UAbilitySystemComponent::ConfirmAbilityTargetData

#include "AbilitySystemComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Stores the incoming target data and fires the TargetDataSet delegate so ability tasks waiting on target data can proceed. Called by the server-side RPC handler after receiving replicated targeting information from the client.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Overriding this without calling Super will silently swallow all target data — the targeting tasks that bound to the TargetDataSet delegate will never unblock.
• Target data is cached in AbilityTargetDataMap; you must call ConsumeAllReplicatedData or ConsumeClientReplicatedTargetData after processing to prevent unbounded memory growth.
