The v2.19 update has gone live on the Marketplace.
New Features:
I. Added a new Global Ability: Regen Field. All Towers within the field regenerate their HP over time.
II. Added unique deployment options for Global Abilities. “The DT_GlobalAbilities”
data table now has a new parameter “TargetVerificationTag” that enables each Global Ability to be individually configured for activation only on certain types of target actors.
To enable an ability to be deployed on certain actors, just add the same tag to their list of Actor Tags as shown below:
An example use case for having unique tags would be to enable the Airstrikes ability to be deployed only on enemy paths, while activation of Regen Field can be limited to only tower grid cells.
Additional Notes:
I. Search for Version2_19 in the blueprint editor to identify the new changes in this update.
