Hi, I’ve enabled the Gameplay Abilities plugin, and I’ve noticed you have access to the AbilitySystem component straight away, with no C++ setup. I’ve made a dummy Gameplay Ability and it seems to be working.
Now, when I try to make an Attribute Set, the tooltip says “AttributeSets are added to the actors as subobjects, and then registered with the AbilitySystemComponent”.
What exactly does that mean? Is there anything still to be done in C++, or is everything working as it should?
I made an AttributeSet blueprint and made a few variables in there. And then I made a variable of that AttributeSet type in my Player Character blueprint, and it seems to be getting the variables from it just fine.
I’m not a programmer. Is that Attribute Set utilizing the Gameplay Ability System, or should I follow the tutorials and setup everything in C++? Or have I got it wrong, and that’s not the way you’re supposed to use an Attribute Set?
Thanks.
Edit:
OK, so I’ve noticed you can add the attribute sets to the Attribute Test category in the Details panel of the AbilitySystem component.
But I’ve tried to get them at runtime with GetAttributeSet and it doesn’t work:
