GAS system

[davidlespada]

Awesome! I'm currently learning the Gameplay Ability System in Unreal and it has a lot of potential, it's funny (and cool) to see replications in Godot :)
I was wondering... how about also adding the idea of the Ability System Component, Gameplay Abilities and Gameplay Tags? Gameplay Tags could also have a lot of potential in other applications as well (I think). I've recently started learning Godot for fun and I don't know if the rest of the GAS system and something similar to Gameplay Tags would be useful or not, what do you think ;)?

Best regards from Spain! 💛

Hi @Daboiowich , sorry for the late reply, GH did not send any email 🙄.

Actually, I am working on a similar concept, the ability system component (or AbilityContainer as it will be named after) is going to be a node (similar to the GameplayAttributeMap) which will accept some kind of resources (the abilities inheriting the Ability custom resource) that can be triggered by a specific event (keypress) at certain circumstances (like the AttributeEffectCondition resource does for the attributes effect application) or by an applied effect under other circumstances.

Concerning the tags, it's something I am currently exploring, but presumably they will be implemented as a custom resource as well (since custom resource are extremely performant).

Obviously, all these above will be the most general purpose, since we do not have concepts like Actor, Pawn etc in UE.

Thank you for writing!

Hi, I added an ability system in this PR #8

You can test it out, it should fit properly.

I also updated the example with two abilities (resurrect and fireball) to show how it works.

Hope you'll enjoy it!
