you know anything about getting

[covert rapids]

will be less messy for others

[polar acorn]

oh ok

#blueprint message

this

is where you would put it

[polar acorn]

actually you don't this bind event event stuff

you can just get item directly from the component

like you did

[polar acorn]

what bp is this in ?

[covert rapids]

i mean just doean't make sence

i want the information of my event dispacther

not that

[polar acorn]

why are you binding again ?

[covert rapids]

This can be liek 100 in the world

[polar acorn]

is this bp item ?

[covert rapids]

a sec ill explain

[polar acorn]

^ also this if it is it's completely wrong, just pull out of the return value of get component of class and call the event

it will trigger whatever you bound

[covert rapids]

the goal isn't just the event but getting the information

[polar acorn]

for one thing you don't need the event

[covert rapids]

BP_item have this inside of him

[polar acorn]

inside of what bp ?

[covert rapids]

BP_item

thats his info like name

i have child of this one where i just change the text

[polar acorn]

slow down

your making this way more complicated then it is

it's a simple process tbh

if you have a variable on a component

you can access it

[covert rapids]

i don;t care about my com XD

[polar acorn]

like this, but don't bind, you already are accessing the item reference

you have the item

[covert rapids]

item isn't a comp

[polar acorn]

now just drag out and get the variable

[covert rapids]

the bp item is this

a literal actor in scene

0 relation with the comp in my player currently

[polar acorn]

and is the reference to item in the player controller component set to that item ?

[covert rapids]

controller own the comp that should have it

now the thing is

this item i can have 100 of those

[polar acorn]

but the reference on your component stores one at a time

unless you have an array

[covert rapids]

yes

it is ok 1 at a time

[polar acorn]

are you new to blueprints ?

i feel like yes

[covert rapids]

been doing for the past year

but no class

so give or take if what i learn is good XD

[polar acorn]

i can't keep repeating myself, if you set the value item on the component

then when you drag out of the return value of get component of class, thats connected to the player controller

there you have the reference to whatever item you set in your player controller on that variable

it's really simple

get player controller -> get component by class -> get variable

and there you have the reference

item is then whatever you have set in that component, in that variable

so if you had 10000 of them

if you can only have one selected at a time

when you get this variable

it will be whatever one you have set

idk why you added bind i didn't say anything about that

you don't need any events for this

[polar acorn]

ok so if you want to get this particular items info, i would set the reference in your component

then you can just get the reference like i'm talking about, and get all the data on that item

you can drag out from the reference, and get the item info variable np

[covert rapids]

but i can't set it

[polar acorn]

when do you want to set it ?

are you picking things up ?

or are you scrolling through them or what is happening that you need this item reference ?

i see it's labeled inventory, so you may want array of all the items you currently have

[covert rapids]

nonon

i don't have it i want it

to add

[polar acorn]

well if you want to get just that single item

you can get actor of class

as long as there is only one in the scene

[covert rapids]

thats what i dont want lol

what ive been saying XD

[polar acorn]

wdym

your trying to avoid get actor of class ?

[covert rapids]

yes

just dont want to do a snece swipe each time

[polar acorn]

well are these items spawned or placed in the level before hand

[covert rapids]

can be both

[polar acorn]

personally...

i would parent them all to a parent class

and get all actors of class

[covert rapids]

done

[polar acorn]

so you have an array of them

[covert rapids]

bp_item is a parent XD

sowrd is a child

[polar acorn]

unfortuantely what your trying to avoid is pretty difficult

[covert rapids]

a fuck XD

been on this for 8h lol

[polar acorn]

ya sometimes get actor of class is the answer

especially if this is dynamic stuff

you have no way of getting a reference otherwise

unless you interact it

[covert rapids]

i have a interaction set up wiht them

[polar acorn]

ok so once you do that

you can get the reference

[covert rapids]

and inside the item parent i have this

[polar acorn]

when do you want the information about the sword ?

[covert rapids]

this is the event that trigger when i interrract or press the key

[polar acorn]

so then i'm hoping if it's set up right, you can drag out of interactable, cast to the parent if it's not that already, and get the variables

[covert rapids]

that is the item so i wont try to get itself

[polar acorn]

so do you know what i mean by "drag out from" and what that is ?

[polar acorn]

"so it wont try to get itself" <-- idk what this means

if you drag out from interactable, and cast to bp item (if it's not already set to that)

[covert rapids]

interacteble thst inside the item

and interactor is inside player controller

all inside BP_item

sound on the good track?

[polar acorn]

#blueprint message

[polar acorn]

so now you have the item data for whatever you have interacted with on the player controller inside a component

so when you interact with any item, you will pass that variable onto that component

[covert rapids]

ya iam adding a trigget for print text to see

fk yea

work

i think

some light after all this

tank you
