Thanks you saved my day. Great tutorial for actor damage, i was scratching my head off for this.

[@GokdenizCetin]

Hey! I just wanted to say thank you for your Common UI github dev notes

[@XistGG]

You're welcome!

[@unrealdevop]

Man, your stuff is great. Keep up the good work.

[@XistGG]

Thanks, will do!

[@az-ru2084]

thanks for content

[@az-ru2084]

How can I add C++ XCL_ActorWithAbilities code into my lyra project? Since I'm deving with only BP...

[@dellins1152]

thanks! really appreciate the content and the 1440p! :) keep it up!

[@XistGG]

I like to cast TH-cam to the TV... 4K content is definitely preferred!

[@goncalosoares8483]

Awesome stuff

[@maxkipchumba7604]

the animations are so smooth,
is it stylized or its just the high fps?

[@masterz0]

What if I wanted to create an ally Dummy? In which he doesn't take damage from me and my team?

[@KevinMack-gl7dv]

This is really fantastic work - thank you for sharing it! I'm running into a linker error on ULyraAbilitySystemComponent::GetPrivateStaticClass(void) when I try to create a default subobject from ULyraAbilitySystemComponent - did you have to do anything in your own child component to get around this?

[@XistGG]

Often when you try to use Lyra C++ classes you'll need to export them with `LYRAGAME_API`.

[@Cyviel]

Your content is really good, keep up the good work. Dont undervalue yourself as well. Are you posting on reddit? You need to get some reach :)

[@XistGG]

I'm hopeful to share insights with others, as so many have also shared with me.

[@Lainemajstah]

Thank you for this, keep the videos coming, helps out a bunch trying to learn Unreal Engine and GAS. One question, I can't find the Lyra stuff such as attributesets and or the AbilitySystemComponent in the example code. How did you import those? And are the attributesets and the healtcomponent everything that is needed or do one need to do any preperations as in specific tags or the like, why I'm asking is I was thinking of reverse-engineer lyras components and make my own for learning and to be able to add stuff later if needed.?

[@XistGG]

Ignore the stuff with an "XCL" prefix. That is my own code for my project that isn't really related to the example.
You can probably replace those references with "Lyra" prefix and I bet it will work.
You can absolutely make your own components and attribute sets, you don't need to use Lyra's stuff. Just copy their classes, rename them to your own, and change how you like.

[@shannenmr]

Keep it up

[@Vaspin]

I want to create a Shielding ability to intercept damage before health hits. Could that all be done in the ability? Or would i need a ShieldSet component and have to customize the Damage Calc class?
Video was helpful! thanks!

[@XistGG]

I think you'd probably want to add that to the HealthSet as a new attribute, and modify the damage calculation as needed. Maybe some types of damage penetrate the shield and some don't, etc.

[@Conversion108]

Is this replicated between networks?

[@Buran21]

❤😊

[@foriwill7384]

how do you block damage?

[@XistGG]

There are a few ways to do it, either with tags that prevent the effect from being applied in the first place, and/or by modifying the damage calculation code (c++).

[@mohammadkojak3360]

#include "XCLAbilitySystemComponent.h"/"XCLAbilitySettings.h"/"Log/XCLLog.h" in "XCLActorWithAbilities.h"
are doesn`t exist !!?

[@XistGG]

Correct. As stated on the Github, that code will not compile. Those are custom libs in my XCL library that I am not making available in this example. It's example code only, it's not plug-and-play.

[@mohammadkojak3360]

@@XistGG oh man.. thank you for wasting my Time !

[@XistGG]

I said as much in the video, on the Dev log AND on the Github repository lol. How did you miss it !? :)
