I had been putting off rebinding my collapse/expand all binding in rider for 2 months.... it took 30 seconds to change and dear god the needless suffering. 🎨

'We have monster battle arenas at home'
Breaking down the mechanics was a bit of fun, seems like the flow is:
Targeting > Command > React.
Player targets an enemy.
Command is generated and visible through the target circle.
React, monster AI controller paths to command to act.

Realizing I've been using a concept UE already has hidden in Lyra of GTag/InstancedStruct combos for generic messaging.
Can use the 'Creator' Comp to populate loot based on what Content GFPs exist and use Character Tagging to assign.

Filtered GameplayTagContainer☕️it's a bit janky but if it means I get to click less it's a win. Now watch as I find out it already exists in engine somewhere 🙃

Trying out GameplayTags in different forms, works pretty well for Prototype anim component although there's maybe a better setup to be had here. #unrealengine

I'm not sure where this stems from but!
Materials and Anims are Green.
Blueprints... well that one's obvious.
Characters/Maps are yellow/orange
Props are Pink
and UI is Light Blue. It's just good science.

Messing with new styles in my systems prototyping, I find I tend to lean on 'clean' and 'simple' UI rather than ever trying anything a little bit more out there so forcing that muscle a lil.

Messing with "imbued" weapons, that bridge two damage types together to give the standard weapons a little bit of magic. For now it's overriding systemically out of the box!
eg. Swords - Flame / Slashing vs the Spears - Flame / Piercing.

Anyone know of cleaner ways to generate cancellable timers?
This always feels correct but it just takes up so much space for boilerplate like setup, disregard the redline not being a CreateEvent. #unrealengine #ue5

Spent an hour trippin on the first stair of assigning GFP data to DataRegisteries because I ticked a box by accident...
But now I have debugged them so hard there's no going back, registered data or bust!
