self-explanatory once you open

the the slot you have a list of all the

items that you have in your inventory so

you can go ahead and just equip it so

today we'll like I just mentioned before

in the intro we will just begin making

the database Destructor and adding some

some weapons and then also going ahead

and making the applicable items so they

can go ahead and pick it up and add it

into our inventor okay

so with no more information let's go

ahead and get started so let's go into

unrue engine and the first thing that

we're going to do is go ahead and create

a new folder so we can have everything a

bit more organized so let's go ahead and

right click new folder and this will be

the equipment uh system okay let's go

ahead and open it up and now the first

thing that we have to do is create a

structure so if we right click and go uh

into blueprints you will see that we

have a structure okay so we go ahead and

select it we can name this as underscore

weapons now if you want to make it more

General and in the future also be able

to equip uh different types of um now

weapons but maybe items in general for

example

um I don't know I mean honestly we're

gonna also be adding Shields and armor

under Destructor so it might not really

in the future make sense on you know on

eBay called weapons so if you want you

can really just put it as items okay but

for me I'm gonna basically leave it as

Weapons as I think it will just be a

clearer a name for for a structure in

general so go ahead and open it

and down here what we can do is put all

different parameters that each weapon

will have so in our case let's begin

with the first parameter which will be

the name of the item itself so this will

be called name and this will be a type

of string because this is just basically

text let's add another variable and in

the second one will have the damage so

basically the damage that this weapon

will do in this case we'll go ahead and

put a float let's do another variable

the next one will go ahead and a b let's

say the required level to equip it

so required level and this will be an

integer and then let's do the icon so

the icon that later on the UI will

display so the icon will go ahead and be

a 2d texture so texture to the optic

reference there we go let's add another

variable and this will be the static

mesh okay this will actually be the

model itself that will add into the

character later on so this will be a

static mesh

reference and then finally we will have

a type okay and you will see what what

do you mean with type well the thing is

there there will be in a specific slot

for

um melee or mainly I don't know how you

spell in English but another weapon and

another one from ranged another one for

um armor and then another one for

Shields

okay so you will not be able to equip

for example The Sword in the ranged or

in the shield slide you know what I mean

so we're a bit more structure so what we

have to do here is create an enumerator

so basically let me show you what is an

enumerator just right click and I

believe it was in there under

miscellaneous

uh was it here

let me just go ahead and type it so you

can just go into whatever part on the

pop-up and just type enumerator

okay enumeration is under blueprints

okay so we can just go into Blueprints

and enumeration I didn't remember what

it was anyway we can just name this e

underscore and really weapon types yeah

weapon underscore types

there we go and weapon types okay and

now we can open this and on here what we

can do is start adding just three types

so we can add any numerator and this

will be and let's say and

uh melee weapons

okay then we'll add another enumerator

this will be range weapons

and let's say that we're gonna add

another one which will be for the armor

and there were another one which will be

for the uh what was the shields

so shoots okay so now we can save this

and close it so now back in our

structure we can put the type to be the

um e underscore weapon types that we

have just created

that's another score

weapon types there we go

and now we can select it so now later on

here you will see that for each so this

will be like for example the values that

will appear for each weapon okay

individually so we'll fill up the name

the damage the icon and so on and then

you can see this is the thing that does

the enumerator we can go ahead and just

have a drop down of all the options that

we'll have so right now these are the

default values so we will just leave it

like that anyway so now we can close

this and save it

and what we have to do is create another

um another

structure okay and you'll be okay

another one yes okay this might add a

bit of confusion into it but we will

have another uh structure into it let's

go again into Blueprints and it's going

to be structure and this will be called

s underscore slots

and let's open this structure over here

and basically this structure will just

have an item okay this will be called

item and this will be a data table row

handle and you will see later on why we

are making this but basically when we

create our P cable item and also later

on in the slots reference we can use

directly reference a single parameter

and then there from there start breaking

the the values into our whole icon name

damage Etc so it's just making things

more organized as we will only have one

parameter later on

for each weapon okay so you will see

later on how it basically goes ahead and

works but anyway so what we have to do

