Oh man im glad i found this channel. Thank you so much man. You teach the kind of things no one is covering in UE5. This video would've been extra nice if looting system is also covered haha
If it doesn't work for you : At the Event Begin Play, create the widget and set it up as a variable 'Inventory Widget' but do not add it to viewport. Then, when you'll press "I" to open your inventory, instead of "create widget" or "set visibility", do this : - Flip Flop A --> Add To Viewport (Inventory Widget) --> The same thing as the video - Flip Flop B --> Remove From Parent (Inventory Widget) --> The same thing as the video The widget is already created at the beginning of the game, so you'll just have to open it and close it. It works for me :)
He's teaching methods & programming practices... not UI design. If you can't just attach this logic to any old picture out there then you probably shouldn't be programming. I mean.... not tryina be a dick but programming is literally logic and problem solving........ it requires you to critically think and solve problems, it's literally the point of programming. So again, if you can't critically think and solve problems, then you should save yourself the struggle, turn around, and go learn game design or graphic arts, NOT programming. Do you see the problem here?
Ignoring my previous point, he does all this stuff for free. There's colleges sending people into life long student debt to learn what this man is teaching us *for FREE* So quite honestly, I could care less what clickbait he uses or how he teaches it. Just the fact that hes willing to share the knowledge for free at all is a bloody miracle and all you fools need to learn how to appreciate a blessing when you're given one.
I've been checking out lots of UE5 tutorial channels recently and yours is one of my favorites and one of the best. Your video's are super helpful thanks!
So i've followed all the steps to the letter as far as i can tell and for some reason my item doesn't appear in the slot when i add the item to my inventory. Using 5.3.2 and changed out the E key for on overlap but that shouldn't be the problem.
I know this is old and could have been so many different causes, but in case anyone ever comes looking for this, on mine I'd accidently not connected the WB_Inventorys > Create Widget's "return" Node to the Add Childs "content" Node. I hope that helps someone :)
wow again im glad i ran across this channel the other day. I've gone through so many inventory system tutorials on RUclips that take hours and end up being broken and useless. At least with your videos we can learn and experiment after!
@@Yuguta420 Tutorials are about telling you how to do this and that so i don't see your argument lmfao. It says SIMPLE, if you want more then look for something advanced. Half the comment section here be buying a snickers and complaining it's not an entire meal.
I'm getting "Accessed None trying to read property VerticalBox" when I try to add the item slot to the inventory list. However I can add the item slot just fine to the viewport. Can anyone help? Thanks
you could add another property to the UI slot apart from the string, an amount. So when you add a new item it would detect if the string already exists in the inventory, and instead of adding a new slot, update the old slot`s amount
play the videos at half speed, he runs through important details too quickly and sometimes forgets to mention processes, so you'll have to watch the video closely and watch his mouse movements because he doesn't clearly define when he is switching from one tab to another. i literally have to watch the video multiple times and at slow speed, pausing often, to milk the information i need from the actual content. its all over the place in some cases, but we cant complain because we cant learn this from many other sources unless you want to spend hundreds on books and online courses....😅😅😅
@@goldlion5132@killxu6633 I ran into this issue too and figured it out: When you promote the Inventory Widget to variable it likely made it a generic Widget Blueprint. Go to the list of variables in the character BP, find the InventoryWidget variable, and set the type to WB_Inventory.
Hey, I'm using UE 5.3, and at 16:50 im getting an error when hooking up my inventory widget to the Add Item To List UI event. "User Widget object reference is not compatible." Any possible fix for this?
some reason when i duplicate my actor they are still doing things simultaneously meaning when i do something on one of them then the same happens on the other, any idea of how to fix that? Also i cannot rename the actor once duplicated, is there something i don't know?
You shouldn't duplicate the actor but rather make a child blueprint. That way you can change the values per child because if you duplicate it's going to mess with all the duplicates. Make sure that you have the settings that you want set to being able to alter when inherited and it should work. Good luck!
Hello my friend, first sorry for the english, I'm using google translator, I'm very happy and grateful for your tutorial, but I would like to know how I can save the inventory offline, so when the player leaves and enters the game again his items are there.
Thanks! No worries, yeah so I actually have a tutorial on how to save/ load your game! ruclips.net/video/14wmGdbhLOA/видео.html If you have any problems integrating it with the inventory system, let me know!
