Hello,

I’m still running into issues where the AI never stops assessing abilities. The error says it is thrown in update attributes, but I think it is constantly comparing it with another ability of equal value. I’ve logged the assessed value and it is 0, so I would assume the AI would pass its turn. But it just reassesses. How can I ensure they stop their assessment loop?

Edit: I verified all of the abilities it considers tie for 0. I guess it would still prefer to do one over the other, and continues to loop. Is there a good place in the BP_Ability BP to address this globally?

This will cause them to do nothing when they could but it does stop my error I think. I actually moved it directly after the branch.

Hi, I’ve confirmed this issue on a fresh project now. If an AI unit with the ability system gives all abilities a value of 0 it does indeed cause an infinite loop. I would solve this in the same way you have done it, just that I would exhaust the unit before FinTurnManager. Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention. I will submit a hotfix.

Hi ,

Sorry, we’re still having issues with the tile meshes spawning out of bounds of the grid. We can’t figure out how to use the new UpdateTilesInRange function to supposedly prevent this. In the blueprint below of our tile mesh would you have any idea? They spawn just fine where we want them to in relation to the other tile meshes. I posted a gif link below of how it is going out of bounds. Unless I am misunderstanding its purpose and there is no way to ever go out of the 100x100 grid and we need to use another method to simply not allow spawning them at the border of the gird?

Did you follow my previous instructions exactly? Did you place the GridManager at location 0,0,0 (with a GridSizeX and GridSizeY of 1) and a subgrid at location 100000,100000,0 (and use this subgrid as your starting location by placing a unit there)?
