Base

Overview

UCAbstractSkill is the abstract base class for C++ skill implementations. It inherits UObject and implements ICSkill. Subclasses must override applySkill to define skill behavior. The manager retains a reference to otherInformation via ungarbaged to prevent garbage collection during execution.

Functions

Name	Description
applySkill	Pure virtual. Implement to define skill execution logic
applySkillWithRetain	Calls `applySkill` after retaining `otherInformation` from GC
withSpecificData	Template helper to retrieve a typed row from `specificSkillDataRH`

        // direct skill logic
        return true;

};

// Using withSpecificData to access skill-specific DataTable row

    return withSpecificData<FMyFireballDataStruct>(skillDataStruct, [source](FMyFireballDataStruct* data) {
        // use data->damage, data->radius, etc.
        return true;
    });