Hello great tutorial!! i am just having one issue right around the 14:00 minute mark. i have followed these steps and the item is in my inventory just once and if i close it and open it again, the item is no longer listed. (i am assuming this is due to a minor difference in UE versions since this video has been posted. if anyone has a solution please let me know! id be happy to show my BP if anyone more experienced would like to take a look. Thanks!)
Thanks for the tutorial! Instead of having 5 different Wood strings in my inventory, how would I go about setting it up to have a number next to the item? Also, how would I go about giving each item a different mesh? Would I make copies of BP_Item (the cube mesh actor) and just change the meshes and names and thats that, or do I have to repeat a good chunk of this process?
I just started implementing it today and had the same problem. The first item will act as the parent blueprint then you can duplicate and make a child blueprint by right clicking the blueprint and select child. That way you can have a bunch of different items and it will only have to look for the parent during pickup in the e key event.
Good tutorial :D only flaw is sometimes you talk too fast or mumble (even navigate and work a little too fast. Had to constantly pause and check if i was A. in the right blueprint and B. what was being changed).
so to register other items in inventory i have to repeat the process for every single one? to give example, i need weapons, armor , potions, plants, gold, quest items
Yeah i think you need to create a lot of children from that one asset and change the mesh , i payed some1 to do it for me and bug fixing so i disnt pay too much attention to it tbh but it works
@@GorkaGames awesome thanks. Could you maybe do a tutorial on how to make things run on client? I have many mechanics I have built that only work on standalone and not client
Thank you! So for that you will need to create a niagara system, or a cascade system. I do recommend to use Niagara, as its the newest one. Heres a tutorial about how to spawn paricles in a location! ruclips.net/video/OmeA-pw6NxE/видео.html
@@GorkaGames if you about screen then yeah, like when you play in window mode and change window with mouse and UI change accordingly. There are some tuts here on yt, but not that clear like all on your channel 🙂
Hey, is there any way you can explain in a separate video/link any tutorials that show you how to drop items from your inventory? Even just a comment explaining that would be much appreciated, thank you!
I don't know if this is a new feature or a bug, but when I try to make the ItemList public in order to access from the player, I'm unable to press the "eye" icon. It just keeps me making this tilt effect and lets the variable as private. Any info about that? I'm using 5.1.0. Thank You!
@@GorkaGames I am having the same issue. When you click on it the details shows a light blue line (like the red boolean or integer etc) not the list icon. Also using 5.1.0. Nothing that I click on will let the eye icon open to be editable.
I was doing a udemy unreal engine tutorial and was learning how to make an inventory the instructor was doing everything fast and not really explaining and I could follow and understand where the nodes are going but I didn't what they meant and what they represented until I saw this video and now I understand a lot more just with this small tutorial thank you very much
I thought that error was only happening to me, and I ended up wasting around 20 minutes on that video, skipping back and forth repeatedly, trying to solve the issue. Eventually, I just watched the video as is. And now I see that you also experienced the same error. Oh my God! 17:06
For anyone looking; I made something like this: #include "CoreMinimal.h" #include "UInventoryItem.generated.h" UCLASS(BlueprintType, Blueprintable) class PROJECT_EDEN_API UInventoryItem : public UObject { GENERATED_BODY() public: UInventoryItem(); ~UInventoryItem(); }; You can use this as a type within blueprints instead of string. You could make child classes of this to differ between item types.
Great tutorial! Was wondering if you have any videos that expand on this system and allow for a drag drop style inventory system using this method? Any advice on creating something like that using the method in this video would be great. Thanks!
Really appreciate your tutorials. I had a few issues, one being that I couldn't name the item when I dragged it into the game, and two being that I don't know how to add a second/third item etc. But I'll keep learning and figure it out!
@@keshxn8076 I gave up in the end. Tried some other tutorials but everyone does it differently and I'm using 5.2. Still don't have a working inventory system.
Hey man, i got some issues with the inventory... I pick up the item and it shows in the inventory with the name of the item, but when i close and open it again, the item disappears... Any idea?
hey, so what it seems that you are doing is deleting or removing the widget, where you just have to hide it. So instead of removing it, call the set visibility node, the thing is that I covered that in the video, so it will be somewhere at the end
Well, this is cool, but it get's tricky when you have tabs in your inventory (via widget switcher) and PlayerController calls/creates an Inventory widget that includes several tabs through widget switcher, so it doesn't have acess to separate widgets. I'm working on solving it though.
