Hello all,
This is a very small tweak, but it enables some of the polish you might see in other games when you have to press down a button in order to perform a task - in our case, it is using the LongPress StartType on any of our abilities. All this does is add a Slider component to your MessageMonitor to accompany the message text itself - when a LongPress ability is attempting to start, the Ability will send an event "OnAbilityInputDelayedStart" to any listeners - in our case, this is the MessageMonitor.
On LongPress start, the slider will begin to fill scaled to the duration set by the Ability - if we cancel the input, the slider will rapidly drain back to zero before hiding itself. That's pretty much it.
Something in the code is not agreeing with the website - I'm including a instructions file.
Please let me know if anything in there should be clarified.
