ItemAttributeTemplateDatabase - jimdroberts/FishMMO GitHub Wiki

ScriptableObject database for item attribute templates, providing lookup and storage by name. Used to manage and retrieve item attribute templates for items in the game.

• private ItemAttributeDictionary attributes

  Internal dictionary of item attribute templates, serialized for inspector access.

• public ItemAttributeDictionary Attributes { get; }

  Gets the dictionary of item attribute templates.

• public ItemAttributeTemplate GetItemAttribute(string name)

  Retrieves an item attribute template by name. Returns null if not found. Parameters: - string name: The name of the attribute template to retrieve. Returns: - ItemAttributeTemplate: The item attribute template, or null if not found.*

1. Create a new ItemAttributeTemplateDatabase asset via the Unity Editor (Assets > Create > FishMMO > Item > Item Attribute > Database).
2. Add ItemAttributeTemplate assets to the database and assign unique names as keys.
3. Reference the database in scripts or item systems as needed.

// Example 1: Retrieving an attribute template by name
ItemAttributeTemplateDatabase db = ...; // Reference to the database
ItemAttributeTemplate attr = db.GetItemAttribute("Strength");
if (attr != null) {
    // Use the attribute template
}

// Example 2: Accessing all attributes
foreach (var pair in db.Attributes) {
    string attrName = pair.Key;
    ItemAttributeTemplate template = pair.Value;
    // Process each attribute
}

• Use unique and descriptive names for each attribute template key.
• Keep the database asset organized for easy lookup and maintenance.
• Reference the database in item systems to ensure consistent attribute retrieval.
• Document the purpose of each attribute in the asset's Inspector description.
