在GAS中，GameplayEffect（简称GE）里面，在涉及到Magnitude的地方，针对Magnitude Calculation Type都会有一个选项“Set By Caller”，其本质，是把Magnitude的具体数值，交由开发者在代码中决定。
如果设置为“Set By Caller”，它都需要填写一个Data Tag，其本质是，在GameplayEffect实例中，它有一个字典"SetByCallerTagMagnitudes"，其声明如下
TMap<FGameplayTag, float> SetByCallerTagMagnitudes;
在ApplyGameplayEffectSpecToOwner时，会有以下计算，本质就是在字典"SetByCallerTagMagnitudes"中获取Magnitude的值。
FActiveGameplayEffectHandle UAbilitySystemComponent::ApplyGameplayEffectSpecToSelf(const FGameplayEffectSpec &Spec, FPredictionKey PredictionKey)
{
// ...
AppliedEffect = ActiveGameplayEffects.ApplyGameplayEffectSpec(Spec, PredictionKey, bFoundExistingStackableGE);
}
FActiveGameplayEffect* FActiveGameplayEffectsContainer::ApplyGameplayEffectSpec(const FGameplayEffectSpec& Spec, FPredictionKey& InPredictionKey, bool& bFoundExistingStackableGE)
{
// ...
if (AppliedEffectSpec.AttemptCalculateDurationFromDef(DefCalcDuration))
{
AppliedEffectSpec.SetDuration(DefCalcDuration, false);
}
}
bool FGameplayEffectSpec::AttemptCalculateDurationFromDef(OUT float& OutDefDuration) const
{
else
{
// The last parameters (false, 1.f) are so that if SetByCaller hasn't been set yet, we don't warn and default
// to 1.f. This is so that the rest of the system doesn't treat the effect as an instant effect. 1.f is arbitrary
// and this makes it illegal to SetByCaller something into an instant effect.
bCalculatedDuration = Def->DurationMagnitude.AttemptCalculateMagnitude(*this, OutDefDuration, false, 1.f);
}
return bCalculatedDuration;
}
bool FGameplayEffectModifierMagnitude::AttemptCalculateMagnitude(const FGameplayEffectSpec& InRelevantSpec, OUT float& OutCalculatedMagnitude, bool WarnIfSetByCallerFail, float DefaultSetbyCaller) const
{
case EGameplayEffectMagnitudeCalculation::SetByCaller:
{
OutCalculatedMagnitude = InRelevantSpec.GetSetByCallerMagnitude(SetByCallerMagnitude.DataTag, WarnIfSetByCallerFail, DefaultSet
}
}
float FGameplayEffectSpec::GetSetByCallerMagnitude(FGameplayTag DataTag, bool WarnIfNotFound, float DefaultIfNotFound) const
{
float Magnitude = DefaultIfNotFound;
const float* Ptr = nullptr;
{
Ptr = SetByCallerTagMagnitudes.Find(DataTag);
}
{
Magnitude = *Ptr;
}
return Magnitude;
}
因为GE中有很多地方可以用到Set By Caller，所以就需要给Set By Caller的Magnitude一个Data Tag，用来区分不同的地方。它是在GE内部使用的Tag。