right now is create a database for our

weapons just right click and we go into

uh now yes miscellaneous there's gonna

be a data table okay so now we need to

pick the structure and in this case

we'll be basically the S weapons okay

not the SLS okay it will be S weapons

let's say okay and now it's gonna be DB

for database underscore weapons let's go

ahead and open this one up so now

basically we can start adding our items

so let's add the first one let's go

ahead and separate this a bit so we have

it a bit more organized you know

so it's a bit better let's just put this

over here there we go okay so first of

all let's change the row name and this

will be basically uh the first item that

we will have in our case it will be a

simple source so I'm just gonna call

this a sort which is pretty much I think

that the one that you're gonna start

it's gonna be light sword and it just

said that it's not valid because we

can't have any spaces so we have to put

an underscore so that's the row name and

that's different from the name in the

parameters now we have to put again a

light short on here so that's always a

different thing so on damage we can put

for example let's say 10 for now the

values of damage and require level do

you know fill it up with actual balance

in the future

once we have to start leveling the game

but for now it's just kind of to range

itself let's say the required level is

and zero because I mean this the weapon

that you will start with so you can

start with level zero and then icon for

now let's just put for example this one

over here in the future of course it

will have proper icons and in second

mesh we actually have our weapon sorry

our sword so we can just go ahead and

select it and then types well it will be

melee weapons great so now we can add

another one and this will be basically

it says we will have a heavy sword again

again heavy sword and the Damage will be

well let's say double 20 but the

required level will be let's say five

the icon let's put for example this

green guy and starting mesh we don't

have anything so let's put it for

example this sphere over here and again

it will be metal weapons let's add one

last one which will be basically the

um bow so basically wooden say one bow

again wooden bow on the name on the

damage let's say the each of the arrow

will be will be adding five the required

level will be two the icon will be let's

say uh this one is like an aim for the

arc it's perfect and then let's say that

it will be a cone and that will be under

the range weapon so you can see how you

can start adding weapons and how the

flow will start to build up so it will

basically be like this okay so slowly

you will be able to feel your weapon so

we have you started with three just do

go ahead and start up alright so now

that we have our database instructors

created with some value design it is

time to actually create the item that

will basically pick up from the tour now

of course later in the future we'll add

the option that it will not be necessary

to have it in the floor and pick it up

manually we can just you know when we

finish a quest we can use edit or

whatever but for now we're just gonna go

ahead and just place it in the world so

it's easier for us to you know figure

out how things will work so let's go

ahead and just right click in the folder

and create a new blueprint class and it

will be a nectar because it will just be

placed in the world this will be BP

underscore weapon let's go ahead and

open this up great so the first thing

that we will add into it will be

basically a static mesh so on here

static mesh of course later on we will

apply the one that will be in our

database

so the next thing that we have to do is

create a new variable and this will be

the I10 data so now we compile and

select it we can go and change the

variable type and this will be S slots

so yeah the one that the second one that

we created okay

the one they're probably confused a lot

of you guys anyway let's go and put

instance edit tool and expose the spawn

so basically when we will add it into

the world we can use select it and

change the parameter over there you know

what I mean anyway let's go back into

the weapon and now we can open up the

data and the data table will be

basically the DB weapons and then the

row name well this will basically be

assigned uh later on so basically from

our we select an item we'll be able to

pick it up and select it so for now

let's just say it's going to be our

heavy sword so basically this is how you

will select which item it is okay so now

that we have our 18 data variable

created we need to do is go ahead and

assign this static mesh so what I'm

going to do is go into the construction

script and basically this will always

run also in the editor so not only when

we are basically going ahead and playing

the game when we press play but also

when we are just working in editor so it

is more convenient for us to see already

the changes when we are editing the

world

so we need to do is get an 8 and data

and go ahead and split it two times now

probably you didn't really know what

just happened there but let me just

explain it with a few notes so we get it

and go ahead and call the break slots

basically we are accessing the item so

if you can see if we go into slots we

only have one parameter in this case we

are going ahead and breaking and

accessing that specific property

so now we can go ahead and break it

again and we'll be able to access it at

a table

