#

and ofc we can get the ASC from the effect itself

#

Cause theres some cases where in BP it shoves out the activeeffect not just the handle

#

let me show you an example

#

the returned value here is the Effect not the handle

#

and its pretty useless in BP

#

like there is nothing

#

except my one

#

so i had to add cpp /** Returns the handle for an Active Effect. */ UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure, Category = "Ability|GameplayEffect") static FActiveGameplayEffectHandle GetHandleFromActiveEffect(const FActiveGameplayEffect& ActiveEffect); this just returns ActiveEffect.Handle;

#

to be able to get the handle so we can do stuff in this function

#

then it allows more usages without needing more functions

#

again doesnt return handle

#

but the FActiveGameplayEffect

#

making it useless in BP.

#

wrong node

#

this one

# 
FGameplayEffectContextHandle UDominanceAbilitySystemComponent::GetEffectContextByActiveHandle(const FActiveGameplayEffectHandle& ActiveEffect)
{
    if (ActiveEffect.GetOwningAbilitySystemComponent())
    {
        const FActiveGameplayEffect* EffectFound = ActiveEffect.GetOwningAbilitySystemComponent()->GetActiveGameplayEffect(ActiveEffect);
        if (EffectFound)
        {
            return EffectFound->Spec.GetEffectContext();
        }
    }
    return {};
}``` is also really crucial
#

cause you have no way in bp to get the context

#

meaning you cant do things like this

# 
    /** Returns the Effect Context Handle for an Active Gameplay Effect */
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "Ability|GameplayEffect")
    static FGameplayEffectContextHandle GetEffectContextByActiveHandle(const FActiveGameplayEffectHandle& ActiveEffect);

    /** Returns the Active Effect from the Handle */
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "Ability|GameplayEffect")
    static FActiveGameplayEffect GetActiveEffectByEffectActiveHandle(const FActiveGameplayEffectHandle& ActiveEffect);

    /** Returns the handle for an Active Effect. */
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure, Category = "Ability|GameplayEffect")
    static FActiveGameplayEffectHandle GetHandleFromActiveEffect(const FActiveGameplayEffect& ActiveEffect);
    ```  ```cpp

FActiveGameplayEffectHandle UDominanceAbilitySystemComponent::GetHandleFromActiveEffect(const FActiveGameplayEffect& ActiveEffect)
{
    return ActiveEffect.Handle;
}

FGameplayEffectContextHandle UDominanceAbilitySystemComponent::GetEffectContextByActiveHandle(const FActiveGameplayEffectHandle& ActiveEffect)
{
    if (ActiveEffect.GetOwningAbilitySystemComponent())
    {
        const FActiveGameplayEffect* EffectFound = ActiveEffect.GetOwningAbilitySystemComponent()->GetActiveGameplayEffect(ActiveEffect);
        if (EffectFound)
        {
            return EffectFound->Spec.GetEffectContext();
        }
    }
    return {};
}

FActiveGameplayEffect UDominanceAbilitySystemComponent::GetActiveEffectByEffectActiveHandle(const FActiveGameplayEffectHandle& ActiveEffect)
{
    if (ActiveEffect.GetOwningAbilitySystemComponent())
    {
        const FActiveGameplayEffect* EffectFound = ActiveEffect.GetOwningAbilitySystemComponent()->GetActiveGameplayEffect(ActiveEffect);
        if (EffectFound)
        {
            return *EffectFound;
        }
    }
    return {};
}
``` these 3 helpers expose a lot more in bp

I'll have a look on Monday but thanks for sharing with the screenshots!

Yeah the nodes that return some handle and then you can't do anything with the handle are so limiting. So I would love to improve that in the engine.

#

i can make a PR with some stuff which are very useful, to avoid some BP limitations

incase you never saw them

^ Just wanna let you know I do plan to get around to these, but some things popped up
