That sounds like it might be a bit beyond my current skill unfortunately. I was hoping it would be something simple, so I could create a support card that you play like a regular card, it goes onto the board and instantly activates an ability on drop like ‘increase selected cards health by X amount’, then you select the card you want that ability to effect, checks the card is a creature or whatever, ability does its thing then gets dismissed to the graveyard. Using the rules already programmed in I could make sure the card is only played when creatures are on the board. I know all the functionality needed is spread around in the kit, but I don’t know how to transfer that information into a blueprint ability that would work as I intend.
I don’t suppose anyone has made an advanced/intermediate tutorial series for this kit have they? I’ve got all the basics down and can work with whats included, and I can create simpler abilities like ‘increase attack/damage all ‘type’ cards by ‘X’ amount’.

It is unfortunate that it isn’t a simple 3 step process. The main thing is selecting the card you wish to target that adds the complication. The ability itself would be really simple or mostly copied from other example abilities included and just telling it the card (Casting to the Controller and getting the held reference) instead of randomly selecting one.

I am not aware of any additional tutorials or content created for the toolkit, but if there is I would be really excited to hear about it!

First off this is a fantastic toolkit and makes things fun and easy.

However, I feel that the documentation needs to be a bit more comprehensive for newbies like me.

An issues I have is that I’m unable to find out how to create custom triggers for card abilities. I’ve searched around and went through the toolkit for hours but unfortunately I can’t wrap my head around every aspect of this toolkit just yet. So my questions are:

• How can I create custom triggers?
• How can I make it so when a player attacks with a card, the other player can respond before damage is dealt? (Like ‘Instant’ type cards in MTG that can interrupt player actions)

Again, thanks for this toolkit! I had wanted something like this for a looooong time.

Thanks Loose_Moose! I appreciate the feedback. I do agree, after the initial tutorials there is some assumed engine knowledge which I will keep more of an eye on moving forward.

To your questions… There are two stages for creating your own custom triggers…

1. Adding your trigger to the AbilityTrigger_Enum (/CCGToolkit/Blueprints/Enums/Gameplay_Enums/AbilityTrigger_Enum.AbilityTrigger_Enum’)
2. Calling the RunActiveAbility macro in the 3DCard actor

Once you have added the ability trigger it will appear in the macro’s list for you to call however you like. For example:

Hope this helps clear things up. Let me know If you have an further questions or feedback!
