Godot Version 4.7.stable Question Hi, I’m currently making a buffing subsystem as a part of my pet project. I currently have a Stats class that has a BUFFABLE_CATEGORIES enum and variables that each match one of the enum entries. @tool extends Node class_name Stats enum BUFFABLE_CATEGORIES { HEA…

Do you use your own drop downs or one provided by the engine? Do you want to do this in editor or in game or both? You can do this in different ways. One would be to check which stat is picked in the drop down menu whenever you use the stat-variable. Just update it right before you use it. Another…

Guess I forgor to elaborate enough lol. I’m using the built in dropdowns, like when you use @export var foo: ENUM . Having it display in the editor, and save the values when the scene is saved will suffice (although that’s the hard part to begin with). I’d rather make an item have n buffs of diffe…

Unfortunately, that doesn’t solve my admittedly very specifically complex problem. I just need a way to have a variable (preferably a string, but an int will do just fine) display as a dropdown with custom values based in another variable’s value, in the editor. If this is in the link you sent, I d…

Ah ok, I understand. You’re most likely going to have to make an EditorPlugin to handle that, and you may need to do it with GDExtension in C++ or modify the Godot engine itself to do that. Based on what you’re saying, I believe this is an example of the XY Problem. You have an initial problem (X) …

I haven’t looked at the example @dragonforge-dev linked but he probably suggested to use custom resource classes. And that’s the way you should approach this. So have a bunch of stat buff resource classes, each responsible for a single category, all inheriting from a common base class. It’ll requir…

With an Abstract class, and a little overriding of Resource classes, I now have this nice interface: [image] They each even have their own icon to make it really easy to reference. And I can easily expand them out. [image]

Take a look at this step-by-step example I did for someone who wanted modifiable item stats for equipment, and let me know if this answers your questions. If not, I’ll make a little example project for you.