I havnt tested it yet but from how simple this is it’s much better than ryan laheys tutorial I spent like 4 hours watching his vids and it needed up breaking so ima test this easy and simple one to see if it works better
Stick to Ryan's tutorial. Honestly. I think this tutorial is for absolute beginners. There is much more you need to take into consideration when making an inventory/pickup/trade system. There is no inventory manipulation here, no real functionality. All you do is add a name to array and display it inside a widget. Although there are some good tutorials on this channel, this isn't one of them. You learn nothing here. It's just a clickbait for views.
@@DonMatek However Ryan's inventory don't make sense, convoluted as shit, you'll spend hours for in the end making all by yourself because his inventory system is garbage. At least here you can quickly see it's a shitty clickbait video, thumb it down and do something more interesting.
Having two problems here: The first one is that an Error pops up whenever I stop testing saying that there is a widget already made after every time I push the button. How do I fix that. Second, the Item in question doesn't seem to stay in the inventory after pick up. What's happening there?
Hey thanks for great a easy tutorial. It its helpful ... Im just consider why u copy and past creating inventory widget ... You could rather add it to begin play event and with key "I" just call set visibility ... even u dont have to set inventory widget to NULL
neat. but to try to follow along with all the jumping around is gonna be a hassle. glad you know how to do it though. maybe slow down when you move things around. thx
Saving your game is a whole other can of worms. You're going to need to store them in a place that doesn't get deleted upon exiting the game. It's too much for me to explain here but there are tutorials on this on youtube.
followed your tutorial perfectly, and adding all the stuff at the end with getting the custom name just broke the whole thing and nothing appeared to say that there was anything even in my inventory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you remake this stacking items and using the items and maybe a weight system I'm trying to make something where you collect food and it'll keep stacking and remove one when you click on it from the inventory and add to player hunger I saw your new vid that helped with my hunger system a lot but a combination of that video with this one showing how to make inventory /stack items/ and use them would be incredibly more helpful
Thank you for te tutorial, very helpful and intersting! By the way i have a problem, the name of the items appear twice when i pick them but i can't find where the problem is :(
For anyone wondering, on UE5+ you should go into the Item BluePrint and for the item variable check the option "Instance Editable". That way you can set the default item name string per instance.
When I do this, only one item can be picked up per run, and the name of the object does not show up in the inventory. Is it because I’m using UE4? (4.26 to be specific)
its annoying to be taking notes, then five minutes later in the video you are going five steps back and changing code that you should have just included at the time, instead my notes go back and fourth constantly because you forget details and then go back to fix them in code....annoying from a note taking standpoint. ill have to go through all my notes and rewrite them in correct order.....sigh....you should script your videos correctly so that every process is presented in its direct order of the next. imagine assembling a vehicle then at the half way point saying "oh i forgot the brakes lets go back and do it last instead of in order..." so we don't get confused."
I actually had the same issue when trying to close with Tab. For some reason that key doesn't get picked once the UI is in focus. I used OnKeyDown override in the widget where you can then cast to the character and with a custom event "flop" the node and close it but I am scratching my head about this issue. I would like to avoid having to do that in the widget but it works just fine.
I add another variable called price in this which display price of item which runs fine but how can i get the sum of all the price and display it can you please help?
After completing the guide I found that 'when I call my inventory after collecting items a few seconds later the names disappear' as if not to be recorded. Any ideas?

I am trying to follow along. you don't mention what you are doing. in 3rd person blueprint you press e key, but type out a word????? bring up a function ???????? can't follow.
For some reason after following this very carefully it still doesn't display my item name, it just says test object. Does anyone know why that may be? I've checked all of my code very closely. Anyone willing to spend the time to help if you can thank you!
@@GorkaGames Do you have a discord or anything where I can send you a screenshot? if not that's all good but this looks fine to me and i'm wondering if I just need another perspective
Im using enums (for list of pickable items) and line trace to interact with items and I can't get it to show in the inventory. I know you are using collisions and strings but I thought it will work simular. If you have a toutorial for that or if anyone here has any idea about it I will really appreciate that. And overall great toutorial. I have it saved for my next project.

