Gameplay Attribute Select
UncookedOnly • PreDefault Loading Phase
Plugin overview
Gameplay Attribute Select is a plugin that adds two new Gameplay Attribute-based select nodes called Attribute Select and Contains Attribute Select.
Attribute Select takes a Gameplay Attribute, and returns the first option that matches that attribute.
Contains Attribute Select takes an array/set/map of Gameplay Attributes, and returns the first option that is contained inside that container.
They also have the capability to:
Get notified when more attributes are added
In short, there are 3 main interfaces: IGenericAgentActivityWorker, IGenericCrowdActivityWorker and IGenericWorldActivityWorker. Each of them are able to begin activities, which are expressed as GameplayTags.
From this framework’s perspective, only the following is known:
IGenericAgentActivityWorker runs a FAgentActivity one at the time (non-virtual). The actual implementation of the activity itself is delegated to a pure virtual impl method.
The framework does not preconceive what these activities actually mean. For example, IGenericAgentActivityWorker only knows and manages the beginning/ending of an FAgentActivity without further inclinations.
Likewise, IGenericCrowdActivityWorker can only run a FCrowdActivity, and IGenericWorldActivityworker only a FWorldActivity.

Cognition tags
Each activity worker has methods for keeping their own Scoped/Persistent Cognition tags, which are GameplayTags mapped to a specific base category. They may encapsulates anything from knowledge, reasoning, to memory.
Scoped Cognition tags are automatically removed when the current activity ends.
Persistent Cognition tags remain unless manually removed.
