Overview

WCGASNPCFeatConfig is a Data Asset that defines pre-configured feat loadouts for NPCs in the Wonderscape Creations GAS Ally plugin. It allows designers to specify which feats an NPC should receive automatically at initialization without writing any C++ code, making NPC feat configuration a fully designer-driven workflow. The configuration bypasses the normal player selection workflow, granting feats directly when the WCGASFeatComponent initializes.

Creating an NPC Feat Config Data 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 > Feats > NPC Feat Config
4. Give your new asset a descriptive name (e.g., NPC_GoblinScout, NPC_BossDragon, NPC_GuardCaptain)
5. Double-click the asset to open it and configure its properties

How NPC Feat Config Works

Application Flow

1. Asset Assignment
   • Assign your NPC Feat Config data asset to the NPCFeatConfig property on the WCGASFeatComponent
   • This property accepts soft references for optimal memory usage
2. Automatic Application After Pool Loading
   • When the WCGASFeatComponent initializes and pools finish loading
   • The component detects that NPCFeatConfig is set
   • Calls ApplyNPCFeatConfig() automatically
3. Feat Granting Process
   • Iterates through FeatsToGrant array in order
   • Looks up each FeatID in registered pools to find feat definitions
   • Optionally validates prerequisites (if bValidatePrerequisites is enabled)
   • Grants each valid feat with the specified rank and selection metadata
4. Runtime Logging
   • Logs application start with config name, owner, feat count, and prerequisite mode
   • Logs warnings for feats not found in pools or failed prerequisite checks
   • Logs final summary showing granted vs total feats
