Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

Hey there, just bought Able and i’m loving it so far. I like how easy it is to set up an ability and have it fire off but I have a tutorial request for something I haven’t been able to figure out myself after watching your others.

Some sort of charge system, it could be a railgun, hold the trigger to charge and release to fire, or spell like thing where you hold to cast and when it’s 100% it fires. Maybe even a megaman blaster type where depending on how long you hold, it changes the type of projectile spawned.

For that last one I guess it’s pretty easy to just branch off to a couple different abilities. but the charge part, how do you get the “player held down attack for ‘x’ seconds”?

Also thanks for all your hard work.

Set up 2 Abilities:
1.) The Charge Ability with a input condition that checks for the charge button and continually loops at the very end, so let’s say its a 2 second charge - the loop would start at 1.75s and end at 2.0s.
2.) When the condition fails and OnAbilityInterrupt/OnAbilityEnd is called, check the Ability Time Ratio (which gives you a value of 0 - 1 on when the Ability failed, timewise), and if its greater than 0.8 or whatever - branch to the full charge shot, otherwise do nothing.
