The ItemManager plugin oofers a solution for managing items within your game environement. This versatile toolset simplifies the implementation of various item-related functionalities, including drop, collect, and switch, while providing developers with a suite of customization.

The ItemManager component allows your actor to interact with the all ItemManager system. The component privides you customization such as :

• Loop switching

• Add an empty item by default

• Allows duplicates

• Item limit.

The component brings some functions to use the manager, add item, switch next/previous/index item, drop item, and use item.

The ItemParent class allows you to create custom item that can be used by the ItemManager. The class provides you parameters :

• Skeletal mesh component

• Friendly name

• Attach socket

• Detach socket

• Time before item despawn

• Time before item spawn

• Is item dropable

• Can use item

• Can collect item

• Can switch

• Auto equipped when collected

• Despawn item when switched

The class also brings you a OnItemUsed and CannotUseItem event (both in blueprint and C++). these functions need to be overrided if they are used in C++.

The ItemCollectable class needs to be placed in the world, its used to have a collectable item (only actor with the ItemManager component can collect those).

This class comes with a lot of customization :

• ItemParent subclass (item that is intended to be collected)

• Custom Trigger box size

• Item display

• Grounded : Will snap your item to the nearest ground and attach the item to it.

• Animated : Will activate an animation

• Physics : Will activate physics on the item

Grounded properties

• Adjusted rotation (allows you to add rotation to the mesh only)

• Invert mesh rotation (allows you to add 180° to the mesh rotation)

Animation properties

• Height

• Height speed

• Rotation speed

• Enable collisions ( must have a physics asset in your skeletal mesh)

• Enable transparency ( allows you to see items through walls)

• Enable outline ( the outline will apear when actor (only with ItemManager Component) overlapped the trigger box)

• Outline material (by default, the plugin has a outline material, but you can change it)
