Abilities about haldric HOT 8 CLOSED

Will this allow more than just an ID? Or would I need to also define separate abilities for healing 8, 12, 16, etc?

from haldric.

What about custom abilities? With custom attributes?

from haldric.

@Pentarctagon This would require to define new abilities for heal 8, 12, 16, etc.

@GregoryLundberg you could of course define custom abilities in a new yaml files.

An ability might look like this:

id:  custom_ability
name: custom
effects:
  - {
      sub: 1
      apply_to: damage 
      affect_self: false
      affect_enemies: true
    }

this would require some "effect" class / structure, but I don't see why that would not be possible.

About yaml, here's a Godot asset to parse and read them: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/254

from haldric.

We are aware of that library and have been using it. Its not in the master for a now since we are experimenting with a different approach right now and we are updating the scripts to godot 3.1 features

from haldric.

YAML was originally planned to be used for UMC, but when we use the godot engine for mod creation (which is the new plan) then I think of a simple inheritation approach.
Say, having a base Ability that a script can inherit from, and have UMC creators overwrite virtual functions in which the logic and values.

Updated, as YAML is ruled out.

Abilities are supported now.
