Narxim's GAS Example

A bare-bones Gameplay Ability System (GAS) template to help you get started.

Features

Ability System Component on the PlayerState (Player Only)

---

Having the Ability System Component on the PlayerState allows data to be persistent if you plan on deleting your player pawn during gameplay. This is also helpful if you possess different pawns and still need a reference to the main character's stats and ability states. The main drawback of this setup is the need to increase the PlayerState's NetUpdateFrequency so that updates from the servers version arent too delayed. - Which really isn't a problem at all.

Dan's (Tranek) GAS Documentation covers all of these concepts and goes into much more detail on how GAS works as a whole. This repo was made as a starting point for getting set up and should be used alongside Dan's documentation. My intent is for devs who may not be as familiar with C++ or are just starting with GAS to have access to a more easily digestable setup example.
