I have been implementing GAS in a project of mine and something is bugging me to no end.

In this youtube video made by unreal, they use the function

AttributeSet = AbilitySystemComponent->GetSet<UGASAbilityDemoAttributeSet>();

Where according to the video and the doc, GetSet is supposed to return the set if it exists or creates it and then give the newly created set. However, when I use it, it always returns null and I can't find a difference in my implementation.

What is it that I am doing wrong?

Other Sources

In the docs, they also mention to do the same. I also downloaded and look at the implementation for the new Lyra demo project where it's a lot more complex, but in the end, they, themself, do the same.

Note

I know I can just

   MySet = CreateDefaultSubObject<UGASAbilityDemoAttributeSet>("My Set")

To create my set, but the fact that I'm unable to use it like they do bug me.

I had the same issue. I found out that you have to first set the "Default Starting Data" on you Ability System Component in the editor. After that the GetSet method returns an object. screenshot
