Complete the circuit and power up your world! In Part 56 of the Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial Series, we take our Teleporter and turn it into a fully functional gameplay puzzle by linking it to the items we created in the last lesson.
In this video, you will learn how to manage state-dependent logic. We’ll set up dynamic text prompts that change based on what the player has in their inventory—showing "Low Power" or "No Signal" if parts are missing, and "Install" prompts when the player is ready. You’ll master using Custom Events to clean up your code, and updating Character variables to move the player through a multi-step quest. This is essential knowledge for anyone wanting to build "lock and key" style gameplay!

In this Puzzle Integration tutorial, we cover:
- Dynamic UI Prompts: Creating and toggling multiple Text Renders for different puzzle states.
- Complex Branching: Checking multiple Booleans (BatteryInstalled vs. BatteryInInventory) to determine the next action.
- Custom Event Workflow: Creating "StepOntoTeleporter" and "InstallItem" events for modular logic.
- Inventory Hand-off: Removing items from the Character and "installing" them into the Teleporter Actor.
- Visual Feedback: Triggering emissive materials, visibility toggles, and Skeletal Mesh animations upon successful installation.
- Error Handling: Providing player feedback (Low Power/No Signal) when puzzle requirements aren't met.
- Polish & Testing: Validating the entire loop from finding an item to successfully activating the Teleporter.
