An interaction system is useful when you want a player to be able to interact with objects in the level. This could be to open a door, ignite a campfire, push a button, pick up items, and so forth. This plugin supports most of these use cases in an intelligent, plug-n-play manor. No need to implement these interaction behaviors (such as interaction bindings or traces) in your Character/Pawn or in the object to interact with. All you care about is the expected result, right? Simply add the input bindings you wish to support in your Project Settings, add the "InteractorComponent" to your Character/Pawn in either C++ or BP ("Interactor"), then add the "InteractableComponent" to the Actor to interact with in either C++ or BP ("Interactable"). That's it! Now you can implement your own functionality when the appropriate interaction events are fired! A support-only Discord server is available for questions or support, however, the documentation, a basic demo, and example projects should provide enough information to get you started. This provides a great alternative to the usage of interfaces in your projects! Additional updates and support is planned. If you are having issues, please reach out on Discord by creating a support ticket.
Note for plugin content with Unreal Engine 5.0:
With the migration to Unreal Engine 5.0, the included User Widget isn't visible on focus as it was in previous engine versions. I'm currently investigating this.
Note for plugin features and support for Unreal Engine 4.25:
With the release of Unreal Engine 5.0, I can no-longer maintain this version of the plugin in the Unreal Marketplace. The plugin is fully supported in 4.25 as of my recent changes, so please reach out on the support-only Discord for steps to backport the plugin.
