## Resource Harvesting Integration

Loot tables are ideal for **resources nodes** like trees and rocks. Typically you:

* Add a **LootComponent** to the actor (tree/rock/etc.)
* Assign a `LootTable`
* Configure whether it is **single-use** or **respawnable**
* Hook your harvesting logic (e.g., axe hits, mining actions) to trigger loot generation

> Exact harvest trigger is game-specific (e.g., interaction, hit count, tool usage), but the loot **definition** remains data-driven via `LootTable`.

***

### Tree Example

**Actor:** `BP_Tree`

**Components:**

* `StaticMeshComponent` (visual tree)
* `LootComponent` (handles loot generation)

**LootComponent config:**

* Loot Table: `LT_TreeLoot`
* Single Use: `false` (tree can be harvested multiple times or until destroyed)
* Minimum Rarity: `None`
* Item Level: `1` (can be used if you implement level-based scaling)

**Loot Table:** `LT_TreeLoot`

Loot Entries:

* **\[0] Wood Logs**

  * Item Data: `DA_WoodLog`
  * Drop Weight: `100.0`
  * Min Quantity: `3`
  * Max Quantity: `8`
* **\[1] Sticks**

  * Item Data: `DA_Stick`
  * Drop Weight: `50.0`
  * Min Quantity: `1`
  * Max Quantity: `3`
* **\[2] Tree Sap**

  * Item Data: `DA_TreeSap`
  * Drop Weight: `20.0`
  * Quantity: `1`

**Max Items To Spawn:** `2`\
→ Each harvest roll can yield up to 2 distinct item entries (e.g., logs + sap).

***

### Rock Example

**Actor:** `BP_Rock`

**LootComponent config:**

* Loot Table: `LT_RockLoot`
* Single Use: `true` (rock is destroyed after harvest)

**Loot Table:** `LT_RockLoot`

Loot Entries:

* **\[0] Stone**

  * Item Data: `DA_Stone`
  * Drop Weight: `100.0`
  * Min Quantity: `5`
  * Max Quantity: `12`
* **\[1] Iron Ore**

  * Item Data: `DA_IronOre`
  * Drop Weight: `30.0`
  * Min Quantity: `1`
  * Max Quantity: `3`
* **\[2] Gold Ore**

  * Item Data: `DA_GoldOre`
  * Drop Weight: `5.0`
  * Quantity: `1`
  * Rarity Override: `Item.Rarity.Rare`

**Max Items To Spawn:** `2`

**Typical flow:**

1. Player mines the rock (using your interaction / combat logic)
2. When conditions are met (e.g., HP ≤ 0, harvest threshold reached), you tell the LootComponent to **roll the table and spawn or grant items** (details of that call will be in Part 2 if you have function names there)
3. If `Single Use = true`, you destroy or replace the rock actor after loot generation
