Description

An advanced inventory system with support for many common inventory types.

Inventory Types

Craft items using data-driven item recipes. Crafting may be instant or over time.

Cosmetics

Apply network-replicated cosmetics to actors when they equip items. Cosmetics include meshes, particles, or child actors.

Player Feedback

Give feedback to players when they interact with inventories. Bolt uses a simple error system based on enums; you may display error messages, play sounds, etc. when a player’s request fails.

Network Replication

Bolt’s systems are fully network replicated. Additionally, player manipulation of inventories includes client-side prediction, greatly improving the feel of interacting with inventories. Client-side prediction can even be enabled for server-owned actors like shared chests.

Save and Load

Inventories and crafting can be saved and loaded seamlessly. All Bolt objects that can be saved/loaded implement a single interface, making integration with other save systems easy.

Blueprint Accessible

All of Bolt’s major features are accessible with Blueprints or C++.
