Able v3.67 submitted, notes below:

Able v3.67

Targeting Shapes will now show debug drawing like Queries / Sweeps / Raycasts. To enable (or disable) the drawing, click the “Draw Targeting Shapes” option on the Ability under the Targeting Section.

Refactored Raycast debug drawing to just use a Start / End point to match the Raycast call itself. This should clear up any inconsistencies between the two.

Added “World” Target Type to all the Ability Targeting Location structs. This value simple returns the Offset + Rotation without any additional math. As the name implies, this expects that values to be in World Space.

Added “Recopy Parent Tasks” to the Timeline drop down in the Ability Editor. This will re-copy any Parent tasks into the Child. Note: This is a very “dumb” copy so if the Parent tasks are already in your Ability, you’ll likely end up with dupes.

Added “Reset for Instance” options to Tasks. This option causes Tasks to stop and re-start (including calling all relevant script calls) when an Ability iteration (e.g., loop) occurs. By default, this is set to True. If you don’t want your Task to stop each time an iteration occurs, you can set this option to false and it’ll carry over as is.

Added “Use End Location” for Raycast Tasks to be explicit when they want to use the End Location value rather than the length value. You now have to enable this field to edit the End Location field.

Renamed “Section” to “Montage Section” on Play Animation Task. This is just a display change.

Added “Montage Section On End” to Play Animation Task. This will cause your animation to jump to the named section when the Task ends. Note this happens INSTEAD OF blending out. Setting it to “None” will disable this feature (default).

Fixed a bug where On Ability Interrupt wasn’t called properly when interrupting a currently running Ability.

Fixed a bug where Listen Servers were failing Input conditionals, regardless of if they had window focus. This is a pretty scary change given that it’s in a core method, so let me know if you see anything weird.

Updated Discord Icon to use the new branding guidelines to prevent Lawyer aggro.
