WEBVTT 00:07.340 --> 00:08.410 Welcome back. 00:08.420 --> 00:12.260 So we've created some basic placeholder abilities. 00:12.260 --> 00:16.130 We even have data filled out for three passive spells. 00:16.130 --> 00:19.580 And these are just going to sit there in ability info. 00:19.580 --> 00:26.030 But in order for these to work with our ability info, as we broadcast that info up to our widgets, 00:26.060 --> 00:28.670 our widgets need to know what to listen for. 00:28.670 --> 00:34.340 So we need to go into blueprints UI and enter our spell menu. 00:34.340 --> 00:38.540 And there are a couple things here in our spell menu. 00:38.540 --> 00:45.800 For one, we have our equipped spells row that needs to respond when we equip things. 00:45.800 --> 00:53.150 We also have our passive spell tree which needs to respond when ability info is broadcast. 00:53.270 --> 00:59.810 Now our passive spell tree has our spell globe buttons and these are not named at this point. 00:59.810 --> 01:05.030 I'd like to name these, so I'm going to rename this one to Halo of Protection. 01:05.870 --> 01:09.950 And I can call it button underscore halo of protection. 01:09.950 --> 01:15.710 And this one I can call button underscore life siphon. 01:16.590 --> 01:21.990 And this one I can call button underscore mana siphon. 01:21.990 --> 01:26.120 And we want to make sure that their ability tags are set. 01:26.130 --> 01:28.830 I also want to make sure that they are variables. 01:28.830 --> 01:30.390 So I'm going to select all three of them. 01:30.390 --> 01:34.800 Make sure that they're checked for is variable here, which they are. 01:34.800 --> 01:40.410 And we want to make sure that their ability tags are set. 01:40.440 --> 01:45.240 Now in event pre construct we can set these ability tags. 01:45.240 --> 01:48.840 I'm going to take button halo of protection. 01:50.960 --> 01:53.780 Call set ability tag. 01:57.910 --> 02:04.930 I've found that when you call set ability tag in the event graph versus selecting them and setting ability 02:04.930 --> 02:08.950 tags, here, you're going to run into less issues. 02:09.100 --> 02:13.330 Sometimes it doesn't take when you fill it out in the details panel. 02:13.330 --> 02:15.060 That's just my experience. 02:15.100 --> 02:17.800 So we're setting a button halo of protection. 02:17.800 --> 02:22.210 We're going to set the button for life siphon so we can set. 02:23.530 --> 02:24.760 Its ability tag. 02:24.760 --> 02:27.910 Now halo of protection needs an actual ability tag. 02:27.910 --> 02:29.800 So it's going to be abilities. 02:29.800 --> 02:31.750 Passive halo of protection. 02:32.780 --> 02:33.320 Life. 02:33.320 --> 02:36.650 Siphon gets its own ability tag, which will be. 02:37.320 --> 02:39.410 Passive life siphon. 02:39.420 --> 02:44.130 And then of course mana siphon is going to get its own tag. 02:45.420 --> 02:49.620 And this will be abilities passive mana siphon. 02:49.620 --> 02:55.260 So if things start getting a little out of whack, one of the first things to check is that all of these 02:55.260 --> 02:56.610 have the correct tags. 02:56.640 --> 03:05.730 Now that passive spell tree has its ability tags set, then it's now equipped to respond to ability 03:05.730 --> 03:07.950 info being broadcast. 03:08.040 --> 03:11.520 So with that we can go ahead and save all. 03:12.110 --> 03:13.580 We can press play. 03:13.580 --> 03:19.670 And I know that if I come over here and kill this goblin, I'm going to level up. 03:21.820 --> 03:31.570 And if I open up my spells menu, I see three nice new icons and I can spend points on them and equip 03:31.570 --> 03:32.420 them as well. 03:32.440 --> 03:40.060 Now if I equip this and I close it, well, how come my row down here doesn't have anything in its passive 03:40.060 --> 03:40.780 globes? 03:40.780 --> 03:43.720 Well, that's something we need to make sure works. 03:43.720 --> 03:51.430 So we're going to open up our equipped spells row and make sure these have not only ability tags, but 03:51.430 --> 03:57.160 we also want to make sure that the widget controllers are set here in Equip Spells row we have a set 03:57.190 --> 03:59.080 widget controllers function. 