GameplayAbility vs custom system for a melee combo mechanic

[LXFrontier]

Yeah, it can be used to drive pretty much any kinds of “actions” and “interactions” players and other kinds of things can perform in a very organized/data-driven way.

The lack of official docs is a bummer, indeed. The wiki article is a good starting point, but to make full use of it I strongly recommend setting aside some time to do some experiments and step through the source code to get some idea of how things are glued together. The whole way it deal with input activation and prediction, for example, is very inspiring.

Well, I’ve decided to go ahead with GameplayAbility to control all my player’s actions. If I understand correctly, GA is an entire system to drive the activation behind a player’s actions. Once I understand it well enough, perhaps I could add an extensive entry or a tutorial.
