Been messing around with VR a bit while my sister is letting me borrow her headset, and found a free plugin called CONVAI that will let you add NPC's that you can customize and talk to. you can even give them a backstory. this one is a sample character, but if you'd like to check it out, here's a link to the plugin. https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/convai

In this video we'll set up all the logic for tracking our kill quest data so we can start turning in both styles of quests! we're going to be going over the third type of quest later on but for now we'll set up the kill tracking.

A quick fix, but now we need to update our harvestables to make them... harvestable... again... lol. we updated our melee swing to check a different trace channel, so now these will need to respond to the correct channel also

The final fix to get our equipment system fully fixed up, the ability to disarm weapons and remove the static meshes from the character. we'll also set it up to not be able to unequip when they're trying to use those weapons.

Don't want to bother with a use item button? want to just double click and equip that weapon? well then let's make it happen! it's a pretty quick fix and easy to implement, so let's just jump straight to it!

So now that we can craft some potions, lets make them actually DO something. don't want to just carry them around as a trophy, so we'll go over how to get them to actually restore our health and mana. at the moment our mana recharges over time, but if you need a boost, a mana potion is good to have. we'll also be setting it up so that we can upgrade the potions potency later on when we get into our skill tree system
We also have a discord now, so if you have questions or requests, come give us a shout!

We can Use items now, so let's set up the functionality to actually register our weapons and tools as "equipped" and pick up our old ones if we have something else already equipped. we'll also set up the attack trace function to apply damage and register which player caused the hit so we can later distribute XP appropriately to only the players that actually engaged in combat.
