Character Modding (Code Injection Notes)

Since update v0.4.5.1, the game supports character modding through code. This page provides basic notes for modder familiar with code and asset injection in Unreal Engine. (If you already know how to inject code and assets into Unreal Engine-based projects.)

To create a custom character mod config, inherit from the following UDataAsset class: CharacterConfig/TagCharacterModConfig.h

UCLASS(BlueprintType)
class TAGGAME_API UTagCharacterModConfig : public UDataAsset
{
	GENERATED_BODY()
	
public:

	//Info
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Character - Info")
	FText CharacterName;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Character - Info")
	FText CharacterDescription;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Character - Info")
	UTexture2D* CharacterPicture;


	//Fullbody (TPV) cosmetic actor
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Character - Cosmetic Actor")
	TSubclassOf<AActor> CharacterFullbodyCosmeticActor;

	//Fullbody (FPV) cosmetic actor
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Character - Cosmetic Actor")
	TSubclassOf<AActor> CharacterFullbodyCosmeticActorFPV;
};

You can assign the config to the player using this code:

APawn* Pawn = UGameplayStatics::GetPlayerPawn()
UTagCharacterConfigComponent* ConfigComponent = Cast<UTagCharacterConfigComponent>(Pawn->GetComponentByClass(UTagCharacterConfigComponent::StaticClass()));
ConfigComponent->AddCharacterModConfig(CharacterModConfig)

I don't know how do code injection but I you can add details if you want.
