  1. Dude you are really insane, thanks for all the tips, all the hours of work and explanations , thanks a looooooooooot you give us the opportunity to express our creativity, thanks dude !!

  3. I need help, i followed the first 4 parts of this tutorial series and everything was working perfectly but after i saved and closed the project to continue the next day once i opened the project attacking and sprinting don't seem to be working at all. There are no animations or anything happening.

  9. Why do you not set breakpoints at specific places in the blueprints to debug? Much easier than "Print String" and you can examine variable values too.

  10. I love these videos! I have learned more in the last few days watching your videos than I have trying to decipher the ActionRPG example in the past few months.

  12. What's the difference between creating an ability to cause damage to player vs creating a line trace damage function and calling it and adding spell fx??? And replicating it?

    This ability system seems incredibly complicated and does almost the same thing as line trace dmg ? I'm still new so please help me understand thank you for your videos

  14. In general, what are the necessary steps for implementing a new ability using UE4 gameplay ability system (GAS) regardless of how the gameplay is designed?

  15. Hi, i have a problem that the action happens twice, when i trow first the animation is player by me damaging me and then at the AI but no damage. code looks the same as yours.
    thx

  17. Yo Everything is working perfect except for the damge dealt.. it seems like it does damage to the NPC's only when it wants to .. Sometimes when I throw the projectile it does damage and sometimes it doesn't. Help .. ;c

  18. 1. Is this easy to integrate into an existing project?

    2. is this single player friendly? I'm building a single player open world game.

    3. Do I need to parent to your classes if all I really need access to is the Ability system? I've been doing my head in staring at Action RPG for for the last couple days and my god is it obtuse, like every class wraps around back on top of itself, it's impossible to find the end of the snake and work your way back.

  21. the first ability is complex ability… 100500 blueprints, effecs, tags, cue, abilities, two bullets… for one skill… this hardcore for one skill?
    no gas it is simplier

  22. In part 3 you talked about view distance, but I cant find out in where you change this ? In my map (4 tiles) they load and unload all the time.. I want them all to load togheter.

  23. Ive gone through the video about 5 times now and cannot see where Ive gone wrong. The animation plays but no projectile comes out and no effects happen. At a complete loss on this one been working on it for at least 3 hours rewatching every second of the video and I dont see any difference between your code and mine. Any help would be appreciated!

  25. So I have followed this series to a perfect T up this point ( aside from using my own map instead of the blank 9 tile you provided,) I have run through the video once just watching, again setting it up along side you, and now 2 more times checking everything, ( it does get a bit confusing with the dumping of the hit effect BP ) but at this point i am sure my blue prints match your perfectly, How ever one major problem with the results

    None of my particle systems spawn. Character does the casting animation, cool down takes it time before i can recast, but nothing comes out, and since the dmg is based upon my projectiles collision no damage, no second particle spawn for the hit. If anyone has any ideas on this please help. I am stuck on this one, I cant see any reason for it not to spawn the projectile.

  26. Hi
    I'm having an issue with my health bars updating. I am running UE4.21. I've reviewed the video, triple checked everything to match yours, as well as my own print string troubleshooting, which verifies everything is activating and working correctly. However, my health bars still aren't updating. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this?
    Thanks again for the tutorials, I'm self taught, and your insight is invaluable.
    – Hope

  27. So been through the video several times now and for some reason i cannot get the ground effect to work. I can get the ball that i throw at them but not the ground effect. Any idea what part of the prints might have something to do with that?
    *Figured it out had to move WorldStatic, WorldDynamic, Pawn and PhysicsBody into block on spheres in projectile BP's.*

  30. Using 4.21 I cannot apply damage. I cannot see anywhere that I differ from what you have shown and it definitely runs the ApplyGameplayEffectTotTarget (I have a print string after it and before the completed for loop which indicates the amount of targets – it's accurate and the 'dissolve' effect shows on the effected NPCs) – for some reason the LightGrenadeAOEDamage just does not apply…
    EDIT: I'm getting somewhere – when playing with 2 characters, if I attack the 2nd character the attacking character sees the effect, but the receiving character does not. This means that the server isn't actually applying any damage?

  32. Can you do a melee attack? I can't seem to get it to work. It works fine if I do server side, but if I run as dedicated server, it doesn't apply the damage to the target. Need to see how you would set that up

  34. At the end my ability makes sometimes damage sometimes not and I need to shoot maybe 10 times before to make any damage . I don't see where a make a mistake .

  36. Was looking at the gameplay notify static class and it has #include "GameplayCueNotify_Static.generated.h" where the source file is not found in the (at least my) solution.
    This makes red squiggly lines under lines like this, maybe this is why the OnExecute thing is not triggering correctly? I am a noob though, just scratching my head 😀
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintNativeEvent, BlueprintPure, Category = "GameplayCueNotify")
    bool OnExecute(AActor* MyTarget, const FGameplayCueParameters& Parameters) const;

  39. yeah very interesting video series . only small gripes is you are showing us how to make the ability but not really explaining what any of it does as you are doing it. i know you go over this in a different video but it would be nice to see how it all links together as your doing it. The other thing is yes i understand that you are promoting your system but would have been nicer if you did this with just a normal project because otherwise people not using your project cant follow along as we wont have them custom functions you created or even know why you created them etc.other than that awesome stuff thanks