03:59.080 --> 04:00.340 And look at this. 04:00.370 --> 04:03.250 We do have our passive globes set. 04:03.250 --> 04:08.920 So they just need their input tags set because these are identified by input tags. 04:08.920 --> 04:11.350 Now it says their input tags are set here. 04:11.350 --> 04:13.990 But of course this is the equip spells row isn't it. 04:13.990 --> 04:16.360 I'm thinking of the overlay. 04:17.280 --> 04:19.140 Just in case I confused you. 04:19.140 --> 04:22.050 I actually had this widget blueprint open. 04:22.050 --> 04:24.000 Not this one out here. 04:24.030 --> 04:30.450 That one's actually in our UI overlay and in the sub widget folder. 04:30.450 --> 04:31.170 Here it is. 04:31.170 --> 04:32.820 Health mana spells. 04:32.850 --> 04:35.970 This one is a completely different widget. 04:36.000 --> 04:41.910 Now if I come into the event graph we have set globe widget controllers. 04:41.910 --> 04:43.710 And in here all look at this. 04:43.710 --> 04:46.410 There's only six of them being set. 04:46.440 --> 04:49.080 We need more than six to be set. 04:49.110 --> 04:51.030 We need those other two. 04:51.060 --> 04:55.410 These passive ones here these aren't even set to is variable. 04:55.440 --> 04:59.220 We need those to be variables so we can bring them in right here. 04:59.250 --> 05:02.970 Spell globe passive one and spell globe passive two. 05:03.000 --> 05:06.780 Those should be plugged in to set widget controller as well. 05:06.810 --> 05:09.000 Otherwise things aren't going to work. 05:09.000 --> 05:11.490 So that's important. 05:11.490 --> 05:14.310 And of course their input tags must be set. 05:15.440 --> 05:16.610 And they're not. 05:16.610 --> 05:21.980 So we can set those to passive one for that one and passive two for that one. 05:21.980 --> 05:26.870 And I know I just said that I found less problems when setting it in the event graph. 05:26.870 --> 05:29.900 If we see any problems, we will resort to doing that. 05:29.900 --> 05:31.880 But let's see how this works. 05:31.880 --> 05:34.760 I'm going to save all and press play. 05:34.760 --> 05:36.320 I'm going to go ahead and level up. 05:39.400 --> 05:41.560 Here we have our spells. 05:41.770 --> 05:44.380 I chose Halo of Protection last time. 05:44.380 --> 05:46.870 I'm going to choose life siphon this time. 05:46.870 --> 05:49.990 Spend a point, equip it, stick it right there. 05:49.990 --> 05:52.450 Close my menu and there it is. 05:52.480 --> 05:57.010 And I should be able to select it, equip and move it. 05:57.010 --> 05:58.030 And it moves. 05:58.030 --> 05:59.410 So that's looking good. 05:59.440 --> 06:02.890 I'm going to you know I don't have any more spell points. 06:02.890 --> 06:10.180 So what I think I'd like to do is start cheating by making my goblins give me a lot more XP. 06:10.660 --> 06:14.890 And I'm going to get the rest of these out of the way for testing purposes. 06:14.890 --> 06:23.380 I just want my goblin and I'm going to go into my blueprints ability system data folder, and I have 06:23.380 --> 06:26.140 a XP reward curve. 06:26.170 --> 06:30.730 I can change my warrior for its level one XP reward. 06:30.730 --> 06:34.390 It's 300, but I think I'd like to give myself 6000. 06:34.390 --> 06:39.250 I feel like I deserve a little bit more right now for all my hard work playtesting. 06:39.250 --> 06:47.860 So with 6000 as a reward, we expect to level up several times and get several points like three. 06:48.890 --> 06:50.510 So we have zero spell points. 06:50.510 --> 06:52.190 But if I kill this thing. 06:55.300 --> 06:56.500 I only got one. 06:56.500 --> 06:57.610 So that's an issue. 06:57.640 --> 07:01.660 We're going to have to take care of because I think I leveled up like three times. 07:01.660 --> 07:06.250 I'm level four now, so I should have at least three spell points. 07:06.250 --> 07:12.190 So that's something that we should fix and we'll take care of that in the next video. 07:12.190 --> 07:17.710 We'll make sure that we get enough spell points when we get a double and triple level up, and then 07:17.710 --> 07:20.110 that'll make testing things easier for us. 07:20.110 --> 07:21.550 So we'll do that next. 07:21.700 --> 07:22.870 I'll see you soon.
