WEBVTT 00:01.120 --> 00:03.640 Welcome to your quest for this quest. 00:03.640 --> 00:09.310 I'd like you to add spell descriptions for both Electrocute and Arcane shards. 00:09.700 --> 00:11.980 So this should be pretty straightforward. 00:11.980 --> 00:17.020 It should give you a little bit of practice using the formatting for rich text blocks. 00:17.020 --> 00:21.220 So pause the video and create your spell descriptions now. 00:24.250 --> 00:24.880 Okay. 00:24.880 --> 00:31.780 So for our spell descriptions we're going to first make sure that we have C plus plus classes backing 00:31.780 --> 00:37.480 our abilities as that's where we need to override the get description function. 00:37.480 --> 00:40.510 So I'm going to go to Class Settings and Arcane Shards. 00:40.510 --> 00:43.360 And this is based on aura damage gameplay ability. 00:43.360 --> 00:48.370 So I'm going to need to subclass a Arcane Shards C plus plus class. 00:48.370 --> 00:56.110 And if I go into lightning G a electrocute and check its class settings, its based on Aura Beam spell. 00:56.110 --> 01:01.300 So I'm going to need to subclass electrocute from Aura Beam Spell specifically. 01:01.690 --> 01:08.740 So we need two new classes, one based on Aura Damage gameplay ability and one based on Aura Beam spell. 01:08.890 --> 01:11.770 Let's go ahead and make those C plus plus classes. 01:12.100 --> 01:19.660 We'll go ahead and go into Aura Public Ability System abilities, and we'll make one based on Aura Damage 01:19.660 --> 01:20.860 gameplay ability. 01:20.890 --> 01:22.090 Here it is. 01:22.600 --> 01:29.320 I'm going to create a C plus plus class derived from it and call this Arcane Shards. 01:30.140 --> 01:31.700 We'll go ahead and create that class. 01:31.700 --> 01:33.830 I'm going to click no, I'm not done yet. 01:33.830 --> 01:36.920 I'm going to create one based on Aura Beam spell. 01:36.920 --> 01:41.810 So create C plus plus class derived from this I'm going to call it electrocute. 01:43.900 --> 01:47.590 And create that class and close the editor down. 01:47.860 --> 01:50.800 With that, I'm going to go ahead and close all tabs. 01:50.800 --> 01:54.250 I'd like to use my Aura Firebolt as an example. 01:54.250 --> 01:59.320 This is a pretty good example of how to format our description string. 01:59.320 --> 02:00.880 So I'm going to use that. 02:00.880 --> 02:02.260 I'm going to have that open. 02:02.620 --> 02:07.120 And I'm also going to open Arcane Shards and Electrocute. 02:07.270 --> 02:10.810 And we'll go ahead and get the header files open for these as well. 02:10.840 --> 02:13.210 So here's our arcane shards. 02:13.720 --> 02:17.590 And I'll go ahead and open Aura Firebolt while I'm at it. 02:17.590 --> 02:20.740 And now we have these classes open. 02:20.740 --> 02:24.910 So I need get description and get next level description. 02:24.910 --> 02:31.630 I'll copy that along with the public access level, and go back to Arcane Shards and paste and go to 02:31.630 --> 02:33.400 Electrocute and Paste. 02:33.790 --> 02:36.970 And I can just implement these functions. 02:40.890 --> 02:44.940 So getting my definitions I don't need to call super here. 02:47.140 --> 02:50.710 And I'm going to do this for Arcane Shards as well. 02:52.290 --> 02:54.330 And delete the calls to super. 02:56.700 --> 03:02.910 Now I'm going to go to Aura Firebolt for Getdescription, and this is a pretty good example of how to 03:02.910 --> 03:03.450 do it. 03:03.450 --> 03:09.150 So I'm going to go ahead and copy the contents of Getdescription and we'll start with electrocute. 03:09.150 --> 03:10.500 I'm going to paste it here. 03:12.170 --> 03:15.530 So I'll start at the top with the title. 03:15.530 --> 03:19.910 I'm going to replace it with all caps electrocute. 03:21.540 --> 03:27.450 And at the top we have our basic information level Manacost cooldown. 03:28.190 --> 03:37.550 And then our actual description and for this description I'm going to say emits a beam of lightning. 03:42.380 --> 03:51.500 Connecting with the target repeatedly causing I'm going to remove that colon there and it's going to 03:51.500 --> 03:57.980 say percent D, along with how much damage it's going to be lightning damage. 03:57.980 --> 04:00.890 And I'm going to say with a chance to stun. 04:03.870 --> 04:06.960 Now this is for if the level is equal to one. 04:06.990 --> 04:13.470 If the level is greater than one, then I'm also going to want to use a number here. 04:13.470 --> 04:18.690 And we're using f math.min between level and a maximum here. 04:18.690 --> 04:22.560 And for electrocute we need to know what that maximum is. 04:22.560 --> 04:25.620 And we can go into our beam spell dot h. 04:34.360 --> 04:36.820 And we have maximum shock targets. 