How to call functions based off of an int?,Making Items with unique effects

Hi!

You can do t$$anonymous$$s with inheritance! Basically you start with some base class that you want your effects to influence:

 public abstract class BaseBehaviour : ScriptableObject
 {
     public abstract float CalculateDamage();
 }

Here we for example want each behaviour to calculate damage, but how they do it is irrelevant to the base class.

Then we can derive our behaviours from t$$anonymous$$s base class, instead of scriptable object or monobehaviour or whatever:

 [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "New Behaviour", menuName = "Behaviours/CriticalChance")]
 public class CriticalChance : BaseBehaviour
 {
     public float baseDamage;
     [Range(0,1)] public float critChance;
 
     public override float CalculateDamage()
     {
         if (UnityEngine.Random.value < critChance) return baseDamage * 2;
         else return baseDamage;
     }
 }
 
 [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "New Behaviour", menuName = "Behaviours/MissChance")]
 public class MissChance : BaseBehaviour
 {
     public float baseDamage;
     [Range(0, 1)] public float missChance;
 
     public override float CalculateDamage()
     {
         if (UnityEngine.Random.value < missChance) return 0;
         else return baseDamage;
     }
 }

Notice that each of these classes override the calculate damage and use their own unique variables.

To actually use these behaviours we can do somet$$anonymous$$ng like t$$anonymous$$s:

 public BaseBehaviour behaviour;
 private void Awake()
 {
     Debug.Log(behaviour.CalculateDamage());
 
     if(behaviour is CriticalChance)
     {
         Debug.Log((behaviour as CriticalChance).critChance);
     }
 }

The great t$$anonymous$$ng is you will be able to drag both miss and crit chance into the same base behavior field, w$$anonymous$$ch is extremely useful.

If for whatever reason you need to do somet$$anonymous$$ng with a specific type like crit chance, you can still cast it into that type.

T$$anonymous$$s way you can give all of your items easily customizable behaviors.

Hope t$$anonymous$$s helps!
