I have the following base-character, base player-controller and ABILITY_SYSTEM_COMPONENT classes.
Abilities and starting effects are not being initialized in the client. It does happen on the server.
So technically, a server has his attributes updated and can activate abilities. But client is unable to have his attributes updated, nor is able to cast any ability.
Base Character:
void AChar::PossessedBy(AController* NewController) { Super::PossessedBy(NewController); ABILITY_SYSTEM_COMPONENT->InitAbilityActorInfo(this, this); SetOwner(NewController); // initializing starting abilities and effects ABILITY_SYSTEM_COMPONENT->initialize_ASC(); } Player Controller:
// Happens in the client void Abase_player_controller::AcknowledgePossession(APawn* P) { Super::AcknowledgePossession(P); ACHAR * char_ = Cast<ACHAR>(P); char_->GetAbilitySystemComponent()->InitAbilityActorInfo(char_, char_); } My class - UABILITY_SYSTEM_COMPONENT, sub-classed from UAbilitySystemComponent:
void UABILITY_SYSTEM_COMPONENT::initialize_ASC() { if (GetOwnerRole() != ROLE_Authority) return; initialize_abilities(); initial_effects(); } void UABILITY_SYSTEM_COMPONENT::initialize_abilities() { for (const auto & pair_ : __char->ability_container) { if ( !( pair_.Value && pair_.Key.IsValid() ) ) continue; FGameplayAbilitySpec ability_spec_ = FGameplayAbilitySpec(pair_.Value, 1); GiveAbility(ability_spec_); } b_initial_abilities_provided = true; } // __char in an Actor of the class ACHAR that has // An input-tag - ability class map. void UABILITY_SYSTEM_COMPONENT::initial_effects() { if (!__char) return; for (const auto & effect_class_ : __char->initial_effect_container) { FGameplayEffectContextHandle current_effect_context_handle_; current_effect_context_handle_.AddSourceObject(this); FGameplayEffectSpecHandle current_effect_spec_handle_ = MakeOutgoingSpec( effect_class_, __char->level, current_effect_context_handle_ ); ApplyGameplayEffectSpecToSelf( *current_effect_spec_handle_.Data.Get() ); } b_initial_effects_applied = true; } // __char also has a TArray of starting effect classes Interestingly, upon using a breakpoint at the time of button activation of the ability,
in the client, I see that there are absolutely no abilities granted!
Rather the server has abilities granted.
The property - number of activatable abilities, in the ASC shows 11 abilities in Server, but 0 in client!
What is the issue? How to resolve?
And also, should I continue to use GAS or should I build my own inspired by GAS?
Thanks in advance.
