I'll show you how to build a basic inventory system so your player character can "pick up" and "drop" items in your Unreal Engine 5 game. This basic setup includes support for allowing multiples of the same item to "stack" in the same inventory slot.

Great tutorial I've got this working for the most part but the item icon does not show in the inventory box when I pick up the item, any ideas? I've set the image for the item but just can't see it, cheers! *edit* I have noticed that in the Event Graph of the W-pickupitem my 'eye' is closed for ItemButton, IconText and ItemImage, when I attempt to expose the eye I get 'variable is not field notify. Enable this to broadcast changes' and I'm not able to click on them :/

How do i make the parent BP's static mesh follow the static mesh as it falls around? In mine the collider for the pick up stays static and doesnt simulate physics with the models thats falling around. So i cant see the spot to pick up and and if i go over the model nothing happen until i find where the collider spawned as i dropped the item.

When you drop your objects, do they separate from their Overlap Sphere? Whenever I use physics my objects end up breaking apart, the meshes going mostly where I expect and everything else just saying where first spawned.

The first one still shows the number that I've picked up, but then it just has multiple potion icon images showing on the screen too. Any ideas where I messed up? I've tried rewatching the video but can't seem to find it.

The drop item, spawning actors to simulate the drop is a bad idea, you should avoid spawning things like this in the middle of the game for the sake of performance. Ideally you would create all possible items while level loads, then when pick up, just keep the reference inside your inventory and make it hidden. Then when dropping it, simply make it visible again and apply the impulse that you did. The add impulse was nice, i'm stealing that xd
