Stat Definitions

Overview

A Stat Definition is the description of a mutable field. It has a type (integer or float for Game Foundation 0.4), a unique identifier (id) and a display name.

Stat Definitions are linked to the Inventory Item Definitions, through the StatDetail. An item instance modifies its own stats based on the list of Stat Definitions their Inventory Item Definition provides.

Editor Overview

Open the Stat Window by going to Window → Game Foundation → Stat. The Stat window will let you create Stat Definitions.

(1) On the left side of the panel, you can see the list of existing stats, with a + button at the bottom to create a new one.

(2) The General section gives you the id, the display name and the type of the stat. Most of this information stays read-only after the creation before the consequence of modifying them afterwards would be counter intuitive.

Creating a new stat.

By clicking on the + button, the General section displays editable versions of the id, display name and type fields.
