Gameplay Ability System
The Gameplay Ability System (GAS) Is used Primarily for its Network Prediction, It does provide other uses, however its much simpler to build your own system
1. To Start enable the Gameplay Ability System Plugin
1.1 Restart the editor, and build the project in c++(Note if you do not restart the editor you will have build errors)
1.2 I had issues building with the editor open if you have errors try keeping the editor close while building?
1.3 cannot open source file "AbilitySystemInterface.h"
I was able to resolve the issue by generating Visual Studio project files. I’m not sure why there would be a compiling issue if that’s all it took to fix things, but so it goes. Thanks to Kazuja on the reddit post for running through his steps with me:
Also thanks for starting to assist me here.
To resolve the issue, I opened the project folder within my UnrealProjects directory, rick-clicked on the .uproject, and clicked on “Generate Visual Studio project files”. After reopening my project in the editor and the solution in VS2017, the problem was fixed.
2. Add it to your Games\Source\<Project>\<Project>.Build.Cs
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "HeadMountedDisplay", "EnhancedInput" , "GameplayAbilities" });
