Unreal Engine 5 Tutorials: Gameplay Ability System in Unreal 5.4 + Gameplay Effect Executions.
In my previous video on the Gameplay Ability System (GAS) I went over the fundamentals of the system.
In this video I'm going to talk about Effect Executions, what they are and when you'd want to use them. I'll then show you how to get an incoming / outgoing damage multiplier setup using it.

My goal was to have the first 5 minutes of gameplay ready to play by the 19th of December. I _think_ I've hit it. You can play from a mission, from start to finish, in Tales from the Dome. After the holidays I'll be polishing up the build and stomping the remaining bugs before getting it up on steam for the first playtesters. I've also been thinking about the long-term plans for the studio, the...

I hit another milestone today - the name of the game is "Tales from the Dome" AND I've been able to implement an AI simulation layer into the game I'm calling the "Living World". Inspired by the A-Life AI system in S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the characters are simulated even when the player isn't in the same area as them. They have their own goals to achieve in the world, making the player into just anothe...

At 5:25ish when your character does that animation thats been put into a soft reference. Does the soft reference leave memory again now that you've activated it? Or is it now permanently loaded now that you've called it once? If it immediately goes back to being unloaded than great! If not then whats the point? Sure the loading time of the game at the beginning is gonna be longer. I'm new at this so just trying to get good habits early. Thank you so much Danny for the video!
it's only 20 minutes that you have to watch 3 times while pausing it for total of 1440 minutes ;)
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!
This is not pixel sorting, but it is a free alternative.. so.. cudos to you
I work in a devkit so cannot access the C++ code etc.. this was awesome to watch though!
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!
Hi,How to use GAS for refining, tempering, and enchanting attributes in Diablo 4?
I've seen 462 videos on this topic so far. But none of them help me understand when you would/should use hard references. Are there any actual guidelines, or is it just kinda "try it and see"?
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.
This is golden, bro! xD For my own purposes, I added a sample from scene depth (pixel effect gets really ugly to look at from greater distances). So something like "SceneDepth / 8000000 -> Saturate -> Lerp(4, 0.5)" which then replaces the "PixelationAmount" parameter. I also set the Blendable Location of the material to be "Scene Color After DOF" so I could read the scene depth texture. Very great results, and looks very un-"Unreal", which is also great! :D
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!
wow ..
great tutorial, quick and easy to understand+follow, but this isn't really pixel sorting
your guide is great but i'm having a lot of trouble setting up my project to be similar to the starting point yours is at at the start of the video
Hey there, what issues are you seeing? What version of Unreal are you on?
do we need the github code for this?
I recently got asked about this during a job interview! Thanks for covering it!
Amazing! Glad to hear it was useful

