FAQ:
1) Can I download the materials or the project somewhere?
Answer: no, the project is made completely from scratch, all elements are developed from scratch, and what is taken from the assets is available in the Unreal market. The project is not available for download in order to curb piracy and theft of copyright content.
2) Is it possible to ask about the topic of the course?
Answer: Of course you can. I will read and answer. If you need help with some additional points, for example, "how to add a sword to inventory", then you can also contact me, I will help. The only thing is that I will not write the code for you, I will only tell you how to do it.
4) What will I learn in this course?
Answer: everything you need to create a fully working inventory.
