Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

Check your output log. Are you sure your character has an Ability Component? The times when I’ve seen an ability not play it’s because of one of two issues: 1.) You have a channeling condition which isn’t valid when you preview (i.e. some key press), or 2.) You don’t have an Ability Component and adding one dynamically is not working well (for whatever reason, still debugging that one).

Also Custom Task compilation should be fixed as it’s passing my local testing. If it’s not, please give me a repro or you can upload a sample project that shows the issue here: Dropbox

Able always works for the latest 3 versions, so 4.20, 4.21, 4.22. I can’t support older versions unfortunately. There is a player discord channel (I believe I link to it in the first post), but I’m not normally on there. Here is the best place to reach me.

You can try something. Open up Able.uplugin and set the LoadingPhase for AbleEditor to “PreDefault”. That’s fixed that error before, but it causes some other issues with Able Editor Settings not being able to find game classes (since it loads things pre-game binary). But, if that fixes things then I’ll find a work around for the other.

Yup this fixed it! Thanks so much.
