UAbilitySystemComponent::ConsumeClientReplicatedTargetData

#include "AbilitySystemComponent.h"

Access: public

Description

Clears only the cached client target data for the given ability handle and prediction key, leaving generic replicated event data intact.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Use this instead of ConsumeAllReplicatedData when an ability still needs to process generic replicated events after consuming its target data.
• Only clears already-received and stored data on the server; does not cancel any in-flight RPCs.

Signature

void ConsumeClientReplicatedTargetData(FGameplayAbilitySpecHandle AbilityHandle, FPredictionKey AbilityOriginalPredictionKey)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
AbilityHandle	FGameplayAbilitySpecHandle	Handle to the ability spec whose cached target data should be cleared.	—
AbilityOriginalPredictionKey	FPredictionKey	The prediction key identifying which activation's target data to clear.	—

Return Type

Example

Selective consume inside a multi-step ability C++

// After applying the targeting effect, but before the ability's confirm phase:
ASC->ConsumeClientReplicatedTargetData(AbilityHandle, OriginalPredictionKey);
// Generic events (e.g. InputConfirm) are still available for later processing.
