Common Ability Tag Relationship Mapping
What is AbilityTagRelationshipMapping?
UAbilityTagRelationshipMapping is a UDataAsset that managed mapping of how ability tags block or cancel other abilities. Without using AbilityTagRelationshipMapping, you have to make your own system by using and overriding UAbilitySystemComponent's
virtual void ApplyAbilityBlockAndCancelTags(const FGameplayTagContainer& AbilityTags, UGameplayAbility* RequestingAbility, bool bEnableBlockTags, const FGameplayTagContainer& BlockTags, bool bExecuteCancelTags, const FGameplayTagContainer& CancelTags) override;
and UGameplayAbility 's
virtual bool DoesAbilitySatisfyTagRequirements(const UAbilitySystemComponent& AbilitySystemComponent, const FGameplayTagContainer* SourceTags, const FGameplayTagContainer* TargetTags, FGameplayTagContainer* OptionalRelevantTags) const override;
How do we use AbilityTagRelationshipMapping in CommonGAS?
In CommonGAS, you have to make your own AbilityTagRelationshipMapping set and filling all of gameplay tag interactions required for you game
To do this, you need to find Miscellaneous-DataAsset and choose UCommonAbilityTagRelationshipMapping. After that, you will be greet with this:
To apply this relationship, you need to find your ACharacters->ACommonModularCharacter blueprint character class CDO under CommonGAS->Character->Abilities->AbilityTagRelationshipMapping and add your relationship mapping.