@@DanGoodayleUnreal Thank you! Pin it, so everybody can read it.
great tips, but using a IF node is costly. Using a stencil compare node could be more efficient :)
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
Can you please explain why (@4:38 +/-) you connected input of conversion pin to the "Montage to play" output and not to the Async Loader's "Complete" output? To my understanding, since the loader is async loader you would simply "fire" conversion pin too early, no?
Hey Dan thanks a lot for the tutorial. I have a little question thou. When I async load a soft class reference, do I not need to get the handle and unload/cancel it? Also what will happen if I async load a soft class reference in a struct?
C++ eh?! That's gonna make me subscribe!! For some reason every Windows IDE I use works for a while then tells me all my code failed. But I'll get back to learning C++ one day.
This is a lecture bud not a tutorial
Okay!
Thank you so much, this wss very easy to understand!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm trying to figure how to make a differnet charcter select where they have different abilties for example one might have a dash. one might have a double jump so on.
I'm having a bit of a problem trying to figure out how to make some gameplay effects do percent health damage and how to make certain effects do a special effect when it reaches max stacks, such as detonating doing a certain percent damage and then removing all the stacks. I'm still trying wrap my head around programming in C++ since I'm mainly used to BP and C# with Unity.
I though that recommended way was to do it in BP, and I see c++ tutorial At least show which files you edit...
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
is it possible to set veiwmode to unlit by maybe this CVars on a shipping build on config files? ShowFlags Cvars seem to be striped out.
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.
your audio volume needs to come way up
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
Maybe a great option for a follow up GAS video would be to demonstrate how to create custom ability task. I went thought GAS after your first video and found that ability tasks are the only more complicated parts of the system. :)
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
Still on the melee subject… I was wondering if you could maybe share some ideas on how you manage equipment and weapon switch with GAS replication. I’ve been doing some experiments but haven’t found a solid approach. Awesome content! Keep it up!
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.
Will there be a Part 2 and possibly Part 3?
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.
i can't hair you
Volume too low?
when is the part 2?????????
Part two just went up, though I was struggling to find what to make it on 😄
so, just enable plugin and code area opens up?
Not sure what you mean there Araz :)
do you might consider putting this project on git ? its great but hard to follow where i am lacking headers or definitions.. i know its pretty hard to keep everything in mind, for me its just a nice to have thing
The latest video has everything up on GitHub 👍
Hi Dan. I´ve notived something strange. I´ve hooked a soft reference variable (anim montage) to a blueprint interface. In the bp that receives the interface message, I dont have to load the montage into memory, I can just pass it into the play montage node. Where does the anim montage get loaded?
So the blueprint interface requires a hard ref and you are pass in a soft ref? If you try and do that it'll do a cast from soft to hard ref (in blueprint it'll look like a light blue dot changing to a darker blue dot). If the asset has been loaded previously (and is still loaded) it'll resolve to the correct asset, however if it hasn't been loaded it'll return a nullptr. This can lead to odd behavior in cooked builds, as you may load the asset without knowing in the editor (you can load an asset in the editor just by double clicking it), but in a cooked build that asset may not be loaded.
@@DanGoodayleUnreal Hi. Thanks for the reply. No, I passed a soft ref in the interface. In my player bp I defined the soft variable "deathanimmonatge" (and entered the anim montage) and hooked it up to a interface function (soft ref) . My gameplay abilty uses the interface to pick up the montage. But I can just hook up the interface node in my ability bp to the play montage node and the anim play without having to load the asset. I haven´t opened the montage in the editor, so I don´t know why I´m am not getting a nullpt :-/ . very odd..
Could you grab some screenshots and post them here? Feel free to retract whatever you'd like, but it'll be helpful to debug things - and for anyone curious reading the comments :)
@@unreal_metronomus678 Cook the game in development mode and log whether the soft ref is valid when you aren't expecting it to be. The editor is super unreliable when it comes to debugging stuff held in memory. If it is valid and it shouldn't be, there's a 100% chance the asset is being hard-referenced elsewhere, which you can use the reference viewer to check.
@@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs Yes, after restarting the computer for a couple of times, I I got an error message that the asset wasn’t loaded ( correct behaviour) . Hmm, yes, you are right about the editor being unreliable sometimes .. anyway, thanks for your reply.
Earned a sub. Really very well explained, thanks a lot!
Awesome, thank you!
I do not have this damn async node, Unreal 5.3 I have in no blueprints been able to call this async node. What in the heck am I supposed to do.
Which async node are you after? I think that was on the version before (can’t check right now I’m travelling)
Thanks for the great tutorial! Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks for watching!
Any plans for a part 2? this was a really helpful video!
Soon! I’ll be going over the new upgrades, some common patterns and gotchas 👍
Thank you for this video this was extremly helpful since you also showed in C++!
Glad it was helpful!
Looks great. Thanks for explanation!
No problem!
As someone who has no idea what you said, 80% of the video lol it was still enough to give me hope that i can learn this.
You can learn it! Are you just starting out?
@DanGoodayle ya just been messing around with shooters but wanted more Strategy and rpg. So this is exactly what I want but never done plug-ins or coded so we shall see how much hair I have left after learning this 🤣🤣🤣
@saboogly gotcha! Best of luck, lots to learn but take it a day at a time.
my health isn't clamped it goes above max and below 0
Post a gist of your code and I’ll try and help 👍
@@DanGoodayleUnreal It's fine I sorted it out. I'm currently hopping between tutorials so I had a few things I needed to change.
Great video. I love the fact that you show both blueprints and C++. Hope you continue making more!:)
Thanks, will do!
Hi, how exactly did you handle dealing damage? In GE you change Damage Attrbiute - shouldn't damage attribute be responsible for calculating how much damage WE are dealing, and we instead, should be modyfing Health attrbiute, by whatever damage attribute value we are having?
Good question! I usually use the damage as a meta attribute on the target, then when the damage attribute changes it then modifies the health attribute. That way if I have things like armor or shields as an attribute I can then take from those attribute first before modifying the health. That way when you only need to apply “damage” to a target, knowing that shield and armor stats are handled with it. Even if you don’t have those extra attributes right now, having that split means you don’t have to remake all of your effects in the future if you do actually add them. I also use an execution modifier on the effect to modify the outgoing damage by incoming / outgoing damage modifier’s so I can add global modifiers to a character (like a 2x damage buff)
This is great, I had changed some skeletal meshes I wanted to load to a soft reference but they weren't loading, the async load node was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Glad it could help!
This was very insightfull cant wait for the network part of the gameplay abilities video
Thanks! Next video is coming soon
What ide is that u are working with
Rider!
I have been about to pull my hair out trying to wrap my mind around this, I have probably watched close to 30 different videos attempting to explain this concept. Yours is the one that finally made me get it. Thank you.
That’s fantastic, thank you!
So, for example, when I spawn in AI characters I would use hard refrences? What is a must use case for hard refs?
Is there a way to provide some autocomplete "enum" values to be used as first parameter? Lets say i want to create one command called "travel" with one parameter that can only have 4 values: "home", "menu", "level1", "level2". Can I define those values in an enum and let the autocomplete suggest only those values?
Likely! However off hand I don’t know of a way to do it. You can add things to the auto complete so it’d be a case of doing that with your enum values
