20 Equipment

In this tutorial we’ll add equipment to the game.

Weapons, armor … things a combatant can wear. Equipment usually gives status bonuses, but can also be used to add abilities while equipped, override animations and do many other things. Equipment is equipped on equipment slots.

We’ll set up:

  • equipment slots
  • equipment slot set templates
  • equipment

Let’s get to it!

Equipment Slots #

Equipment slots are used to equip equipment on them – each equipment can occupy one or multiple slots, as well as block other slots. We’ll use a simple setup where each equipment will only occupy one slot.

Open the ORK editor and navigate to Inventory > Equipment Slots.

You’ll notice that there is already a bunch of them set up, but we’ll only use these 3:

  • Weapon
  • Armor
  • Accessory

So, remove the following 3 equipment slots by selecting them and clicking on the Remove button above the data list:

  • Shield
  • Helmet
  • Shoes

Now, select the Weapon equipment slot, we’ll take a quick look at the settings – we don’t need to change anything on any of the equipment slots.

Content Information #

As usual, this is where you define the name, icon, etc.

Base Settings #

You can set an equipment slot to be hidden, if unequipping is allowed (i.e. you can change equipment but not remove it), and if the slot’s equipment will contribute to the wearer (e.g. this can be used to create an off-hand weapon to switch to).

Empty Slot Content #

This is a separate content information that’s used as the equipment content of the slot when it’s not equipped with anything.

Unavailable Slot Content #

This is a separate content information that’s used as the equipment content of the slot when the slot is not available to the combatant.

Equipment Slot Set Templates #

Equipment slot set templates define which slots will be occupied or blocked by an equipment. Equipment can use the templates for a reusable setup, as well as define their own custom setup.

We’ll only use slot set templates for our equipment, which is what you’ll usually do in your projects. Unless you have a setup that’s only needed by a single equipment, templates are the way to go and avoid unneeded work.

Navigate to Inventory > Equipment Slot Set Templates, we’ll change the Default template and add two additional templates.
