Character Attribute Logic

[TechLord]

@Amsirahc;327316

Hey TechLord! All of my character’s stats are contained within Structs, and I was just planning on placing them within the Save Game Object for now. The game is going to be designed as an offline single-player turn-based RPG with semi-PnP related mechanics (something similar would be Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor). I’ve taken a look at the RPGAttributeBase before, but it’s been a while and I didn’t quite understand what I was looking at LOL! I’m still learning while doing, and everything I’ve seen up to this point has helped me to understand more and more how things work within the engine. The community has been a huge help so far, and I appreciate each and every one of you! One of my biggest hurdles so far has been figuring out where to start. When I get some time, I’ll sit down and go over all of my current setup and update this thread with the state of things and see if you guys have any input or advice.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi Amsirahc, I designed RPGAttribute as a Class instead of a Struct for greater flexibility. The thought at the time was dealing with Character Stats, Skills, Magic, and Items as self-contained objects that may require media components and event logic. Another factor is running into issues updating members in an Array of User Defined Structs in previous versions of the engine, I’ve been weary to revisit. No matter how the data is stored (Data Table, Save Game Object, Remote MySQL) it has to assigned to run-time variables for manipulation, a Struct could be used for this purpose. I would say figuring your RPG Ruleset is the first place to start and Character Attributes is part of that.]([FEEDBACK] Advanced Target System - Showcase - Epic Developer Community Forums)
