  • Headshot bonus damage
  • Reusable, custom TargetActors
  • ReticleActors
  • Play replicated montages on multiple Skeletal Mesh Components belonging to the AvatarActor in an ability
  • Subclassing FGameplayEffectContext to send additional information to GameplayCues
  • Character shield that drains before health is removed by damage
  • Item pickups
  • Single button interaction system. Press or Hold ‘E’ to interact with interactable objects including player reviving, a weapon chest, and a sliding door.

This looks very useful! Having wanted to build a weapons based ability systems game for awhile this is a good learning document! Would you accept contributions or is it purely solo?

No video, sorry. There’s just lots of well commented code for people to read through, play with, and cross reference against my GAS documentation GitHub - tranek/GASDocumentation: My understanding of Unreal Engine 5's GameplayAbilitySystem plugin with a simple multiplayer sample project.
