Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

[jimmay.10]

I can check, but there should be no difference between passives and actives when it comes to playing particle effects. I use particles as one of my test cases since it’s so easy to setup. One of the demos in the Showcase project actually has a looping passive that is just a particle effect.

You could put a breakpoint in ablPlayParticleEffectTask and see if it’s getting called on the client. Otherwise I’ll try this out later this week.

OK, it may have more to do with the way we were launching the passive more than the passive itself. We have an active ability (team haste) that you use to activate the passive on multiple actors. The active ability was using the PlayAbility task, which only executes on the server. If I instead use a custom event task on the team haste ability that runs on client and server, then in the custom event iterate over each target actor calling ActivateAbility with the passive ability object, pfx work on client and server.
