A flexible event system in Unreal Engine 4
Based on the powerful "GameplayTags" system, the CT_GameEventSystem can provide a flexible event system.
Just download the plugin and place it inside "YourProjectUnrealEngine/Plugins/CT_GameEventSystem"
You need to create a list of GameplayTags with a gameplay tag datatable and add the datatable inside you project settings in the "GameplayTags" part on the "Gameplay Tag table list" property. Tips: I always use "GES" as first category of my tags path. example : GES.Event1.Status.Open or GES.Event4.Custom.Selected
The plugin provide you 5 main objects
- GameEvent
- GameEventBehavior
- GameEventComponent
- GameEventContainer
- GameEventManager
Type: DataAsset
Function: Contains all information of an event, like what is require for being activated or what is the status for being status complete, or when the GameEvent is complete it can automatically try activate anothers.
Type: Object (not spawnable)
Function: Can be set inside a GameEvent, the GameEventBehavior goal is the purely scripted part of the event, example I have a quest and the goal of this quest is to getting 5 apples, so I can store number of apples pickup inside this object.
Type: ActorComponent
Function: The goal of the GameEventComponent is to listen some event tags and when a GameEvent has been update and an GameEventComponent listen this GameEvent a delegate event of the GameEventComponent will be called. It's really useful when you have actors (world object) who listen an event and react when some change happens, for example a quest marker above a character displaying when the GameEvent become active.
Type: DataAsset
Function: Contains only all GameEvent in an array property.
Type: Actor
Function: Contain a GameEventContainer and it's the only object manipulator of the Container and their GameEvent. Can try activate GameEvent, add custom tags to a GameEvent and more.
