Is it possible to hide AWESOME Shop schematic after purchasing it?
I want an item to be purchasable only once and then hide it from the shop. I can set dependency 'Schematic Not Purchased' to itself and it kinda works, but it doesn't hide the item from the shop, even with
mHiddenUntilDependenciesMet, just makes it 'Unavailable'.
Is it possible to hide it from the shop or maybe un-learn a schematic?7 Replies
I think it would be best for user understanding if instead of hiding, it showed up locked - then you can find out that you already purchased it if you forget
If you're set on having it hidden, you could possibly use another custom schematic that it rewards as the blocker?
Worst comes to worst you could also use widget hooks to remove it whenever it shows up, but that's not ideal
What is the use case for it only being purchased once? Are you sure there is no way for the player to lose or delete it?
Would it be better to write your own custom reward class and spawn it by the hub terminal or something?
Yeah, there are probably better ways to handle this.
I initially made a schematic that unlocks a recipe and gives an item. I wanted to be able to buy the item repeatedly, but because it also unlocks a recipe, the game doesn't let you buy it multiple times, so i was thinking to have a different schematic that provides only an item to replace this one after the initial purchase, but they both stay visible.
I guess separating the item and the recipe into separate schematics would be the most reasonable compromise then, i'm not ready to learn hooks and custom scripts yet.
The base game sets the precedent of unlocking and buying being separate things, might be best to follow that yeah
You might be able to use the unlock schematic award type to get around the inability to re purchase
Solution
Or make your own reward class that allows consecutive purchases
Schematic is considered repeatedly purchaseable if all of it's unlocks are
That's probably the cleanest solution, see this @SerGreen
Thanks! That worked very nicely and is exactly what i wanted to achieve.
I inherited
BP_UnlockSchematic and all unlocks have a function isRepeatPurchasesAllowed, so i simply overridden it and made it always return true. Worked like a charm. I just hope the game doesn't actually save duplicates of recipes when i purchase it repeatedly.
And using UnlockSchematic type with a proxy schematic that only unlocks a recipe allowed me to hide from the shop that the recipe is being rewarded along with the item, which is perfect.
