Lyra Damagable Actor based on LyraCharacterwithAbilites

[BA_Eric]

Hello, im currently trying to set up a gameplay-prototype based on the Lyra framework.
Currently i am stuck with the following:

I created an enemy-dummy with the ‘Lyra Character with Abilities’ as parent class. Im initalizing the health component of the Dummy following this tutorial:

Lyra: How to damage a cube (or non-cube) | Community tutorial

Whenever the health-component has a change its supposed to sput out a short message and set a healthbar widget above the actor (which works on the initalization)

My problem is now that the Dummy is completly unresponsive to GameplayEffects that i want to apply to it with the melee ability i’ve created.

Im not using any of the ShooterCore content and im not sure where to go from here, most tips point into modifing the C++ classes/code which i have no clue about.

I can show you how to do it in C++, I don’t really use BP much so I’m not sure what it supports and what it doesn’t.

Check out @BastianDev’s work for help with Lyra BP stuff, he is focusing exclusively on BP:

Community Tutorial: Using Lyra as a basis for a game - BP only, no C++

I will start a series here along my journey to create a small demo game based on Lyra. Epics recommends to use it as basis, I am a humble follower of X157 who convinced me on that path - I develop code for decades, but never games until now. So follow me, stumbling along my path to use Lyra as a toolbox to create a new game. This will be a BluePrint only journey, no C++ will be used. I will create an infographics for easier recollection - similar to Epics infographics that I always found quit…

For the C++ solution (including a video explaining the C++ bits):
