WEBVTT 00:07.060 --> 00:08.430 Welcome back. 00:08.440 --> 00:14.980 So we're ready to start creating some classes that belong to the gameplay ability system framework. 00:15.280 --> 00:21.880 Now that means we have to enable gameplay ability system as it's a plugin in Unreal Engine, so we have 00:21.880 --> 00:24.370 to enable that plugin first and foremost. 00:24.400 --> 00:33.940 We do so by going to edit and plugins and search for gameplay abilities and we check the checkbox for 00:33.940 --> 00:34.960 gameplay abilities. 00:34.990 --> 00:42.760 Now we have to restart the editor, so we'll restart now and with that gameplay abilities are enabled 00:42.760 --> 00:47.290 and we can start making classes in the gameplay ability system plugin. 00:47.290 --> 00:51.610 Now we know we want an ability system component and an attribute set. 00:51.610 --> 00:58.900 So we're going to create those and that means we'll go to C plus plus classes or a public and I'd like 00:58.900 --> 01:02.950 to right click and make a new C plus plus class here. 01:02.980 --> 01:10.430 Now I have to choose all classes and search for ability system component. 01:10.550 --> 01:14.360 And here we have one now clicking next. 01:14.360 --> 01:21.530 I'd like my ability system component and my attribute set to be in their own folder. 01:21.530 --> 01:29.570 So I'm going to make a new folder here called Ability System and this ability system component. 01:29.570 --> 01:35.360 I would like to be the base class for all ability system components in my project. 01:35.360 --> 01:41.390 And because my project is called Aura, I'm going to use Aura as a prefix. 01:41.390 --> 01:49.670 So many times when you look at code for a large project, you usually have some kind of prefix that 01:49.670 --> 01:57.680 goes before most of your classes that represents sort of the dev team or maybe the project name or something 01:57.680 --> 01:58.610 like that. 01:58.610 --> 02:07.310 For example, if I were creating a shipped game with my company Druid Mechanics, I might have DM here. 02:07.310 --> 02:14.150 So it might be called DM ability system component, but this project is called Aura, so I'm going to 02:14.150 --> 02:16.280 be using Aura as a prefix. 02:16.400 --> 02:21.020 As you've seen already, we have aura player controller or a player state. 02:21.050 --> 02:24.350 Now we're going to have aura ability system component. 02:24.530 --> 02:27.170 So let's go ahead and create this class. 02:29.430 --> 02:34.450 Now, before I close the editor, I'm also going to create the attribute set. 02:34.470 --> 02:43.560 So I'm going to right click new C plus plus class and I'll search for attribute, set and choose attribute 02:43.560 --> 02:44.190 set. 02:44.550 --> 02:53.370 I'm also going to place this in ability system, and I'm going to call this aura attribute, set and 02:53.370 --> 02:54.780 click Create Class. 02:54.990 --> 03:00.330 Now I'm going to go ahead and close out of the editor and wait for writer to update. 03:00.450 --> 03:07.770 And now after collapsing some of these folders to keep this nice and neat, I'm going to expand Ability 03:07.800 --> 03:13.620 system to see aura attribute set and aura ability system component. 03:13.800 --> 03:16.230 I'm going to go ahead and open or attribute set. 03:16.260 --> 03:22.830 Here's what it looks like and we see that our attribute set is based on the class you attribute set. 03:23.400 --> 03:25.850 Let's look at our ability system component. 03:25.860 --> 03:29.970 We see that it is based on you ability system component. 03:30.210 --> 03:32.000 So this is looking great. 03:32.010 --> 03:36.240 So now we have these classes and we can go ahead and wrap up the video. 03:36.240 --> 03:43.710 But before we do so, we're going to want to include some modules that we'll be using in our code for 03:43.710 --> 03:45.780 our gameplay ability system project. 03:45.780 --> 03:51.570 So we're going to go into Aura dot, build CSS so we can add some modules here. 03:51.660 --> 03:55.950 Now we can add these to the private dependency module names. 03:55.950 --> 03:57.900 We're going to add a few things here. 03:57.900 --> 04:01.770 One of the modules we need is gameplay abilities. 04:02.610 --> 04:07.230 There are some classes that exist in that module that we'll need. 04:07.440 --> 04:10.080 Another that we'll need is gameplay tags. 04:10.080 --> 04:14.820 We'll add that as well because we're going to be creating and learning about gameplay tags. 04:15.060 --> 04:20.220 And finally another module that we'll need is gameplay tasks. 04:21.540 --> 04:25.940 And we won't really need that until we start making some tasks of our own. 04:25.950 --> 04:32.310 But it's best that we add these modules now so that we don't have to worry about it later. 04:32.310 --> 04:38.970 So we'll go ahead and add those here and we'll save all and close out of the build file. 04:39.240 --> 04:45.960 And now we have our ability system component class and our attribute set class. 04:45.960 --> 04:51.390 And now we're ready to give these to our character by adding it to the player state. 04:51.390 --> 04:52.980 And we'll learn how that works. 04:52.980 --> 04:57.030 And we also would like to give these to our enemy class. 04:57.030 --> 05:04.410 So we'll do those things next and we'll learn the significance of what it means to add these to these 05:04.410 --> 05:05.520 various classes. 05:05.520 --> 05:08.310 So great job and I will see you soon.