so we are doing this with only one node

so it's a bit more convenient for us you

know this is more organized in my

opinion so now we can go ahead and get

the raw get that at the table Row in

singular and plug this in and then plug

in the row name and now we're going to

do is go ahead and break the as a

weapons

now as you can see we'll be able to go

ahead and get all the properties but in

a more organized way because we didn't

have to go ahead because it's just saved

in a nice variable anyway so now we're

going to do is go and get the second

mesh and assign it on here so let's get

the component and then call this a node

which is said static mesh

put it in row found and put the study

mesh over here and now if we compound

save and we go here and we get our

weapon and drag it into the scene

you will see in some moments

please load there we go it will update

as you can see right now it is selecting

the sphere because I have the heavy

sword and it's what I have basically on

the database as you can see but if I

were to go ahead and change it to the

light server

here you can see that now we have the

sword so basically it's going ahead and

it's working and it's going ahead and

depending on the item that we are

selecting it is assigning the start

image that we had so everything is

really cool it's just going ahead and

saved in a single database so we can

change whatever values on here and

depending on the weapon type it will go

ahead and automatically apply all the

changes so it is extremely modular and

very useful for us which is exactly what

we want so now let's go ahead and make

that we can go ahead and pick these

weapons and add it into our inventory

list so later on in the future when we

make the other episodes and start with

the UI we can go ahead and open these

slots and find all the weapons that we

have in inventory and be able to drag

them and assign them and so on so let's

go and create a new blueprint component

so let's go into blueprint class it will

be an actual component basically like we

did with this test system and also the

attack system we'll just add this

component into our player blueprint so

it's a bit more organized this will be

bpc equipment system

let's go ahead and open this up

great so now we need to do on here is

create a new function and let's say that

this will be basically add a weapon okay

so now over here what we can do is

create a new variable and this will be

basically

um in general weapon slots okay so we'll

be able if I put the deal like this

we'll be able to go ahead and assign

these slots over there

so what we need to do here is change the

variable type to be S slots again

and then in this case it will be an

array if you don't know what an array is

it's basically a list of of items so in

case we have a list of s slots okay

you can compile and you can see that we

can start adding them on here but of

course we won't add them manually it

will be depending on which ones we pick

in the inventory

so what we can do right now is get the

weapon slots and basically go ahead and

call this function which will add an

item and here you're gonna say well

which item do we want to add well it

will it will be the one that we get as

an input so let's go ahead and hover and

it will create a new input and this will

be yes the uh the new item there we go

that's the item that we want to go ahead

and and add so there we go so now you

can compile and save now let's go ahead

and make a quick uh implementation here

and it's going ahead and you know being

able to uh pick up the weapons okay

so let's go and create a new key for

that so let's go into the third person

input action right click input action

EA underscore pick up

in the future maybe we change actually

yes it's going to be interact okay it

makes more sense to call it interact so

let's say it's going to be basically

interact let's go ahead and open this

and yeah I won't have to do anything

just go back into the collection and now

we can go ahead and add it so it was

interact and now we can press this key

and let's say it's going to be the E key

save it

and close it it's now back in here we

can delete these two things and do the

EA underscore interact

it's going with them what the one with

the arrow

and then on here we will be able to find

our items so we want to do is do and

started a sphere trace and let's do by

Channel

okay actually no

uh sphere trace for objects okay

and the starting point will be basically

the camera from the player and so on so

actually I'm going to a DP gameplay

and basically get the owner of this

component

and then go ahead and cast to the third

person catcher so here we'll be able to

access our pens which is the third

person cut blueprint and basically

access the the camera

over here so scroll down and you will

see here it is full camera

so let's go ahead and right click and

promote this to a variable so we have it

as a variable so now

I'm here later on

let's get pick up trace it will be able

to supply our preset so just go ahead

and just get the full camera

use it as a variable so now this will be

the get weld location

okay because I mean we want to go ahead

and as the starting point and then in

default camera gets the rotation and

again the world rotation in this case we

want to get the forward Vector because

we want to get the direction at which

the camera is looking in front of it and

we want to multiply this by right click

over here commit to pin into Float by

the distance so let's say it's going to

