Simple Interactions is a basic player-to-actor and actor-to-actor interactions framework. Once set up, creating new interactive actors takes just a minute (literally!)! This component is best fit on early stages of production or prototyping as its main focus is ease of use and fast creation of new actors.


Works with First Person characters, third person characters, and any other kind of perspective as long as pawn is source of interaction testing.


The way the component is structured makes its expansion and adding new functionalities really easy. Interface included in the pack also serves as a basic communication framework for other actors (so the button can tell the lamp that it has been switched)


100% blueprint, easy to edit and expand, nodes are commented and variables have tooltips. Even beginners should be able to make out what's what! Pack setup simplicity tested on people without any technical experience (nobody was harmed in the process)
