[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

Hey , congrats on being a Doctor now (a bit late to the cheers, I know).

Thanks! Also a bit late on my reply, sorry. Still catching up on some of the stuff I pushed forward due to my PhD work.

So you know I’ve been eyeing your Ability System videos and putting timemarks, and now I was trying to get my hands dirty in abilities to see for myself some points.

Yeah, I saw that. Thanks again!

was trying to re-create the counterattack ability you made in this post by duplicating the MoveAttack ability and adding that additional branch you talk about in ExecuteAbility(). It seems to work fine for AI units, but apparently if the unit is player-controlled, the Branch never comes out as True, and thus skips the counterattack.

Using breakpoints I found that in those failed cases Target Index has a value of 0. Do you know why could be?

The branch I added looks like this, though again, afaik I just copied 1:1 what you made before:

Cheers! Hope you’re doing awright.

I think there might be a naming conflict here that is causing trouble. There are two TargetIndex variables here. One is the one stored in the ability itself. Another is the one stored as a local variable in the function (blueprint functions automatically converts input variables to local variables). I think you’re using the TargetIndex variable of the main blueprint instead of the local one of the function. As the AI and player store the target index differently, I’m guessing this fails in one of the cases. This is my bad for not naming them differently. If you right click the graph and search for the TargetIndex variable select the lowest one that is least indented. That should be the local variant.
