Character Types
Character Types are Scriptable Objects that define core aspects of a character. They are the heart of the Character Management System.
Note
All Characters Require a Character Type.
Character Type Base
All Character Types inherit from CharacterTypeBaseSO, which contains the core properties shared across all Character Types.
Character Type Variants
| Variant | Modularity | Runtime Customization | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unified | Single spritesheet | None | Pre-created, fixed characters |
| Layered | Layered spritesheets | High | Modular, editable characters |
1. Unified Character Type
Each character uses a single spritesheet containing the fully assembled character. No runtime customization is possible.
- Use Case: Characters with fixed, pre-rendered appearances.
- Example: Simplistic characters where their appearance is pre-determined and won't need to be changed.

2. Layered Character Type
A set of separate spritesheets, each containing one visual layer of the character.

- Example: Body, Outfit, Hairstyle, Accessory
