About

 

This Template has been made with you in mind! Have you ever thought about making a store simulator game where you can build and run your own store but don’t know where to start? Well, this is the place to start!

 

This Template contains a lot of features to help you make a simulator game such as Product shelves, AI Customers, Storage shelves, Checkout, Build system to make your own store + more, with multiplayer support!

 

All you need to get started is to add the components to your character, game mode and game state and it will work! This is also replicated and will work for multiplayer as the player component handles that out of the box.

 

 

What’s new?

 

v0.94

 

General

• Unpaid products are now saved and the shop is being compensated on load to prevent loss of products during save when customers have grabbed products from shelves and not paid yet.
• Undelivered product crates are now saved and delivered on load if saved during delivery to prevent loss of products.
• Reduced template size by ~60%.

 

Build system

• Fixed a few errors in buildsystem when hitactor is not valid or when build object was not valid.

   

Checkout

• Added an experimental feature with checkout products which lets us instantly place them on the checkout instead of them falling. Toggleable in CheckoutProduct blueprint.

 

AI

• Implemented a new interactionpoint system for the AI, This allows for mutliple interaction points( configurable ). This also solves some of the unreachable shelf issues as they will just ignore the shelf now if its unreachable. The interaction plane has been removed. For the first implementation, this will cover product shelves, storage shelves and dumpster.
• Cashier now looks at card terminal / cash register when using it.
• Added pickup animation for customers.
• Added configurable animation when customer place products on the checkout.
• Changes to employee behavior tree to prevent error when a dumpster is not present in the world.

   

 

Product shelf

• Added the option to allow multiple product types in a single slot.

 

 

 

How it works:

 

1. Start by ordering products.
2. Build shelves for the products using the build system.
3. Grab the ordered product crates and stock the shevles.
4. Build a checkout.
5. Enable the customer spawner.
