Able Ability System Info and Support Thread

Right i tried it on UE4 4.20 / 4.21. Installs fine.
I can view animations and all in single node its fine, I can even use it in game.

Since we going in circles here, Its nothing to do with the function of the plugin as it works fine.

Its choosing an animation and problem is swapping to another animation in drop down.
I click on another animation but it just does not change, I tried it on new clean project and same thing.
I uninstalled the plugin from epic games and reinstalled it again.

Its the drop down box that does not change animation.
The only thing i gotta do is to remove animation and add animation and choose another one this way.


Can you try it out matt and tell me what happens when you try and change animation.
Check photo below
Add able file, Add task, Play animation, Pick an Animation. Highlight the animation bar.
Click task propertys then under animation pick a new one from dropdown.
Please tell me if it changes at your end.

I am using 4.20/4.21 and both clean projects.

Does not change at all so deffo something wrong stays as same anim.

I saw you change things to dynamic montage from Single Node, if you keep it at Single Node, does it work as expected? There may be something with the montage system.

I have emailed it over to Feedback@extralifestudios.com address. Cant remember your other address and cant find it

Perfect, Thanks Jesse!

So, in your video, I never see you hit the "Play" button in the toolbar at the top once you select your Animation (which causes the Ability to play itself). Automatically playing the animation after being selected could be done, but it could be a bit weird because people may not want to automatically play the ability just because you swapped an animation.

I didn't get any audio in your video, but I assume that's your issue? Or am I misunderstanding?

You may need to save the ability before the Animation will play (but that should happen behind the scenes when you go to play it). You can turn on the "Verbose" option for that task and see what Animation it says it's trying to play. I'd be curious to see your output as I've never had that issue reported to me.

I'll share more on 3.0 as I'm ready. It's turned into a rather meaty update, and I think people will enjoy it.

Hi matt, Since i cant seem to explain this and you have not seen this error before, I have just made you a video to show you the issue.

Can you Check your E-Mail as i will email you the video over of the error.

Thank you

Hi

I have reinstalled this plugin again recently.
I have this Bug / problem with Play Animation task.

When I either select Null or select an animation, I would like to change animation and see different ones.
When i do this, it does not change to the animation in scroll down.
Please can you have a look into this. Thank you

Are you saying you would like it to instantly play the animation while you are scrolling through? Or you simply aren't seeing any animation play after you select one and hit Play?

EDIT: I'm also working on the 3.0 update which will have some very cool things hopefully people enjoy. Hoping to get it out before the New Year.
