Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

[George.Xiao]

The Blend In/Out only works on Dynamic Montage / Ability Animation Node - not Single Node (it's just not supported). Personally I use the Ability Animation Node, which you can find a tutorial on how to setup here: https://extralifestudios.atlassian.net/wiki/x/BYBK

Yea, I both try Dynamic Montage / Ability Animation Node, but no use, If i use PlayAnimationMontage node in blueprint, this problem is gone, i don' t know why, then, I just compare your PlayAnimation source code with UE4's PlayAnimationMontage source code, and i can't find where is different. But switch play montage is still not smooth in Able, I'm confused.

Hmm, odd, both abilities are different names, might it be because I called them both 'Ability_[name]'? Technically both are different names, just follow the same style guide. Still having issues with the cooldowns though :/

I wouldn't think so, but I'll investigate. Can you give me the name of the Abilities so I can re-create things on my end? You can PM me them if you don't want to post them publicly.

Ability Cooldown is tied to the name of the Ability (which gets hashed). As long as the Abilities have two separate names, they shouldn't share a cooldown.

I found another problem, when i play one animation and then play another animation, this two animation not smooth switch, even if change blendin/blendout. Smooth switch animation is very important for me, i don't know how to with able.

My version is still 1.91. I had try re-launch, re-install, no effect. My god, I need 2.0 version. Is that because i'm chinese?

Have you tried removing the local content first and then re-downloading?

Sometimes the launcher doesn't get the latest version and this is typically how I solve that problem.

[George.Xiao]

Latest is 2.0. You may need to re-launch the Launcher. Update should be out (other people seem to have it... )

I've got a bit of a bug or issue, I have two separate abilities that have different cooldowns, however when I use one of them, both are put into cooldown in the same timeframe (one being 5 seconds, the other being 10), I'm trying to make it so the cooldowns are separate rather than global. Is there any way I could fix this? Cheers.

How to change Collision Sweep FireEvent in real time,not in this Collision Sweep Node 's last frame.I wan't write a skill , it like dash,but this Collision Sweep Fire Event in this end.

Sweep requires the actor to be at the end spot. It's meant for melee strikes and things like that. If you're using a dash, you could just use a query rather than a sweep that is the size of where you'll be moving. Or just assign a tag to the player for the duration of the dash that enemies check for and apply collision damage when the player overlaps them.

ExtraLifeMatt - Thank you very much ... and thank you for creating this awesome system. I have basically re-written most of my project with your system in 1 night. You sir are a legend and a gentleman.

By the way, your system works with XBOX One and Linux ... I did a test port early this morning and it is working. I will do some more tests but I haven't seen any issues or compilation errors/warnings with your system on these two platforms.

Thanks again for this system.

Awesome, thanks for the kind words and the confirmation on X One / Linux. I only had a PS4 devkit to test locally, but everything was written to be cross platform - glad that seems to be working as expected.

something wrong with the cone collision location and rotation transfrom

Yea, that's the socket rotation issue I'm currently chasing. I think it's just a bone transform space issue (so the fix should be fairly easy), but I need to confirm. It's on my list for work this weekend.
