i noticed (on my own things) the reason the variables dont go to the same section is becasue on some you have "AbilityDetails" and on others you have "Ability Details" (basically one with and one without a space) and becasue unreal sees a new capital letter as anew word it adds the space, but for some reason doesnt see it as the same - i mean technically its not but

Thanks for the videos I'm in the process of making my own game but, at 13:18 after assigning my animation montage it doesn't go off. Any suggestions?

I cannot get the effect to spawn for me, I have no idea what I did wrong I went back and followed the effect to the letter. The ability spawns just fine, but no effect. Edit: I did not have hidden in game turned off on the collision sphere, only on the actor itself. this tripped me up! I also went back and made sure that both the ability and effect were both children of the similarly named parent BPs. And last, I made sure there was a delay because if you dont put a delay between the foreach loop and the destroy actor, no matter how fast you spam the ability, you will never see it because it disappears so quickly.

No animations show up for me when I try to set Animation Montage. At all. And the animation I made says "not compatible with this pin". So frustrating. And now after closing it for a day and reopening, it says "Accessed None trying to read property Target" with respect to my "spawnactor" portion of the activate_ability event.

Anyone else having issues with the effect not spawning? I've been through this video and the previous one both 3 times checking to see what I did wrong and I have the exact same code it seems. Using 5.3 EDIT/FIX: So even though my Ability_Slash is a child of the Ability actor, I had to add the Activate Ability to the Event OnPlay in the Ability_Slash in order for this to function properly. Another fix was adding the call to the parent function at 14:02

I had a similar issue (im in UE4 though). When i added a breakpoint, It wasn't finding any ability effect for me. So i added the "slash" effect to the array in the abilitybase. I'll handle that later through a datatable/struct anyhow. Not sure if thats a miss or if Ryan plans on attaching them through the component later. We'll find out! :-P.

I had they same issue turns out in the can activate ability I had the Cost Value >= Value, should be the other way around, I also realized the animation will play even if Can Activate Ability returns false, so I added the can activate to my play montage on ability slash as well. Now both work or neither.

I can't get the "dummy" to be clickable at all, player char. Just runs up to the "dummy" and stops

If i move into my attack i take the dmgs, any idea how to prevent that ? Like how can i remove the launcher of the attack to take self damage ?

Now, I am only guessing, but if you are not talking about the same video same character, there is a slight chance that you have placed the scene component or actor component (I had a similar issue on a game, that I was shooting, but my scene component was colliding with my collision sphere and I was getting the damage, because all the projectiles were hiting me)

Anyone know why we create the custom event of ActivateAbility in the previous video? As far as I can see we don't actually set up how the event is triggered. My AbilityEffect wasn't being spawned (the level check function wasn't even firing) - I ended up fixing it by swapping the Custom Event out for Event BeginPlay (so when the ability is called then it starts the checks, clears and spawns the effect). Can't see why we'd need a Custom Event for that in any case; am I missing something?

ya i noticed that to, as far as i can tell you can just put it into begin play - i have no idea why he adds things you dont need

@kasperlarsson7598 5 ай бұрын

I am struggling with with the missing information on why its important to split effect and ability apart. Can you elaborate on that? Also lovely video, but an overall recap and maybe some theory talk just for 1-2 minutes would have saved 30 minutes of scrolling back and forthh on the timeline.

Reusability mostly.

@gamethingstuff Ай бұрын

I think its how one ability being able to have multiple effects: Maybe a slash ability that has both poison damage and lighting area of effect for example. Splitting them makes then modular so different abilities could use the same effect as well. Basically it allows you to mix and match.
