Description

The Generic Inventory System (GIS) is a robust and versatile Unreal Engine 5 plugin meticulously crafted for game developers.

Whether you aim to create a inventory system, equipment management, construction framework, or farming mechanics, GIS empowers you to swiftly construct intricate inventory structures.

Think of it as a set of expertly designed "building blocks," allowing you to assemble a resource management system tailored to your game's unique needs.

🤔Why Choose GIS?

Simplicity and Accessibility: Easy to use, even with zero coding experience 💡
- No need for C++ mastery—GIS offers exceptional Blueprint support.
- Most configurations can be completed directly in the editor, enabling designers to contribute effortlessly.
- It also supports both Blueprint and C++ extensions to cater to diverse development needs.
Data-Driven Flexibility: Define items with ease 📊
- Manage item data using DataAssets—adding or modifying items is as simple as a few configurations.
- Build attribute systems with GameplayTags, ensuring default item properties and instance states are clear at a glance.

Comprehensive Features: Everything you need ⚙️
- Equipment System: Independent yet seamlessly integrated with inventory, perfectly managing wearables, weapons, amulets, and more.
- Crafting and Upgrading: Customize recipes and enhancement logic to bring more fun and challenges to players.
- Save and Load: Effortlessly save and restore item data, ensuring persistent game progress.
- Network Support: Fully compatible with UE5 multiplayer systems, with real-time synchronization of inventory and trade data, fostering rich social interactions.
Modular Design: Exceptional scalability 🧩
- Built on an MVC architecture (Item Definition = Model, Item Instance = Controller, Physical Representation/UI = View), offering a clear structure.
- It serves as a foundation for other systems (e.g., construction or farming), preventing redundant development.
- Provides a concise yet powerful API for seamless item management (create, read, update, delete).
Performance-Oriented: Optimized for networking 🚀
- Core code is written in C++, deeply leveraging UE5’s advanced features (e.g., FastArraySerializer, PushModel).
- Continuous performance optimization ensures a smooth experience in both single-player and multiplayer environments.
