Syntax

UCLASS&40;Blueprintable, Abstract, NotPlaceable&41;  
class AGameplayAbilityTargetActor : public AActor

Remarks

TargetActors are spawned to assist with ability targeting. They are spawned by ability tasks and create/determine the outgoing targeting data passed from one task to another

WARNING: These actors are spawned once per ability activation and in their default form are not very efficient For most games you will need to subclass and heavily modify this actor, or you will want to implement similar functions in a game-specific actor or blueprint to avoid actor spawn costs This class is not well tested by internal games, but it is a useful class to look at to learn how target replication occurs
