In this tutorial we’ll set up weapon equipment of our status system.
We’ll set up different kinds of weapons and multiple versions of each:
- daggers
- swords
- axes
- hammers
- bows
- staves
Each have their own characteristics and will use the status bonuses we’ve set up earlier to change the wearer’s defence modifier attribute values, e.g. daggers doing more damage on small targets and less damage on larger targets.
Learn more about equipment in this documentation.
To make things a bit easier on my creativity, I’ll just number the different versions, e.g. dagger 1, dagger 2, etc. – feel free to be more creative with your naming. Also, each version of a weapon type will use the same icon, you can naturally use different icons if you want.
Navigate to Inventory > Equipment, we’ll change the Default equipment and add additional equipment.
We’ll only set up a few variants of each weapon here. In case you want more, tutorial 12.5 is an optional addition with even more weapons for higher levels.
