Progress Manager

The Progress Manager (AC_ProgressManager) is a simple yet powerful component that tracks player progress using a Gameplay Tag | EProgress map. It integrates seamlessly with the AI Interaction Manager component, allowing dialogues to dynamically adjust based on the player's progress. Additionally, it includes a Gameplay Event System that can be triggered from AI dialogues or other gameplay events.

It is added to the PlayerController class by default (PC_SoulslikeFramework).

How It Works

• Storing & Managing Progress

  • The component maintains a map of Progress Tags | EProgress. Each progress state is stored persistently, allowing the system to track which objectives, quests, or interactions have been completed.

• Adjusting Progress States

  • SetProgress(ProgressTag, EProgressState)

    • Updates the current progress of a given tag.

  • GetProgress(ProgressTag)

    • Returns the current progress state of a given tag.

• Executing Gameplay Events

  • ExecuteGameplayEvents(EventsArray)

    • This function processes a struct (FDialogGameplayEvent), which contains:

      • EventTag: Identifies what type of gameplay event it is.

      • AdditionalTag: Provides extra context for event handling.

      • Custom Data: A flexible Instanced Struct that can store any type of data dynamically.

    • When triggered, iterates through the array of events, extracting necessary data and routing them accordingly.

    • Using a switch statement, determines the type of event, executing the desired logic according to event tag.
