Ability System Globals (optional) #
Initialization of Ability System Globals for GAS is important and usually done in an Asset Manager subclass.
GAS Companion does it by default in a PostEngineInit delegate (after engine is fully initialized) as a failsafe mechanism. And only do so if Ability System Globals wasn't initialized previously in the engine lifecycle.
There is one configuration property that lets you customize this. If you turn on bPreventGlobalDataInitialization (Default is false), the editor will display the following notification, with a clickable link
Notification will only be displayed if current configuration for the Asset Manager Class Name is the engine's default.
Upon clicking the link, Asset Manager Class Name configuration property will be updated to use GSCAssetManager. This class is a direct child of AssetManager with a single override StartInitialLoading(), whose role is to call InitGlobalData() on Ability System Globals for GAS.
This effectively result in the same behavior. In both case, InitGlobalData() is ensured to be called once, either from within an AssetManager or a little later in GAS Companion runtime module (when engine is initialized).
