Gameplay Ability System in Multiplayer Games || Damian Nowakowski || Dark Point Games S.A.

The gameplay Ability System (GAS) in UE4 is a powerful tool, yet it is still poorly documented. Many struggles to learn it and understand what is its purpose. One of the biggest strengths of GAS is that it solves many problems gameplay programmers and designers might encounter when working on a multiplayer game. In this talk, I will show how gameplay can be implemented with GAS and how to configure it so it will work flawlessly over the network.

Errata. Author of the talk here. After few months we've discovered that using Optional Objects to pass custom payload doesn't work on packaged builds. We use Target Data for custom payload and it works properly in every situation :)

@@zompi2 ​ Mhm watched that one before already, even double-checked the link as You mentioned it within the presentation :) It is a nice overview but Yours was the first I found to more tackle the specifics of the GAS networking :)

@zompi2 The talk was very helpful! Also, I think you went above and beyond by adding the errata. Thank you!

Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you just use the same initialisation method for both AI and Player characters? We know that both will be possessed or replicated, so surely you can initialise them both in the same way, allowing you to have the same level of certainty of controller existence for the AI characters that you do for player characters? I assume I'm just missing something, or haven't gotten far enough in the video yet, but I wanted to jot this question down before I forgot it! 😊

Excellent talk. The amount of information you covered in one hour talk is really worthy every minute. It saves lot of time for people having good experience with UE but no idea abut GAS.

This Conference was the easiest to understand GAS prediction video I've ever seen!!
