UCrimsonEquipmentSlotsComponent

Declares the complete slot layout for a pawn. The manager reads this to validate slot availability when EquipItem is called. Not replicated - slot layout is configured in Blueprint defaults and is assumed to be identical on server and client.

FCrimsonEquipmentSlotDefinition

Field	Type	Description
SlotTag	FGameplayTag	Identifies this slot type. Must match `EquipmentSlotTag` on `UCrimsonEquipmentDefinition`.
SlotCount	int32	How many items of this type can be equipped simultaneously. E.g. `2` for rings -> indices 0 and 1 are both valid.

Dynamic Slot Layouts

Call SetSlotLayout at runtime to change slot availability (e.g. a character who unlocks a second weapon slot mid-game). Call it server-side before any EquipItem call that uses the new slot.

cpp

// Unlock a second weapon slot at runtime
TArray<FCrimsonEquipmentSlotDefinition> NewLayout = SlotsComp->GetSlotLayout();
FCrimsonEquipmentSlotDefinition& WeaponSlot = NewLayout[0]; // find by tag in practice
WeaponSlot.SlotCount = 2;
SlotsComp->SetSlotLayout(NewLayout);

Slot Index Selection

When EquipItem is called with SpecificSlotIndex == -1 (default), the manager auto-selects the first empty index for the slot type. Pass an explicit index (0, 1, ...) to force placement in a particular slot. If that index is occupied, the existing item is unequipped first.
