Create the Foliage Data Table​

Create the Foliage Plugin Actor Blueprint Class​

Assign the Data Table and Foliage Actor blueprint in Project Settings > Foliage Plugin​

Change the Component Class for your foliage to use the "FoliagePluginComponent" as seen below​

In your data table, add a new "Tree" resource, example below:​

Implement the Foliage Plugin Interface in the SurvivalController Blueprint​

Right click anywhere inside the Event Graph (SurvivalController) and add the Interface Event as seen below:​

An example of how to add foliage rewards to your inventory

Inside the SurvivalController Event Graph, Right click and create a new event as seen below:​

Open the C_Manager-HUD Blueprint Component and modify the InteractiveTrace function to output the Hit Result​

Inside the GetActionType Function (SurvivalController), add an input pin of Hit Result type as seen below:​

Connect the Hit Result you just created, inside the "InteractAction" function (SurvivalController)​

Modify the "GetActionType" function and add the event call you created earlier as seen in yellow:​

Create the Data Table (Foliage Data)​

Create a Blueprint Class of type FoliagePluginActor​

Assign the Data Table and the Foliage Actor in the Project Settings​

(FOLIAGE ACTOR HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE DATATABLE)

Change the Component Class for your Foliage to use the "FoliagePluginComponent"​

Create a new Tree resource in the Foliage Data Table you previously created, see example below​

Set the BP_FoliageActor class that you created earlier in the DataTable​

Create a new Rock resource in the Foliage Data Table you previously created, see example below​

In the BP_SurvivalCharacter Blueprint, add the Foliage Plugin Interface​

Example of adding the harvested resources to our inventory​

Example of how to enable Melee Weapons to harvest Trees and Rocks​

OPEN THE "BP_MASTERMELEEWEAPON" BLUEPRINT (/BLUEPRINTS/HOLDABLES/BP_MASTERMELEEWEAPON) AND MODIFY THE "GIVE DAMAGE ONCE" FUNCTION TO THE EXAMPLE BELOW

Example of how to enable harvesting with "E" Interact Key​

Open the "BP_PlayerInventoryComponent" (/Blueprints/Components) and modify the "Is inventory actor?" macro

Open the "Is interactable?" Macro and modify as such​

Setting up Damage Types for the Foliage Plugin​

If you haven't setup the Foliage Plugin yet, follow this tutorial first.

Create a new Blueprint Class based on the DamageType​

Set the new Damage Type required in your Foliage DataTable​

When Applying damage to your Foliage, specify the new Damage Type​

All done, if the incorrect damage type is applied, you will not be able to interact with the Foliage​

Setting up Destructible Meshes with the Foliage Plugin​

If you haven't setup the Foliage Plugin yet, follow this tutorial first.

Create a Destructible Mesh of your Foliage Mesh​

Example Settings of a Destructible Mesh (a rock in this example)​

Add the Destructible Mesh to the Foliage DataTable you created in the previous tutorial​

Important here is that the IDs (marked in RED) are the SAME, it doesn't matter if the Destructible Mesh is Empty (if you don't have one for a different mesh)

Another Example​

Add a Destructible Component to your BP_FoliageActor that you created in the previous tutorial​

All done, the Foliage Plugin will handle dealing damage and visibility of the Destructible Mesh​

Enable the Foliage Plugin​

Create the Foliage DataTable​

Create a new Foliage Blueprint Actor (FoliagePluginActor) child​

In Project Settings > Foliage Plugin > Set your newly created Foliage DataTable and Foliage Actor​

When Painting / Spawning Foliage, you must change the default foliage component to "FoliagePluginComponent"​

Make sure your collision settings for your foliage is set to BlockAll, or your own custom collision channel​

(this is only required for interacting with the foliage instances)

Add a new Entry in the Foliage DataTable, in this example we're creating a Tree Resource​

You must make sure that the Mesh you paint (or spawn) is the same in the Foliage DataTable so that the Foliage Plugin knows what to do with it.

Inside your Character (or Controller) Blueprint, Implement the Foliage Plugin Interface​

Example of adding resources to your inventory when a Foliage is damaged (harvested)

Interacting with the Foliage Plugin Example​

This example uses a line trace from the Players point of view to "Apply Point Damage" Damage is handled by the Foliage Plugin and will convert your Foliage Instance to a useable / interactable foliage actor automatically.

Begin by adding your building to the DT_Buildings DataTable Add a new socket to the CompatibleSocketNames array, here you determine what sockets that this building component can be placed on, in this example, Door is our compatible socket name, every building that has the socket "Door" we will be able to snap our new building to. Inside /BuildingSystem/Meshes, open up any mesh that require a "Door" (can be anything), in this example, we'll use "SM_Simple_Cottage" Once the Static Mesh Editor is open, in the lower right corner you'll find the Sockets editor Create a new socket and name it "Door"   In the "Preview Static Mesh" selector, pick the "SM_Simple_Door" mesh as a preview mesh so that we can position it correctly   Use the preview window to move the door into the correct position [video width="528" height="464" mp4="http://eeldev.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/df64ca4e45601658524785899bc8eaa7.mp4"\]\[/video\] You can do this for anything you want to "snap" onto a building

Done!​
