[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

Hi, hope all is well.

Currently, I’m using the toolkit to have units prespawned for each team, i’ve dragged them onto the grid onto the appropriate starting tile, and depending on which Unit Type a player chooses from a WBP menu before the game starts, it is changing the attributes of the prespawned unit (defense, attack, Unit Name, etc) to reflect the player’s choice.

I’m looking to be extend this functionality to Unit’s abilitiies. Currently, I can change the unit’s abilities from the details panel in the ability system in the world outliner, but this would be static and would be the same no matter what the player chooses for the Unit Type.

I’d like to be able to have a unique ability to be added depending on what Unit was chosen at the beginning of the game (similarly to how unique stats and names are being set currently). I’m having trouble getting this to work, I’ve been trying to watch the first ability system video and using nodes like Add Ability, Set Array Element, Update Ability Box etc, but can’t get it to work.

Thanks!

Hey, I can see why this is a bit tricky. This functionality should probably exist as a function in the base toolkit. I have made such a function now that does what you want:

This will not show up in the ability bar until the next time UpdateInitiativeBar is called in the TurnManager, so if you run the above function on the active unit and want it to show up immediately, make sure to call that function straight after.