04:36.820 --> 04:41.320 I'm going to copy that and use that here in electrocute. 04:41.470 --> 04:48.310 And this number here is going to be the minimum between level and maximum shock targets. 04:49.450 --> 04:54.430 So what I can do in my description here is I can take that into account. 04:54.430 --> 05:00.310 So the title is going to still be Electrocute level. 05:00.310 --> 05:02.620 Mana cost and cooldown will be the same. 05:02.620 --> 05:04.780 But this description is different. 05:04.780 --> 05:07.240 And by the way, it shouldn't say number of firebolts. 05:07.240 --> 05:09.550 It should say number of shock targets. 05:12.910 --> 05:17.800 So we're going to say emits a beam of lightning. 05:22.130 --> 05:23.630 Propagating. 05:25.110 --> 05:38.850 To percent d additional targets nearby, causing percent D lightning damage. 05:39.780 --> 05:41.400 With a chance to stun. 05:42.130 --> 05:45.370 Now this is to present the additional targets. 05:45.370 --> 05:49.840 So we're going to say additional number of shock targets. 05:49.840 --> 05:55.390 Which means we need to take maximum shock targets minus one because we're already talking about the 05:55.390 --> 05:56.440 first beam. 05:56.440 --> 05:59.770 These are the additional targets right okay. 05:59.770 --> 06:02.710 So with that we have our description. 06:02.710 --> 06:09.760 We just need our next level description we can look at or a Firebolt and or a Firebolt is really just 06:09.760 --> 06:14.320 using the same thing as our description here in the else case. 06:14.320 --> 06:15.940 So we're going to do that in electrocute. 06:15.940 --> 06:17.830 We'll take the else case here. 06:20.680 --> 06:21.910 And paste it here. 06:21.910 --> 06:25.720 We still need these variables, so we'll copy them from the top. 06:29.490 --> 06:33.600 And for the title we're going to say Next Level. 06:35.620 --> 06:39.520 Just like we do in aura Firebolt next level. 06:39.910 --> 06:43.450 Okay, so there's our descriptions for electrocute. 06:44.680 --> 06:47.770 Let's take care of arcane shards, shall we? 06:48.190 --> 06:55.510 I'm going to go ahead and actually copy the contents from electrocute and go into Arcane Shards for 06:55.510 --> 06:57.940 get description and use it here. 06:58.180 --> 07:00.160 Now for Arcane Shards. 07:00.160 --> 07:02.560 We don't have a max num shock targets. 07:02.560 --> 07:10.540 In fact, we haven't even implemented a max for Arcane shards when it comes to how many shards, right? 07:10.540 --> 07:23.620 So arcane shards can have a 32 called Max num shards, and we can set that to 11 and give it a uproperty 07:23.800 --> 07:26.170 edit defaults only now. 07:26.170 --> 07:32.980 Yes, all of these have some kind of max, so we could have a generic max variable on the aura damage 07:32.980 --> 07:33.790 gameplay ability. 07:33.790 --> 07:38.410 So that's something that you could do if you want to do that here in Arcane Shards, I'm going to use 07:38.410 --> 07:41.080 my Max num shards. 07:42.430 --> 07:47.140 And we can change our description to arcane shards. 07:48.440 --> 07:55.490 So for my description, I'm going to say summon shards of arcane energy. 07:57.720 --> 08:01.620 Causing radial damage of. 08:01.620 --> 08:06.900 And we'll say this much damage at the shard origin. 08:07.740 --> 08:14.070 Now that's if we're level one, but if we're more than level one, then here we'll say arcane shards. 08:15.350 --> 08:16.940 And we'll say. 08:18.410 --> 08:29.330 Summon percent de shards of arcane energy, causing percent de arcane damage. 08:29.330 --> 08:31.580 By the way, this should say arcane damage. 08:32.200 --> 08:37.180 So back up here, we'll say causing radial arcane damage. 08:38.450 --> 08:40.460 And we can even say it the same way here. 08:40.460 --> 08:48.080 We can say causing radial arcane damage of percent D damage with a chance to. 08:48.080 --> 08:54.380 We're not going to say with the chance to stun, we'll just say percent D arcane damage for now. 08:56.990 --> 09:03.440 As we haven't implemented our debuff for arcane yet, so we'll just say this. 09:06.050 --> 09:07.610 I'll do it here as well. 09:09.410 --> 09:14.240 Actually, we can say damage at the shard origins down here. 09:14.240 --> 09:16.580 We'll say damage at the Shard Origins. 09:16.580 --> 09:17.690 That's what we'll say. 09:17.690 --> 09:20.960 And we're saying the number of shards. 09:20.960 --> 09:24.080 So we don't need to subtract one from Max num shards. 09:24.260 --> 09:30.500 And we can simply copy this and use it and get next level description. 