Integrating with Gameplay Ability System (GAS)

Gameplay Ability System is an official plugin for building various types of character abilities and attributes that you can use to define character actions in your games. It is a flexible, though with a little tricky complexity system that comes up with the core concepts of Gameplay Tag, Gameplay Attribute, Gameplay Event and Gameplay Ability. The Gameplay Ability class is where you implement the ability logic, play montage and do collision detection, etc.

If your character is casting an ability using GAS and you want to call a nice ability camera while handling ability interruption and ability end, you should explicitly call the original camera in the OnEndAbility event, which already provides you with a boolean value Was Cancelled. This value helps you distinguish whether this ability is normally ended or is interrupted by other abilities or actions.

In the future I will give a complete toy example to shed light on integrating GAS and ComponentCameraSystem.
