Syntax

namespace EGameplayAbilityInstancingPolicy
{

    {
        NonInstanced,
        InstancedPerActor,
        InstancedPerExecution,
    }
}

Values

Name	Description
NonInstanced	This ability is never instanced. Anything that executes the ability is operating on the CDO.
InstancedPerActor	Each actor gets their own instance of this ability. State can be saved, replication is possible.
InstancedPerExecution	We instance this ability each time it is executed. Replication possible but not recommended.

Remarks

How the ability is instanced when executed. This limits what an ability can do in its implementation. For example, a NonInstanced Ability cannot have state. It is probably unsafe for an InstancedPerActor ability to have latent actions, etc.
