Hey,

I’ve come across a strange behaviour when using Able inside an ActorComponent.

UCombatComponent


void UCombatComponent::PerformBasicAttack()
{
    UAblAbilityComponent* AbilityComponent = MyCharacterOwner->GetAbilityComponent();
    if (!ensure(AbilityComponent != nullptr)) return;

    // Create Able Context
    UAblAbility* attack = BasicAttack->GetDefaultObject<UAblAbility>();
    if(attack == nullptr) { UE_LOG(LogTemp, Error, TEXT("BasicAttack couldn't get Ability Object from given class")); return; }

    UAblAbilityContext* context = UAblAbilityContext::MakeContext(attack, AbilityComponent, GetOwner(), GetOwner());
    if(context == nullptr) { UE_LOG(LogTemp, Error, TEXT("Couldn't create AbleAbilityContext")); return; }

    // Execute Ability
    AbilityComponent->ActivateAbility(context);
}

Log

Basically moved the code from the Character to it’s own Component. Using it directly from the Character worked fine, but calling it on an ActorComponant results in a crash.

I couldn’t find a flaw in my code (yet), maybe you know more than I do :smiley:
