Overview

WCGASBuildPresetAsset is a Data Asset that defines complete character build configurations in the Wonderscape Creations GAS Ally plugin. It allows designers to create predefined loadouts containing abilities, passive effects, and attribute modifications without writing any C++ code, making build management a fully designer-driven workflow. Build presets can be applied to characters at runtime to instantly configure their gameplay capabilities.

Creating a Build Preset Asset

Using the Wonderscape GAS Ally Menu

1. Open the Content Browser
2. Right-click in any folder where you want to create the asset
3. Navigate to: Wonderscape GAS Ally > Skill Tree > Build Preset
4. Give your new asset a descriptive name (e.g., DA_WarriorStarterBuild, DA_MageTier2Build, DA_BossLoadout)
5. Double-click the asset to open it and configure its properties

How Build Preset Assets Work

Application Flow

1. Designer Configuration
   • Create Build Preset Asset with desired abilities, passives, and attribute modifiers
   • Optionally assign a unique Build ID tag for identification
   • Configure whether the build should clear existing abilities before applying
2. Runtime Application
   • Game code requests a build preset to be applied to an actor with an Ability System Component
   • System validates the target has a valid ASC
   • Existing abilities/effects are optionally cleared based on configuration
   • All abilities are granted to the target
   • All passive effects are applied
   • Attribute modifiers are applied via Gameplay Effects
3. Runtime Removal
   • Build presets can be removed, reversing their effects
   • Granted abilities are removed
   • Applied passive effects are removed
   • Attribute modifications are reversed
