The Stat Manager

Overview

The Stat Manager is dealing with the mutable fields of the item instances.

An item instance can modify its stats only if its Item Definition contains a StatDetail with the list of StatDefinitions.

Getting the value of a stat

A stat can be retrieved from:

• the StatManager
• the item instance itself

// The following blocks are similar

var statValue = StatManager.GetValue("id-of-my-item", "id-of-my-stat");

var myItem = InventoryManager.FindItem("id-of-my-item");
var statValue = myItem.GetStat("id-of-my-stat");

var statCatalog = GameFoundation.catalogs.statCatalog;
var myStat = statCatalog.FindStatDefinition("id-of-my-stat");

var statValue = StatManager.GetValue(myItem, myStat);
var statValue = myItem.GetStat(myStat);

Each method of the StatManager API proposes multiple variants, using the references to the item instance and the stat definition or their id.

Updating a stat

The API is similar to the getter methods

StatManager.SetValue("id-of-my-item", "id-of-my-stat", 42);

var statCatalog = GameFoundation.catalogs.statCatalog;
var myItem = InventoryManager.FindItem("id-of-my-item");
var myStat = statCatalog.FindStatDefinition("id-of-my-stat");
myItem.SetStat(myStat, 42);

In the next version of Game Foundation, this manager will be merged into the Inventory Manager.
