UE online interactions

This time I’m bringing to live an interaction system. Originally inpired by PayDay 2, but that was tweaked during development process to improve It’s flexibility for any kind of game and needs.

It features a large set of interaction behaviours, allowing you to change them in real time to not limiting one object with just one interaction and a callback. This way you can connect different actions toguether, for example:

A broken computer could have a first interaction of “REPAIR” and after finishing it, you can enable a next interaction called “HACK PC“, and after that you could still add as many other interactions as needed, for example one to “WATCH SECURITY CAMERAS” or whatever you would like to add.

You can find it in the Unreal Engine Marketplace: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/online-cooperative-interaction-system