be a thousand for now okay we'll be able

to pick up items very far away this kind

of temporary now we'll go ahead and get

the word location and add it with the

direction so now this will give us the

end point the rate is going to be for

example 15 something like that and then

for object types we'll make an array in

this case will be basically uh

was upon both Dynamic Maybe

we'll see which one it is the one that

we want and basically let's say it's

going to be for duration so you can just

spray it real quick and if we have

basically hit something we will go ahead

and break the result

and now we want to do is go ahead and

get the hit actor and cast to the weapon

that we have just created now in this

case I don't think it's necessary to

create an interface because in this case

it's specifically in the equipment

system to only pick up the actual

weapons so for now really there's no

need to create an interface now later on

we will definitely go ahead and increase

and interact interface for other things

like opening doors or whatever if we do

so a test in the future I don't know uh

we'll be seeing but yes for this weapon

type I think it's better just to cast

directly

and that's pretty much it we need to go

ahead and get the um the eight and item

data no item no a Titan there and now

you can just go and get the I add weapon

function

that we just did create and then pass

the new item so it will just go ahead

and add this new item into our inventory

and this should go ahead and work okay

so let's go ahead and add this component

into our player character let's go into

third person Blueprints and open this up

and I'm going to components and add the

bpc underscore equipment system press

enter we don't have to change anything

over here just compile and save and I

can close this and press play so now

we'll press e you can see that we'll be

creating a line Trace to pick up the

items that we have in front well it's a

screw tray so we have like more area to

pick it up it's easier so now if we go

here at least you'll be able to pick it

up as you can see it's detecting the

object so what you need to do is go

ahead and also let's say that we need to

destroy this specific item so let's go

ahead and destroy the actor so we get an

um you know a feeling that we have just

picked up from the floor and we is not

just going ahead and duplicating itself

or something like that and then also

let's go ahead and print uh basically

item gathereds on that item gathered

gathered

I don't know whatever right I use a

print to have feeling that we have paid

that something so now I'm here we can go

and pick it up you can see item gathered

here now let's go ahead and check that

it is actually going ahead and adding

properly

into our uh array of items into our

inventory pretty much I mean you could

really rename this into mentoring but I

just prefer to name a weapon so that's

for now I think it's just more

convenient but let's go ahead and just

add a new custom event

so for example when we press h okay the

bug this basically to just debug it okay

just to see which items we have in the

mentor because right now we don't have

any UI to display it and in this episode

we are not building that so we will go

ahead and just press h and see a list of

all the items that we have real quick uh

of Prince just do us to see if it's

working okay this is just debug type so

we can do is just go ahead and and get

the weapon slots

okay and then do a for each Loop so it

will go ahead and go through all the

array of items and on here we're going

to split it and split it again and we

can just go ahead and print this row

item so we can just go ahead and say

print

and I'll pass this row and now it will

go ahead and print the row now make sure

that like this is just printing the row

not the item property okay so make sure

that you also have assigned the row name

as also the name so this is the the name

as a property and this is the row name

so there are different things but you

have to also name the two so make sure

anyway so now I picked this up and then

press what was H you can see that I have

light sort ordered in the top left

corner let's just go ahead and make the

print

I close the other things uh duration

let's say five and then also if I

duplicate this object and then change

the icon type to be heavy sword for

example and this huge I'm gonna rescale

it

um and then also duplicate this and put

it as the wooden boat and make it a bit

bigger okay you can see that now I can

go ahead and pick up all the different

items over here and then item gather

item gathered and then press

um was H and you can see here wooden bow

heavy sword and light sword so it is

going ahead and working we are being

able to pick up different Isis bullet

floor added to an inventory and then we

we can change it at any time because of

our database and at the table and change

it properties great so if you found it

so helpful a really cheap if you could

like the video and subscribe to my

channel I have lots of Unreal Engine 5

throws so when I go ahead and check them

out go ahead

join my Discord server so you can ask

any questions about the series or in

general about mu engine and show your

progress and your work and so on and

talk with other developers as me and

follow me on my soldiers such as Twitter

and Instagram so yeah in the next

episode then we'll begin with a UI

adding these slots and be able to select

them probably we'll see how it goes

depending on how the episodes last but

with all I said bye bye
