Hi guys, as the title says, I'm looking for a way to make a passive ability that activates when a character's power pool hits 0, and deactivates whenever the character regains resource. The only way I can figure out to make this work would be to make a StatusEffect for ApplyStatusEffectOnEventWithChance, where the base chance to apply is 1 and every point of resource adds a -1. However, that wouldn't disable the effect when the character regains resource.

Any tips?

I think you could utilize ActivationPrerequisites and DeactivationPrerequisites properties of the GenericAbilityComponent to implement this, together with the IsClassPowerPoolCount conditional.

Using Brute Force as a passive ability example, something like this?

Oh, that looks promising, thanks a million. I'll see what I can do with it on the weekend!

Update: Noqn's solution works perfectly.
