Lee Deok-woo's Unreal Programming Part 4 - Gameplay Ability System

Introducing the Unreal Gameplay Ability System, a revolution in game creation.

Unreal Engine 5's Gameplay Ability System (GAS) is a powerful game development framework optimized for systematically building games such as RPGs, shooters, and MOBAs.

• You can easily implement various character skills and buffs commonly used in game production.

• A systematic and divided framework structure increases the flexibility and expandability of game development.

• It supports complex stat calculations using game data based on character level.

• It has been applied to the Fortnite game and has been verified for stability and effectiveness.

• Many companies are actively using it in their new games based on Unreal Engine 5.

After taking the lecture, you will be able to create results like this.

Features of the gameplay ability system

The Unreal Gameplay Ability System categorizes and provides the many features necessary for game development, enabling efficient development of large-scale games. Each component is characterized by its dependencies being maximally decoupled, allowing for flexible expansion.

Each component of the gameplay ability system communicates organically with one another and executes the desired commands. The diagram below illustrates the basic flow of the most commonly implemented gameplay ability system.

However, since there is a lot to know about the basics, you should use the gameplay ability system after clearly understanding the characteristics and execution flow of each component rather than using it right away from the beginning.
