Ability

Ability holds the local player's unlockable abilities: the grappling hook, tethers, the wingsuit, the parachute and so on. Use it to take gear away from players (for example no wingsuit in a race) or to give it back.

Available on: Client

Values

Ability

Each value is a 32-bit hash of the game's ability name (shown in the second column).

Used by (see Local):

• Local.LockAbility(ability): the local player can no longer use the ability.
• Local.UnlockAbility(ability): the local player can use the ability again.
• Local.IsAbilityUnlocked(ability): true while the local player can use it.

These only affect the local player's game and are not synced. To lock an ability for everyone, do it in every client (for example from a server event sent to all players).
