While trying to setup the GAS on a project, I could not for the life of me understand how to setup IGameplayAbilitiesModule::Get().GetAbilitySystemGlobals()->GetAttributeSetInitter()->InitAttributeSetDefaults(...).
Calling GetAttributeSetInitter() always crashed, and IsAbilitySystemGlobalsInitialized() always returned false. I added #include "AbilitySystemGlobals.h", setup a a custom Asset Manager in Project Settings that calls UAbilitySystemGlobals::Get().InitGlobalData(); inside StartInitialLoading() override { ...}, tried the function in various places (a class derived from UAttributeSet, a class derived from ACharacter that implements IAbilitySystemInterface, other custom classes) to no avail.
Where CT_GlobalAttributes is an imported curve table.
Since it took me a dozen hours to figure this out due to how obscure the setup of GAS can be, I think it is worth mentioning in your GASDocumention (which otherwise has been a great help). Cheers!
Hello!
