please make tutorial, how to properly use tab key to open/close inventory

[@thegamedevcave]

you can open the inventory made in my inventory series through any key bind you want with unreal's enhanced input system, with that you can bind any keys you want to an action to preform.

@@thegamedevcave but not the tab key, when open inventory, tab button will start jumping between buttons in it, but it wont close the inventory, because tab key is a special.

@@eligijuspranskunas3509 If I remember good from documentation for this "issue", You need to uncheck one option in Blueprint Widget in Details panel -> Interaction section -> option name "is Focusable" You need to do this in example in Grid inventory WB or you can use is focusable BP node in event graph where you need to modyfi this option

@@eligijuspranskunas3509 I don't know why my comment is not visible but fing and play with "Is Focusable" option in your bluperint widget

@@eligijuspranskunas3509 make the inventory UI not focusable; if any widgets are focusable and you click it with the mouse, it takes over the tab input (from what i've found) unticking the focusable box means the UI will be mouse only interaction and not keyboard though (might screw up controller support)

love your videos. that last part, about attacking and skills, did u make a tutorial about that? if yes, please tell me... if not, could u show this next time? my project is a bit old so I was developing in other way, putting the anim montages, sounds, all logics in same char BP.

I have a full playlist course on using the gameplay ability system that might help you out if you’re interested in checking it out, alongside epic games’ own documentation page on the topic which is a great place to start!

Really good video, I have one question what do you think is the best way to learn c++ for unreal engine, any course that it's worth?

[@thegamedevcave]

i have an introduction course right here on my channel that will hopefully help you get up to speed with c++ :)
it does assume some basic understanding of programming , but if youre looking for c++ help i'm guessing you either have some programming experience in other language or blueprint already, which should be plenty enough to follow along!

[@Eclipsesaga3203]

@@thegamedevcave I'll definitely check it out and I do have some experience with blueprints and a basic programming knowledge
