Migrating Plugin

To migrate the GASP-ALS-R plugin to your own Unreal Engine project, you can follow these steps:

1. Copy the GASP-ALS-R folder to your project's Plugins folder and build.
2. In Project Settings > GameplayTags > Gameplay Tag Table List, add /GAR/Example/Core/Data/DT_GarExtra_GameplayTags.
3. Launch the project, an error message will prompt you to add collision settings, click add at the end of the message.
4. Enjoy :)
