Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

I fix this by marking RF_ArchetypeObject flag when adding an new ability task. Hope it work for u.

This is fixed in the latest update, I just ignore filter out the REINST and such. If I find that doesn’t solve people’s problems, then I’ll look into the Archetype Object flag.

Hello,

I’m using Able to attempt to play a particle effect on an npc. I’m using custom logic for targeting - however I cannot seem to actually have the particle effect execute on the target npc. I get a lot of crashes trying variations - so thought I should just ask rather than tear my hair out.

Our targeting and combat systems are external to able (hence the custom logic) - we’re just using a simple tab targeting mechanism at the moment.

So my ability is just a particle effect.

As I note it has custom targeting :

I’ve overriden “Find Targets”, found my target and that is being assigned to “Found Targets”.

I’m not quite sure what I should place in the Task Targets section - does Found Targets override this? (I’ve tried a few variations but none seem to work and/or crash).

Any ideas?

Target Actor should be the correct field. Turn on Verbose for that task and you should get a print out of exactly what is happening. I will note that Play Particle Effect had a couple bugs in it that are fixed in the latest version (namely with the dynamic binding always returning the static particle effect referenced in the Task, and that attached Effects on Targets didn’t work correctly).
