Equipping Armor

[Frocha]

So I'm a bit curious if its possible to use the inventory system to equip armor or clothing items. I've seen one other thread where someone had the same question but it seemed a bit tedious. I've been toying around with the inventory system and I'm able to get for example a helmet to show precisely where I need it. But there's errors. The helmet is not enabled at runtime, but its where I need it to be.


So the character will pick up the item, it shows up in the proper location but its not enabled.
Below is the error message.

To be more specific, i created an item with a unique slot id that links it to the characters "Head".

Do I have to create a custom script to equip clothing? Or can I use the tools in the inventory system? Im using the UCC Thirdperson controller. Guns work fine and so do items (health/shield items). Where would I start? I'm trying to avoid coding because I'm terrible at it.

Just to clarify you are using the Ultimate Inventory System (UIS) integration with the Third Person Character Controller correct?

Equipping clothes is different then equipping weapons. Clothes cannot be used (in most cases) you just wear them. So that means you don't need to use the Third Person Character controller at all. Just UIS is enough to equip clothes using the Equippper component.

There is a section in the integration documentation that goes over that. Check the "EQUIPPING SKINNED MESH CLOTHES" section of this page

Opsive Ultimate Inventory System - Opsive

The character controller is seamlessly integrated with the Ultimate Inventory System allowing you to use the Ultimate Inventory System inventory rather than the inventory included . . .

I see I am using UIS and third person. I'll have a look at that, and try to set it up.

I got the clothing to work. Thank you https://streamable.com/3jig9d I used this video for reference as well.
