NetSerialize won't work for FNames

[Juan-Ignacio-Tubio]

I'm working on Unreal Engine 5.3.2, Gameplay Abilities plugin version 1.0.

When creating a custom TargetData class in order to pass information through the event's handle, you can't use NetSerialize on FName variables. The compiler brings up an error saying that NetSerialize is not a member of FName.

What I have been able to do for my specific implementation is pass that data that would have been an FName as a string, and use SerializeAsANSICharArray() in order to serialize the data in that string and pass it in the handle.

// This is required for all child structs of FGameplayAbilityTargetData
bool NetSerialize(FArchive& Ar, class UPackageMap* Map, bool& bOutSuccess)
{
MyFName.SerializeAsANSICharArray(Ar);
bOutSuccess = true;
return true;
}