Really appreciate your tutorials. I had a few issues, one being that I couldn't name the item when I dragged it into the game, and two being that I don't know how to add a second/third item etc. But I'll keep learning and figure it out!
did you find a solution? having the same problem
@@keshxn8076 I gave up in the end. Tried some other tutorials but everyone does it differently and I'm using 5.2. Still don't have a working inventory system.
compile script first + instance editable
make sure you have it set in the array / string correctly.
The exact issue I a m having and I have no clue how to fix it
Something that would be a great addition to this is a means of removing the items after usage.
Hey man, i got some issues with the inventory... I pick up the item and it shows in the inventory with the name of the item, but when i close and open it again, the item disappears... Any idea?
hey, so what it seems that you are doing is deleting or removing the widget, where you just have to hide it. So instead of removing it, call the set visibility node, the thing is that I covered that in the video, so it will be somewhere at the end
@@GorkaGames You have discord or something, cus talkingh thru comments is for me a bit complicated
@@instantgamer8091 if you want you can DM me through Twitter
i got everything the exact same like him but my itsm dont got names
Well, this is cool, but it get's tricky when you have tabs in your inventory (via widget switcher) and PlayerController calls/creates an Inventory widget that includes several tabs through widget switcher, so it doesn't have acess to separate widgets. I'm working on solving it though.
I havnt tested it yet but from how simple this is it’s much better than ryan laheys tutorial I spent like 4 hours watching his vids and it needed up breaking so ima test this easy and simple one to see if it works better
Stick to Ryan's tutorial. Honestly. I think this tutorial is for absolute beginners. There is much more you need to take into consideration when making an inventory/pickup/trade system. There is no inventory manipulation here, no real functionality. All you do is add a name to array and display it inside a widget. Although there are some good tutorials on this channel, this isn't one of them. You learn nothing here. It's just a clickbait for views.
@@DonMatek However Ryan's inventory don't make sense, convoluted as shit, you'll spend hours for in the end making all by yourself because his inventory system is garbage. At least here you can quickly see it's a shitty clickbait video, thumb it down and do something more interesting.
Does this work with data assets?
Having two problems here: The first one is that an Error pops up whenever I stop testing saying that there is a widget already made after every time I push the button. How do I fix that. Second, the Item in question doesn't seem to stay in the inventory after pick up. What's happening there?
Well how does this work multiple items? I just copied the item from the content drawer, but the item doesnt get picked up?
I get an error at 13:28 because player controller requires target?
Using wrong player controller
Hey thanks for great a easy tutorial. It its helpful ... Im just consider why u copy and past creating inventory widget ... You could rather add it to begin play event and with key "I" just call set visibility ... even u dont have to set inventory widget to NULL
neat. but to try to follow along with all the jumping around is gonna be a hassle. glad you know how to do it though. maybe slow down when you move things around. thx
thanks, yeah especially at the middle-end I realized that I started going a bit faster, I will try to keep the same rythm for the next time 😄
when you leave and go back in does the inventory save?
No, I';ve been trying to figure out how to implement that into this BP
Saving your game is a whole other can of worms. You're going to need to store them in a place that doesn't get deleted upon exiting the game. It's too much for me to explain here but there are tutorials on this on youtube.
@@katiekaliber What do you mean can of worms? You can't figure out how to use either game state or a json file to save an inventory? :))
followed your tutorial perfectly, and adding all the stuff at the end with getting the custom name just broke the whole thing and nothing appeared to say that there was anything even in my inventory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man, thank you so much for the amazing channel and videos!!!
I wanted to know if there's a way I can put animations when collecting?
Can you remake this stacking items and using the items and maybe a weight system I'm trying to make something where you collect food and it'll keep stacking and remove one when you click on it from the inventory and add to player hunger I saw your new vid that helped with my hunger system a lot but a combination of that video with this one showing how to make inventory /stack items/ and use them would be incredibly more helpful
How can we check if there is X number of an item in your inventory ? (Sorry for the english i'm French.)
Could we get an intermediate one @gorkagames that lets us pick up more than one type of item?
Thank you for te tutorial, very helpful and intersting!
