Thanks! Hope it helps

Have you watched the video? It’s also called “an introduction”

Hey there, you’d could have the post process effect a certain stencil channel and then have those objects be set to that channel? Hope that helps

Anything I can improve in the future?

@@DanGoodayleUnreal hey, it was really helpful and it even compiled in the end ;) you could perhaps expand the includes section next time

Gotcha! I will do, thanks!

Glad it was entertaining at least! What do you mean you are in a dev kit and can’t access the C++ though?

​@@DanGoodayleUnrealI am making a mod for Conan exiles and their death kit prevents us from accessing the c+ Plus directly.. we can only use the visual programming nodes​

Ahh I hear you!

It’s all down to memory management, you can just have everything loaded up front and just hope people have enough memory to keep everything loaded, or you can incrementally increase the load whilst also decreasing it by freeing up data that isn’t being used still.

Also load times, if loading one asset causes another 1000 to be loaded it’ll be very very slow

@@DanGoodayleUnreal I understand that. That's my point. Everybody can tell my why hard references are BAD. But nobody ever explains when they can be GOOD. If they are always bad, why do they exist?

@johnterpack3940 they can be good too! Sometimes you want an asset to be always loaded along with the primary asset, a character mesh and the materials for example. You need both in order to correctly render it, so in that case a hard reference is good.

Very nice way to do it! Great job, would love to see the results for that

@@DanGoodayleUnreal I would love to show you, but it's not quite ready! xD I can ping you when it's presentable if you want..

@007LvB sounds good to me!

Hey there, what issues are you seeing? What version of Unreal are you on?

@@DanGoodayleUnreal why is there an attribute helper class where did all that come from?? at least take a moment to explain everything you are creating

@@the_clown I mentioned this at 4:14. In this case I've created a header file called "AttributeHelpers.h" and then created a macro which takes 4 of the Unreal Macros (`GAMEPLAYATTRIBUTE_PROPERTY_GETTER` etc) and just made them into a single line for the sake of readability. For more context you can go to Engine/Plugins/Runtime/GameplayAbilities/Source/GameplayAbilities/Public/AttributeSet.h and read the comments on line 407 -> 426. Hope that helps!

@@DanGoodayleUnreal I already figured that out after debugging for a bit it was my ide that didn't let me do it the way you did yours was written as ATTRIBUTE_ACCESSORS but mine had to be written as ATTRIBUTEACCESSORS don't know why. My current issue is that Data.Evaluate.Something keeps telling me it's an incomplete type

Amazing! Glad to hear it was useful

Heya they modified the system in 5.4 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hInYlH-Pe7SjbrM

@@DanGoodayleUnreal Thank you! Pin it, so everybody can read it.

Very true! I need to look at what this compiles too, would be an interesting comparison to see how the performance is impacted

@@DanGoodayleUnreal I just hope there is no IF in the stencil compare node :P

@@SpaceShrimp there is, lol

@@AlenHR damn... :D

Okay!

Glad it was helpful!

Unless you are buying a plugin there isn’t a way to setup GAS in blueprints. Then recommended way I’ve seen it used in big projects is C++ with blueprint abilities as I showed 👍

@@DanGoodayleUnreal yes, thanks, I was unaware of that until I saw everybody do it :D

I'm not sure that doing it by a CVar is the best option here - You'd probably want to set all of the materials you are using as "Unlit" instead of the default. If you have a main shader, set that to unlit and then use derivations of that shader for everything else it should give you that effect. That being said there is probably more to it that you'd need to do to fully disable the lighting systems.

@@DanGoodayleUnreal yeah i heard about that or creating a unlit PP material to do so but i was wondering if its possible to do it at low lvl same as the editor does. On shipping packaged builds.

You aren’t the first person to say that! I’ve been trying new settings in later videos so hopefully that’s fixed. Hope the video itself was okay

Sounds good! What kind of task are you trying to create? I found myself able to use most of the pre-made ones usually and only occasionally needed to roll my own ability task

@@DanGoodayleUnrealmy man. suubbbbbed

I sure can! Inventory systems with replication or saving and loading can be quite complicated to build. If you are looking for a quick ready made example Lyra has something that ticks those boxes already, but if you’d like something more stripped back I’ll put together a demonstration.

@@DanGoodayleUnrealI’ve been trying to get GAS to work with multiplayer as well. Since I’m new to UE, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve been trying to add abilities to my game like the ones you see in the new PS5 game, Astro Bot like double punches and jetpack boosts that are only available in certain locations/ levels. It’s been hard making the abilities, making the different AI enemies react to getting hit and making it all work with multiplayer. Would you be able to go over something like this? It would be greatly appreciated!

Part two is up now, though it just goes over creating a gameplay effect execution, I’ve been struggling to think of what a part two would be.

Volume too low?

Part two just went up, though I was struggling to find what to make it on 😄

Not sure what you mean there Araz :)
