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.
