FAQ

Can Items be created in runtime?

Yes. You have two main ways. You can create item descriptor assets in runtime, or you can use parameters to customize the properties of an item, or both.

For example, I want a weapon to spawn with random damage in a range: I can assign a damage parameter and give it a value of my choice when creating the spawned item.

Does it support GAS (Gameplay Ability System)?

While this plugins doesn’t directly integrate GAS for dependency reasons, it has been used before with it and all concepts of the plugin are friendly to it, so you can easily integrate it in your projects.
