HOW TO INTEGRATE THE FARMING SYSTEM WITH THE MULTIPLAYER SURVIVAL GAME TEMPALTE (MSGT)

  • Begin by Migrating the Farming System to your MSGT installation

  • Add the FarmingSystem component to the MSGT's SurvivalController

  • Copy the Events from the BP_PlayerController (inside the FarmingSystem folder) to your SurvivalController, EXCEPT the last event (Input: E), we'll add this to the MSGT's own interaction system.

  • Inside the SurvivalController, open the "GetActionType" function, modify it as such:

  • Open the C-FarmingSystem component (Inside /FarmingSystem), below is an example to get the reward when harvesting a plant

  • The reward when harvesting a plant is simply a "Row Name" that you define in your own DT_SGT_ITEMS DataTable, whatever you type into Rewards (on the right screen) is what you will get when harvesting a plant.

That's it!​

HOW TO ADD THE FARMING SYSTEM TO YOUR OWN PROJECT​

Begin by Migrating the FarmingSystem to your own project​

Add the Component to your PlayerController​

Check the example BP_PlayerController on what functions/events to execute from your own PlayerController.​

Settings​

  • Enable Snapping Enable/Disable placement snapping when placing new farm actors
  • Enable Trace Interaction Enable/Disable the Farming System's built in Actor tracing (when aiming at a Farming Actor, it will display a "Interact" text on screen
  • Enable Collision Check Enable/Disable collision check when placing down farm actors, it only checks if it's colliding with any other farm actors
  • Placement Update Rate Determines how often we want to update the placement location, this can be decreased at the cost of performance and make the movement smoother
  • Default Water Amount This default water value will be added to the new farm actor when placed
