WEBVTT 00:00.630 --> 00:02.760 Welcome to your next quest. 00:02.970 --> 00:09.610 Now we know that we need a damage curve, so we're going to add this to our CT damage curve table. 00:09.630 --> 00:14.070 So create a curve for ranged damage and choose values for that. 00:14.070 --> 00:19.020 And then after that, you can set the scalable float in the ranged attack ability. 00:19.020 --> 00:21.480 It has a map, right? 00:21.480 --> 00:25.470 Mapping damage types to those scalable floats. 00:25.470 --> 00:30.060 You're going to choose the correct damage type for this ranged attack. 00:30.060 --> 00:33.720 So pause the video and conquer this quest now. 00:36.840 --> 00:37.260 Okay. 00:37.260 --> 00:45.180 So I'm in my ranged attack and I know that my damage types needs a pair mapping from damage type to 00:45.180 --> 00:46.710 a scalable float. 00:46.740 --> 00:53.820 Now that means I need to find my CT damage curve table and that's going to be in Blueprint's ability 00:53.850 --> 00:55.200 system data. 00:55.230 --> 00:56.970 Here's CT damage. 00:56.970 --> 00:59.160 Now we have abilities Firebolt. 00:59.190 --> 01:06.810 We have abilities dot melee and we're going to add a new curve and rename this new curve to abilities. 01:07.790 --> 01:13.580 Dot ranged and we can right click and add a key and select that key. 01:13.610 --> 01:21.140 We can set its time value or in our case, level to one and we can choose how much damage a ranged attack 01:21.170 --> 01:21.860 should do. 01:21.860 --> 01:22.760 At level one. 01:22.760 --> 01:30.800 I'm going to choose 7.5 and I'll go ahead and just add another key and go straight up to level 40. 01:31.340 --> 01:38.000 And at level 40, I'm going to say we should do, let's say, 35 damage. 01:38.000 --> 01:40.580 And here's a linear curve. 01:40.610 --> 01:43.610 If we want, we can make it an auto curve. 01:43.610 --> 01:44.810 I'm going to do that. 01:44.810 --> 01:46.820 And why not? 01:46.820 --> 01:52.760 I think this looks like a perfectly fine trend for ranged attacks. 01:52.760 --> 01:59.720 So now that we have a curve in our damage, we can go back to our ranged attack gameplay ability to 01:59.720 --> 02:07.410 our damage types and add an element and choose what should our damage type be for a ranged attack. 02:07.410 --> 02:15.000 And of course, this is something we could parameterize, but I'm going to go to damage and physical. 02:15.000 --> 02:22.200 So our melee attack, if we take a look in our class defaults has damage dot physical as well. 02:22.200 --> 02:25.350 So the range attack can be physical. 02:25.350 --> 02:29.160 But what happens if they launch, say, a fire rock? 02:29.160 --> 02:29.570 Right. 02:29.580 --> 02:31.590 So that's something to keep in mind. 02:31.590 --> 02:32.070 Right now. 02:32.070 --> 02:33.360 It's just set to physical. 02:33.360 --> 02:39.480 We're going to take the value and put a one, but we do want to use CT damage as the curve table and 02:39.480 --> 02:46.290 select our abilities dot ranged and we can adjust the slider and see the values at various levels. 02:46.650 --> 02:47.160 Okay. 02:47.160 --> 02:49.890 So that takes care of our damage types. 02:49.890 --> 02:56.610 And we know now that if we spawn a projectile using our blueprint callable spawn projectile function, 02:56.610 --> 03:03.810 then our aura projectile spell is going to loop through that damage type map and assign tags set by 03:03.810 --> 03:11.700 color magnitudes in our gameplay effect spec for looking up that scalable float value at the abilities 03:11.700 --> 03:12.090 level. 03:12.090 --> 03:17.790 So it's all a nice tied together system that works just really well. 03:17.790 --> 03:21.330 And this is a testament to having a solid framework in place. 03:21.330 --> 03:27.240 So now that we're expanding on our game and adding more features, a lot of this stuff is just made 03:27.240 --> 03:27.720 for us. 03:27.720 --> 03:35.010 So we did a lot of the hard work up front and this is why gas is so powerful for RPGs. 03:35.250 --> 03:37.080 Okay, so that's the next step. 03:37.080 --> 03:40.650 But we have more steps in order to get this to work. 03:40.650 --> 03:44.970 And we'll continue with those in the next video. 03:45.090 --> 03:47.430 Great job and I'll see you soon.
