I am trying to access the value of an active ability variable in a Global Machine Schematic
The Ability Variable> is set to Variable Origin=Selected Data and Data Origin= Local (but I've tried also Global, Object ..) but when checking with the node Variable Exists in the global machine, I keep getting "the variable doesn't exist" through the Unity Console.
I think I might be missing something...

Yeah ... is the ability stored in selected data for the schematic of the global machine to have access to it?

E.g. you need to use a Select Ability node to get the ability instance of a combatant to be able to access it's variables through selected data.

Schematics animating an action automatically have access to it via local selected data using the data key action. So, your ability's schematics can access it's variables using variable origin Selected Data, data key action and data origin Local.