09:30.860 --> 09:34.310 And we can go ahead and get those parameters from the top. 09:37.550 --> 09:39.770 And of course we're just using these parameters. 09:39.770 --> 09:47.270 But as I mentioned previously in an earlier video, you could use any number of parameters, member 09:47.270 --> 09:49.280 variables, any information you want. 09:49.280 --> 09:54.230 You can even add input parameters to the function if you want more information. 09:55.170 --> 09:55.620 Okay. 09:55.620 --> 09:58.020 So that gives us our descriptions. 09:58.020 --> 10:03.720 We just need to make sure to use our parent classes that we've just created. 10:03.720 --> 10:07.110 So let's make sure we do that in the editor. 10:08.590 --> 10:09.100 Okay. 10:09.100 --> 10:11.500 So I'm going to get these abilities back open. 10:11.500 --> 10:18.520 I'm going to take a electrocute, go to class settings and set its parent class to electrocute. 10:21.180 --> 10:22.350 There it is. 10:24.430 --> 10:30.460 And I can go to arcane shards and go to its class settings and search for arcane shards and use that 10:30.460 --> 10:31.750 as the parent class. 10:32.290 --> 10:38.890 Now, Arcane Shards is really just hard coding the number of shards that were spawning. 10:38.890 --> 10:40.720 It's called NUM Points. 10:40.720 --> 10:46.900 Now, instead of using NUM points, we can simply use our Max NUM shards. 10:47.690 --> 10:50.510 Now, we didn't make that a blueprint read only. 10:50.510 --> 10:53.090 So I think I'll just go ahead and do that. 10:53.540 --> 10:57.890 Arcane shards this can be blueprint read only. 11:00.560 --> 11:02.180 So launching again. 11:04.300 --> 11:07.000 And back into arcane shards. 11:07.300 --> 11:09.910 Now I should be able to use it. 11:13.580 --> 11:14.750 Max num shards. 11:14.750 --> 11:15.740 Here it is. 11:16.340 --> 11:18.560 We'll hook that in and delete num points. 11:18.560 --> 11:22.280 We won't use that anymore, so I'm going to go ahead and delete it. 11:22.840 --> 11:28.690 And now we're basing this on our ability level so we can test out a couple things. 11:29.450 --> 11:32.120 Let's press play and open our spells. 11:32.810 --> 11:34.610 And here we see arcane shards. 11:34.610 --> 11:42.770 Level one no manacost, no cooldown, some in shards of arcane energy causing radial arcane damage of 11:42.770 --> 11:44.510 ten at the shard origin. 11:44.510 --> 11:47.450 And then our next level description. 11:47.450 --> 11:51.920 It still says Arcane Shard, so we'll fix things as we see them here. 11:52.280 --> 11:58.100 First of all, Arcane Shard says summon shards for level one, so we'll go ahead and fix that. 11:58.100 --> 12:00.380 So we'll say summon a shard. 12:02.040 --> 12:05.040 Even though each of these do have multiple shards, right? 12:05.040 --> 12:06.720 But some in a shard. 12:06.720 --> 12:07.380 Okay. 12:07.380 --> 12:10.620 And then the title here should say next level. 12:11.160 --> 12:16.470 So for get next level description we should say next level here. 12:19.020 --> 12:21.330 There's some next level stuff. 12:21.600 --> 12:26.400 And other than that, we just need mana cost and cooldown. 12:26.400 --> 12:30.000 And then our arcane shards will work. 12:30.210 --> 12:31.860 Let's select our electrocute. 12:31.860 --> 12:32.670 And there it is. 12:32.670 --> 12:39.000 Level one mana cost cooldown emits a beam of lightning connecting with the target repeatedly, causing 12:39.000 --> 12:41.910 one lightning damage with a chance to stun. 12:41.910 --> 12:44.910 Level two has a mana cost of 1.5. 12:44.910 --> 12:50.040 Same cooldown, and it still causes one damage at level two. 12:50.040 --> 12:51.420 Let's make sure that that's correct. 12:51.420 --> 12:59.790 Let's go to Blueprints Ability System Data CT damage and select electrocute and see what it should be 12:59.790 --> 13:00.810 at level two. 13:00.960 --> 13:07.500 At level two, it's still about one damage, so yes, we could make it increase a little faster. 13:09.550 --> 13:11.320 And now at two it should be two. 13:11.320 --> 13:14.170 So we should see that reflect in the menu. 13:14.170 --> 13:16.360 And it says yes two there. 13:16.360 --> 13:17.440 So that's better. 13:19.990 --> 13:25.120 Arcane shards causes 19 damage at level two, so it's a little bit more powerful. 13:25.120 --> 13:26.860 I think I'm cool with that. 13:27.480 --> 13:27.960 All right. 13:27.960 --> 13:32.040 So we have some descriptions and they're looking great. 13:34.420 --> 13:37.750 So next time we compile, those fixes will be in place. 13:37.750 --> 13:43.450 And now we just need cost and cooldown for arcane shards and we'll handle that next. 13:43.450 --> 13:45.250 Great job and I'll see you soon.
