Fort Inventory Component in Fortnite

The Custom Items and Inventories system uses inventories and sub-inventories to compartmentalize items by sorting, adding, and retrieving items. Refer to Working with Entities and Components for how to add a component to your entity.

Entities are only considered items if they have an item_component. Without one, entities will not be added to inventories properly as well as Custom Item and Inventories functionality may be broken.

• References to an “item” are referring to an entity with an item_component.
• References to “inventories” are referring to an entity with an inventory_component.

Class Description

The fort_inventory_component is a subclass of the inventory_component. Its purpose is to provide compatibility between Fortnite gameplay and the new Custom Items and Inventories system. By default players are given an Inventory Root, and then a number of specialized subclasses are added to the Root as sub-inventories.
