Yes, ive figure out that after all your update your UI may have changed.
Maybe some new tutorial is a good idea too.
You should let us download your TPersoncharacter template too
Thanks for your time updating all this⌠ive bough your product last weekend⌠and to be honest its a nightmare to follow tutorial that shows a different UI⌠hard to figure out what we do wrong when we dont get what you get on your video lol
For instance, your âcreating a simple ability tutorialâ⌠you dont have the same prompt on the screen.
I remember switching the version of the engine to your templateâŚ(right click on project file). maybe i should have open it normally and let UE4 recompile as im usually doing when dealing with outdated/new engine version plugins.
Just a reminder that i do think your optimization alone worth every penny of your product⌠but its really hard to find tutorial or other people making video using your product and searching for able ability give a lot of tutorial regarding the builtin ability system of UE4 âŚnot yoursâŚ
having your own discord will help having a community helping each other and saving you time. (if you are not familiar with discord, i can help you administrating it).
Regarding your machine gun, i mistyped⌠i mean in your video we see VFX⌠decal⌠at the moment, you only have the gun animation workingâŚi dont see any other visual effect.
Note: in the marketplace page, you give a link to a tutorial (creating a simple ability i think)⌠this link is not public⌠so when people get on your youtube page from the other linkâŚwe dont see this kinda important tutorial on your youtube page. It tooks me a day to notice that lol
And people are talking about showroom⌠i dont think ive seen the download link (except recently, from a commentâŚi think) you should put all your video on the store page and on the first post of this forum.
So the Store page actually has a very small text limit and Iâm pushing against it hard. That said, Iâll try and clean things up and link all the projects in one place (likely on able.extralifestudios.com and have the store page link to that).
Most things are already using URL shorteners. The problem is the count is the RAW character count, not the formatted character count. So even all those hidden links still go against the limit. That said, I want to do a store page refresh and just use a large image for the main body followed by a series of links for tutorials, samples, etc. Just gotta bully my artist buddy for some time.
Kinda stupid question, but how do I reference the user of the ability? Iâm trying to cast to my character in the ability, but I am not sure how to get the character for the âobjectâ input of the cast.
@ where goes DynamicBranchAbility and OnGetBranchAbility function? Iâm using combo system which need to pick which ability to branch to and I see that in new version there is no dynamic branchâŚ
I see there is FGetAblAbility - but how to use it in C++ not in BPs?
I have my own Ability class (in c++) extending from UAblAbility and earlier I could just override OnGetBranchAbility function and point to my combo system.
OnGetBranchAbility is deprecated (or should be). Just add the Function Binding by clicking on the + next to the Ability on the branch task.If you want to do it in C++ just basically copy the name of the method you would get in blueprints, add it to your Ability class, and make sure itâs a UFUNCTION.
You can step through the BindDynamicProperties method on the Branch task to watch it try and find the method.
I found an issue with tasks when interrupting abilities.
Repo:
Create active ability with collision check and damage check in the middle of the ability. Add some animation to ability and disable âstop on interruptâ,
Run this ability, then after a small delay cancel active ability,
You will see that collision check and damage will execute even when ability is canceled. As far I can see (ablAbilityInstance) you are cancelling only active tasks, so other tasks in ability can still go even when ability is interrupted.
Then thatâs weird Maybe âAdd some animation to ability and disable âstop on interruptââ is doing something. Another thing that I have is branch to another ability in the end of this ability to create combo. Maybe branch. Donât know but for sure itâs executing as I can see damage and sweeps in debug.
Hey there I have a couple of bugs you might want to look at.
Bug1:
When playing two animations within one ability if the animations start/end times are too close (not overlapping), the second animation wont play. (This may be an issue with how Iâm interfacing with my AnimGraph).
Bug2:
If i have created an animation task, and assign an animation montage i am unable to re-assign that animation to a sequence. It acts as if it will, but it doesnât change.
Bug#1 sounds very much like an AnimGraph bug. Iâd double check your anim blueprint setup. Also Montages donât tend to blend on top of each other well (for whatever reason), so if youâre using that you may want to try the Ability Animation Node instead.
Bug#2 Iâve seen this off and on. Never been able to track down why itâs occurring. That field is marked as Edit Anywhere, so you should always be able to rebind it to whatever. Iâll look at it again.
I have a question about the new version of AbleAbility plugin.
At âUAblAbility* OnGetBranchAbilityBPâ I have this information: âAbility overrides for specific task fields are deprecated and will be removed in a future update. Please move any logic to the dynamic field functions.â
Can anyone tell me what exactly âdynamic field functionsâ are and how to replace those mentioned earlier âUAblAbility* OnGetBranchAbilityBPâ.
Earier we used it very often, but now we can not use it in connection with information that in the future update it will be removed. Is it known whether it will be replaced or just removed?
I would be grateful for any response and help
Woody
The new way is to simply open up the Branch Task, hit the + symbol, which will spawn the dynamic binding. Ableâs 3.0 update changed the system from doing function overrides to use more dynamic bindings. Itâs simply easier for new users to understand.
I have no plans to remove the old functionality just yet(or even soon), but it is technically deprecated (which is what that warning is meant to convey).
Iâm trying to create an ability where the ability plays at a point where the target is looking. Kind of like a targeted area of effect, but there is no pawn target to grab the location of. How would I go about using the location as an ability target?
