Quick Start

After you added the asset package to your project, follow these steps to make it work:

​

1. Import the Layout Tags

Open your project’s gameplay tag settings from Edit > Project Settings > Gameplay Tags add DT_FDM_LayoutTags to your Gameplay Tag Table List.

​

2. Add AC_FDM_Component

Add AC_FDM_Component to your Player Character or Player Controller.

​

3. Assign a Config asset

Assign a Config asset for the component.

​

4. Add Input Actions

Add the following input actions:

• IA_FDM_SelectDown
• IA_FDM_SelectLeft
• IA_FDM_SelectRight
• IA_FDM_SelectUp

Then call FDM Directional Input function on Triggered Event with corresponding direction input.

​

5. Optional: Example Inventory

Add AC_FDM_ExampleInventoryComponent and assign a starting item asset. Then initialize the inventory on Begin Play.

​

6. Initialize the FDM Component

Call Initialize FDM Component when your character/controller is ready (typically on Begin Play).

​

7. Use your own system