By the way i have a problem, the name of the items appear twice when i pick them but i can't find where the problem is :(
hi it is me again anyway 16:50 i cant do the list vertical even tho i did everything
did you get correctly the inventory widget from the player`s cast?
@@GorkaGames yes
@@GorkaGames and it didn’t work
im useing ue 5.1 and i cant name it wood. i do not have that default tab
For anyone wondering, on UE5+ you should go into the Item BluePrint and for the item variable check the option "Instance Editable". That way you can set the default item name string per instance.
hey man please make a video to save/load inventory!
When I do this, only one item can be picked up per run, and the name of the object does not show up in the inventory.
Is it because I’m using UE4? (4.26 to be specific)
its annoying to be taking notes, then five minutes later in the video you are going five steps back and changing code that you should have just included at the time, instead my notes go back and fourth constantly because you forget details and then go back to fix them in code....annoying from a note taking standpoint. ill have to go through all my notes and rewrite them in correct order.....sigh....you should script your videos correctly so that every process is presented in its direct order of the next. imagine assembling a vehicle then at the half way point saying "oh i forgot the brakes lets go back and do it last instead of in order..." so we don't get confused."
I actually had the same issue when trying to close with Tab. For some reason that key doesn't get picked once the UI is in focus. I used OnKeyDown override in the widget where you can then cast to the character and with a custom event "flop" the node and close it but I am scratching my head about this issue. I would like to avoid having to do that in the widget but it works just fine.
Tab works now!
how can we add more item BP's to it so its not just one mesh please
to add new mesh simply create a child bp class
I add another variable called price in this which display price of item which runs fine but how can i get the sum of all the price and display it can you please help?
Very nice tutorial! Can you proviedr the project as a zip file for us to go through the code again?
Thank you!! Yeah good idea, I will try to add it to like google drive or something
@@GorkaGames Done with it?
After completing the guide I found that 'when I call my inventory after collecting items a few seconds later the names disappear' as if not to be recorded. Any ideas?
Un tutorial de recoger objetos con una animación donde interactues y el objeto se absorba a ti porfavor!!

yea its work thannks
Whenever I try to connect the cast to third person character and connect it to inventory widget it doesn’t let me connect it to Add item to list ui how do I fix it
Hey, have you found a solution to this yet?
@@killxu6633 nope lol
@@reavzlololol how about now
ive been watching your videos to learn ue5 and they have beep super helpful, you could speak a bit slower though, I struggle to keep up with what your saying and doing at the same time, very fast. although I get there by rewatching a lot. I appreciate the videos and keep up the quality content.
the first time i open inventory it shows items but if i close and open again theyre gone? what am i doing wrong?
can someone please send me a download link to their inventory Folder mine wont work pls!
Whats your Discord Name ? I can send you all the files needed, but be I used the Top Down Character.

When i connect the variable to add child it connects to content not target i cant connect it to target
I am trying to follow along. you don't mention what you are doing. in 3rd person blueprint you press e key, but type out a word????? bring up a function ???????? can't follow.
idk what i did wrong ima die i keep lookin back over it and cant find what i messed up im not getting a item print
at the top
Good tutorial I learned a lot. Please stop saying "basically" so much.
thanks, yeah man I do need to say it less 🤣
This would be great if it wasn't broken up. If you make a mistake while making the video, please start over
How do I keep the Item name visible when the inventory open and closes again??
awesome!
For some reason after following this very carefully it still doesn't display my item name, it just says test object. Does anyone know why that may be? I've checked all of my code very closely. Anyone willing to spend the time to help if you can thank you!
hey, make sure that after you create the widget slot, you get a reference to the Item name, and set the text, like in here: 19:36
@@GorkaGames Do you have a discord or anything where I can send you a screenshot? if not that's all good but this looks fine to me and i'm wondering if I just need another perspective
Or is there anyway to like link a photo in a comment?
Anyone knows how to add different animation to NPC when You interact with it? If you know a tutorial about that plz share thanks!
Im using enums (for list of pickable items) and line trace to interact with items and I can't get it to show in the inventory. I know you are using collisions and strings but I thought it will work simular. If you have a toutorial for that or if anyone here has any idea about it I will really appreciate that. And overall great toutorial. I have it saved for my next project.
