Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

Right, that’s exactly why I’m using it, for the AI Decorator!

It seems to work just fine overriding the value, but now the Play Ability Task is a bit weird. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong there. I do have an UClass* set in my blackboad, with a valid ability, but it always fails. The same ability works if I feed it directly into the task, w/o the blackboard.

Here’s the AI BT info:

This is the code that sets that ability into the blackboard, pretty straigthforward:

// Get the pointer from the TSubclassOf, so we set the UClass directly.
Blackboard->SetValueAsClass(SelectedAbilityKey.SelectedKeyName, SelectedAbility.Get());

Any advice, please?

Turn on the Verbose setting in the Able settings and see if there’s anything in the output logs. Obviously the AI Owner needs to have an Able Ability Component on them, but that’s about it as far as the flow goes for that task (Grab the Ability from the Key/Field -> Grab the Ability Component from the AI -> Execute the Ability).
