Question for Modders About Kits/Roles

I have no experience whatsoever with modding or coding in UE4. I wanted to know if it's even possible/how difficult it would be to implement a kit system similar to Project Reality into Squad.

I'm talking about having a object in game that is dropped upon death or switching your kit, just like in PR, that can be picked up by other players. I have no idea if this is even possible or not so I wanted to see if anyone on here has thought of doing this yet.

The kit system is one thing I will never forget about PR; being able to grab equipment from a fallen squad mate as a last ditch effort was such a fun part of the kit system. I remember so many clutch moments when someone had to grab the AT guy's launcher to try and save everyone from enemy armor... I want that in Squad!

it's something we've discussed adding into the squad ops hard core mod. Such a mechanic will also likely make its way into the unreleased Osiris mod as a server side option.

It's nearly impossible for you. It will probably take 2 years for you to learn C++

Also, Visual Studio costs around 500 dollars.

Not to mention that was an arcade feature. Squad is more realistic, Go play PR if you like that better.

Mods in squad can not use c++, we are limited to using blueprints, a visual scripting language found inside of ue4.
As far as VS, you can compile any build of ue4 with the free community versions of VS2017 and 2019, although, for modding squad, however, is not needed what so ever.
Simply download the squad sdk via the epic games launcher.
