Attribute System Impacting Equipment and Weapons

Scripting
1

Hi guys,
I have pretty much made up my mind about my items/gear system and I’m gonna use scriptable objects.
I don’t know yet how to set up my sort of “RPG attributes” script to be able to :

  • attributes points on level up
  • get my attributes to impact certain items/weapons properties depending on their type (like force would impact only “heavy type” weapon etc.

Any input or advices would be really appreciated :slight_smile:

Use a ScriptableObject for your attributes too and expose methods that let you dynamically calculate values.

int baseHealth = 100;
int currentDamage = 0;

public int CalculateActualHealth(Equipment equipment)
{
   int boostedHealth = equipment.CalculateHealthBonus();

   return (baseHealth + boostedHealth) - currentDamage;
}

You could expose a LevelUp() function to adjust attributes, it depends on how your points are allocated.

Hi ! Thanks, this is basically the road I have taken.

But i dont think i have ever seen this sort of “int method” :s
Is this an actual method ? If yes where do u call it ?

Is this a “constructor” ?
