WEBVTT 00:06.810 --> 00:07.950 Welcome back. 00:08.040 --> 00:15.900 Now that we have debuff type gameplay tags, our aura damage gameplay ability needs to know some parameters 00:15.900 --> 00:17.580 related to debuffs. 00:17.610 --> 00:24.270 So let's open public ability system abilities and get aura damage gameplay ability open. 00:24.300 --> 00:26.580 So we have damage and damage type. 00:26.580 --> 00:30.630 Let's make some parameters for debuffs now. 00:30.660 --> 00:36.810 Now if you wanted this to scale by level, you'd make a scalable float just like damage. 00:36.840 --> 00:43.710 In fact, all of the parameters we're about to make here could be scalable floats and in a serious RPG 00:43.740 --> 00:45.420 they probably would be. 00:45.540 --> 00:51.810 But that's going to create a lot more work for us to do, especially with something we already know 00:51.810 --> 00:52.800 how to do. 00:52.830 --> 00:59.670 So if you'd like to make these scalable floats and create a curve table and add curves for each of these, 00:59.700 --> 01:00.720 feel free. 01:00.720 --> 01:06.360 But I'm just going to make these floats that we can set on the gameplay ability itself rather than go 01:06.460 --> 01:10.060 through all of the steps to make these scalable floats. 01:10.090 --> 01:13.660 So I'm going to have a float called Debuff Chance. 01:15.930 --> 01:19.260 And I'll give it a default value of 20. 01:21.820 --> 01:24.880 But we'll have to set that in the blueprint. 01:24.880 --> 01:31.000 So it's going to get a new property with edit defaults only, of course, but let's make the rest of 01:31.000 --> 01:31.720 our parameters. 01:31.720 --> 01:36.100 We're going to have a float called Debuff Damage. 01:37.090 --> 01:39.400 We'll set that to five by default. 01:39.430 --> 01:47.470 Now debuff damage is what our debuffs are going to apply every so often while that debuff is active. 01:47.470 --> 01:53.260 In other words we're going to apply debuff damage every debuff frequency. 01:53.260 --> 01:56.560 So we're going to have a float called debuff frequency. 01:59.000 --> 02:04.400 And by default I'd like to apply that debuff damage every one second. 02:05.270 --> 02:11.630 Just making room for the new properties that we can place there and the debuff will be active for a 02:11.630 --> 02:12.230 duration. 02:12.230 --> 02:15.050 So we're going to have a debuff duration as well. 02:16.580 --> 02:19.730 And the duration can be, let's say five seconds. 02:20.900 --> 02:29.510 You can even make this a randomized duration and have a duration min and max and those two could be 02:29.510 --> 02:30.320 curves. 02:30.440 --> 02:36.440 So this can get quite deep, but we're just going to have a debuff chance, a debuff damage, a debuff 02:36.440 --> 02:42.590 frequency and a debuff duration and these can all be overridden in the gameplay ability blueprint. 02:42.590 --> 02:47.120 So they're all going to be edit defaults only category damage. 02:47.120 --> 02:54.620 And once we create a damage gameplay effect spec based on our damage effect class, we can set set by 02:54.620 --> 03:00.870 color magnitudes for each of these, which means if we're going to set some set by color magnitudes 03:00.870 --> 03:07.800 for debuff chance damage, frequency and duration, then we need gameplay tags to identify those set 03:07.800 --> 03:09.210 by color magnitudes. 03:09.240 --> 03:11.910 So this brings us back to our gameplay tags. 03:11.910 --> 03:15.690 And these will be native just like our debuff types. 03:15.690 --> 03:24.510 So let's go to aura gameplay tags and just under our debuff types we're going to have more debuff tags. 03:26.820 --> 03:30.000 So we're going to have debuff chance. 03:30.030 --> 03:35.850 Debuff damage debuff frequency and debuff duration. 03:36.670 --> 03:44.590 So let's make an gameplay tag called debuff underscore chance. 03:45.730 --> 03:46.960 And I'm going to copy. 03:47.170 --> 03:53.800 Gameplay tag debuff with the underscore and we're going to have debuff damage. 03:54.730 --> 03:59.200 We're going to have debuff duration and debuff frequency. 04:01.360 --> 04:04.690 So in gameplay effects, you would call this the period, right? 04:04.930 --> 04:07.780 So now we have declared these gameplay tags. 04:07.780 --> 04:11.740 We need to actually create them, so we'll make those here. 04:16.140 --> 04:19.290 Let's find where we're creating the debuff tags. 04:19.620 --> 04:21.020 Just under debuffs. 04:21.030 --> 04:27.630 We'll keep it in the debuff section, but I'm going to have four more tags and they're going to be debuff 04:27.630 --> 04:29.160 dot chance. 04:29.800 --> 04:33.010 And the name will be debuff chance. 04:33.720 --> 04:37.830 And we'll just have debuff chance for the f string. 04:38.650 --> 04:47.380 In addition to that, we need debuff damage and we're just going to replace burn with damage. 04:47.380 --> 04:50.380 We'll say debuff damage and the string. 04:51.290 --> 04:55.160 The next one is going to be debuff duration. 04:56.870 --> 05:00.290 Just performing the same steps here debuff duration. 05:00.290 --> 05:04.190 And finally we have debuff frequency. 05:09.130 --> 05:10.420 So there we go. 05:10.420 --> 05:14.620 We now have our debuff information tags. 05:14.620 --> 05:19.330 We could have called them debuff info chance and so on, but this is fine. 05:19.330 --> 05:26.410 We just need tags that we can identify these parameters by because we plan on using these in our effects 05:26.410 --> 05:29.680 spec by setting gameplay effect parameters. 05:29.800 --> 05:32.800 So that's the next step for debuffs. 05:33.420 --> 05:39.840 Now when we create a gameplay effect spec for damage, we're now going to be setting lots of set by 05:39.840 --> 05:41.210 caller magnitudes. 05:41.220 --> 05:48.120 If we take a look at where we're doing it for a projectile spell, our one and only offensive spell, 05:48.150 --> 05:55.200 we see that we're assigning the tag set by caller magnitude for the damage based on the damage type 05:55.200 --> 05:56.130 right here. 05:56.160 --> 06:02.370 Then later in the exact calc, we loop over damage types to get that damage set by caller magnitude. 06:03.020 --> 06:09.920 And we're going to handle that in the next video as this is something that could use a nice helper function 06:09.920 --> 06:11.900 to handle all of this for us. 06:12.350 --> 06:14.090 So we'll handle that next. 06:14.270 --> 06:15.410 I'll see you soon.
