How to use SetByCaller on Gameplay Effects?

[DannRees]

Hi there,

I would rather store the cost of an ability as a variable on the ability itself, instead of creating a cost gameplay effect for each ability.

So I’d like to have one cost effect which I can change the magnitude based on the ability that applied the effect to the owner. It seems like I should use “SetByCaller” but I have no idea how to use it.

I found AssignSetByCallerMagnitude function in AbilitySystemBlueprintLibrary but where do I get the FGameplayEffectSpecHandle to pass into the function?

Any and all help appreciated.

Many thanks

Dann
