Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

[ExtraLifeMatt]

@DrTasty Looks like it’s failing to cast your scratch pad. I’ve seen this crash before, but never been able to repro it. I’ll see if I can’t through some extra info and try and make that code a bit more flexible in the meantime (I’m working on an update for later today).

Hello,

How would you go about setting up “multiple branches” based on target distance (or any other variable other than a bool)?
For instance, if distance is less than 400, branch to ability A; if distance is greater than 400 but less than 600, branch to ability B; If distance is greater than 600, do nothing.

My second question is if there’s a way to determine the end of a combo and feed that info into a behavior tree?
My current behavior tree set up gets the length of the chosen ability and delays by that length and finish execute after.
The problem I’m having with that set up is it leaves no room for branching combo abilities since the behavior tree will move on to the next thing.
I was hoping to use “On ability end” as a delegate of some kind, but i cannot bind to it. I’m pretty sure It’s just me being ignorant about the system.

You can add a Custom Branch condition and just get the distance, or add a dynamic delegate to the Custom Branch Ability, and do the distance check there and return the appropriate ability.
There is a Behavior Tree “Is Playing Ability” decorator you can use which would work in your case. There is also a “On Ability End” delegate on the Able Ability System Component that you should be able to hook into.
