18 Combatants Part 2: Players

Table of Contents

In this tutorial we’ll set up the player’s combatants.

We’ll set up the following player combatants:

  • warrior (tank)
  • rogue (fast DPS)
  • ranger (DPS, bows)
  • wizard (magical DPS, elemental magic)
  • cleric (magical DPS, healing and light/dark magic)
  • monk (weaponless DPS)

Navigate to Combatants > Combatants, we’ll change the Default combatant and add additional combatants.

0: Warrior #

We’ll start with the player’s tank.

Content Information #

  • Name
    Set to Warrior.
  • Description
    Set to Protects and attacks..

Base Settings #

  • Combatant Type
    Select Tank.

We’ll revisit these settings in other tutorials when we set up the prefab of the combatant.

Status Settings #

  • Start Level
    Set to 1.
    This is the level that’ll be used when creating a combatant with the Default level settings.
  • Class
    We didn’t really touch on classes, as they’re not needed for our status system setup, but they’ll be part of other tutorial series.
    Classes are completely optional – a combatant doesn’t need to have a class at all. You can select the Default class if you want, but it isn’t required.

Status Value Settings #

This is where you define the used status development, optional status value start values, experience rewards, etc.

For our player combatants we’ll just have to define their status development.

  • Has Status Development
    Enable this setting.
    Using a status development is optional, you can also create combatants without them, e.g. using a custom development systems via schematics, or developing via classes.
  • Status Development
    Select Tank.

Modifier Settings #

The modifier settings define which defence modifiers are used (Defence Modifier IDs) and the start values for attack/defence modifier attributes.

We’ll only set up the defence modifiers for our player combatants, they’ll have the default start values (100) for all attack/defence modifier attributes. These default start values are defined by the modifiers. Our enemies will have individual attack modifier strengths and weaknesses.
