GAS "Add Loose Gameplay Tags" adds multiple instances of the tag

Using GAS’s “Add Loose Gameplay Tags” node adds one “instance” of this tag per execution. So if we add this tag 10 times to the actor, we have to remove it 10 times as well to actually remove it.

How can I ensure only one of these instances exists at a time?

Here is the screen of the header for 5.3

Your options are:

  1. use Count param on deletion with value = infinity (99999 or any other number you’ll never reach)
  2. use SetLooseGameplayTagCount() with NewCount equal to 1 and 0 instead of add & removal

Generally i suggest to take a look at ASC header, as it usually have all the answers you’ll need. And if you need something deep - you always may delve into implementation

Super helpful information!

Quick question though, is SetLooseGameplayTagCount setting the current count or the count cap?

Edit: Nvm, idk why I didn’t just look in the class itself. It does indeed set the “Current” count.

Thanks again
