The Action Manager (AC_ActionManager) is responsible for managing, tracking, and executing all player actions. At runtime, it spawns and initializes action objects, providing a centralized system to find and execute actions dynamically.

It is added to the Character class by default (B_Soulslike_Character).

How It Works

  1. Action Registration:

    • At runtime, all relevant Actions (e.g., Attack, Dodge, Jump, etc.) are registered and initialized as UObject-based instances.

    • Actions are stored in a map for quick lookup through the usage of Gameplay Tags.

  2. Performing Actions:

    • When an action is requested (through the Input Buffer), the Action Manager looks up the incoming Action in its map.

    • Calls the ExecuteAction() method in the found action object, triggering the action's specific behavior.

  3. Action State Management:

    • Ensures that only valid actions can execute (e.g., preventing a dodge during an attack unless queued).
