The **Equipment Manager (AC\_EquipmentManager)** is one of the most sophisticated components in Soulslike Framework, responsible for dynamically managing equipment slots and their associated functionality. It provides a fully modular and customizable equipment system, allowing users to define and configure slots at runtime.
It is added to the **PlayerController** class by default **(PC\_SoulslikeFramework).**
### **How It Works**
* **Slot Initialization**:
* At runtime, equipment slots are generated using the provided Slot Table**.**
* Each slot is assigned a unique identifier and type (e.g., `Right Hand Weapon 1`, `Tool Slot 3`), allowing the system to handle them flexibly.
* **Equipping Items**:
* The `EquipItem` method validates whether the item meets slot requirements:
* **Stat Requirements**: Checks if the player has the required stats for the item.
* **Slot Compatibility**: Ensures the item can be equipped to the intended slot type.
* Upon successful validation, the item is equipped, triggering:
* **Stat Changes**: Applies any bonuses provided by the item (e.g., Strength +5).
* **Visual Updates:** Weapons/mesh updates reflecting the equipped item.
* **UI Updates**: Refreshes the equipment screen to reflect the new item.
* **Unequipping Items**:
* The `UnequipItem` method removes the item from the slot, reversing any applied stat changes, visual changes and updating the UI.
* **Two-Hand Stancing**:
* Toggles between one-handed and two-handed modes for weapons that support it (e.g., switching a sword from single-hand to two-hand grip).
* Adjusts animations and gameplay logic accordingly.
* **Helper Methods**:
* Includes various utility functions to streamline equipment management:
* `IsSlotOccupied`: Checks if a slot currently has an item.
* `GetActiveWeaponSlot`: Retrieves the currently active weapon for combat.
* `CanBlock`: Determines if the equipped item allows blocking functionality.
### Example Usages
Most functionality of the Equipment Component is utilized by the **Equipment Widget.**
