GAS Integration

GAS Integration

Gameplay Ability System or GAS is a plugin provided by Epic Games.

While Inventory Extension does not directly depend on GAS to keep it lightweight and portable, we understand its common for inventories to interact with GAS in projects that use it.

That’s why, while every game is different, Inventory Extension provides a set of basic, frequent features you may find useful. This plugin is highly customizable, so don’t fear grabbing what this integration provides and modifying it to fit your needs.
