Custom Gameplay Cues

Overview

The WCGASAlly plugin provides two powerful base classes for creating Gameplay Cue handlers that streamline visual and audio feedback in GAS-powered games. These classes allow designers to configure complex multi-effect responses to Gameplay Cues entirely through Blueprint properties—no C++ or custom Blueprint logic required.

Class	Parent	Purpose	Lifecycle
`AWCGASCueNotifyActor`	`AGameplayCueNotify_Actor`	Looping/duration-based effects	Persists while cue is active
`UWCGASCueNotifyStatic`	`UGameplayCueNotify_Static`	Instant/one-shot effects	Fire-and-forget
