On Death (Blueprint Pattern)

Event On Death (HealthComponent / Character)
   ↓
Generate Loot (LootComponent)
   → Loot Result
   ↓
For Each: Loot Result.Spawned Items
   ↓
Spawn Actor: WorldItemActor
   Location = Death Location + Random Offset
   Initialize with ItemInstance from LootedItem

Destroy Enemy
You can also choose to add items directly to a player’s inventory (for auto-loot) instead of spawning world items.

On Death (C++ Example)

void AZombie::Die()
{
    // Generate loot
    FLootResult LootResult = LootComponent->GenerateLoot();

    // Spawn world items
    for (const FLootedItem& LootedItem : LootResult.SpawnedItems)
    {
        FVector SpawnLocation = GetActorLocation() +
                                FMath::VRand() * 50.0f;  // random offset

        AWorldItemActor* DroppedItem = GetWorld()->SpawnActor<AWorldItemActor>(
            WorldItemActorClass,
            SpawnLocation,
            FRotator::ZeroRotator
        );

        FItemInstance ItemInstance;
        ItemInstance.ItemID     = LootedItem.ItemData->ItemID;
        ItemInstance.ItemData   = LootedItem.ItemData;
        ItemInstance.Quantity   = LootedItem.Quantity;
        ItemInstance.RarityTag  = LootedItem.RolledRarity;

        DroppedItem->InitializeFromInstance(ItemInstance);
    }

    Destroy();
}
