First of all thanks for the plugin it’s great! I have couple of questions:

• What’s the best way to check if another ability is running. For example: primary and secondary weapon: you can’t fire primary weapon until secondary will finish, (I don’t want to construct new ability to check condition - this won’t be optimal)
• Why Abilities are checking input? why you haven’t created ability manager or something like that to configure inputs with abilities? (just want to know what’s your thinking)
• Why you always need a mesh when creating ability?

• You can just check if the Actor is currently playing an active ability or just blindly fire it and it’ll fail (since you can only have one active ability playing at a time).
• The only Ability portion that checks input is the Input Conditional for channeled Abilities, otherwise it’s entirely up to you how you want to bind input to an Ability - in most my examples I just explicitly bind an input to a specific Ability because it’s easier for people to understand.
• The first time you open the Editor it asks you for a Mesh for the Preview Actor which is show in the Editor, you shouldn’t be seeing it set that asset already.
