Creating An Inventory System And Interaction System In Unreal Engine 5.4 | Episode 01

"Creating an Inventory System and Interaction System in Unreal Engine 5.4 | Episode 01" Today, I wanted to start a new series I've been working on for a while. This marks the first episode in which we go over how to start conceptualizing and building out the framework for an interaction and inventory system that we can use as a starting point in any and all of our projects moving forward. My hope for this series is that it will be the last interaction/inventory system you ever build as the one we put together can just be moved to any project it's needed in. My plan with this series is to ultimately conceptualize and create all the systems necessary for us to make a complete game. We'll do this by keeping modularity and scalability at the forefront of our concepts and planning, starting with the interaction/inventory system. This episode, and series in general, is more suitable for intermediate/advanced Unreal Engine users, but I have no doubt a complete beginner can follow along without any problems.
