How to Use the CustomEffect Class in Status+

The CustomEffect class in the MD.Status namespace allows you to apply custom effects to a status by specifying its ID and name. You can also set the operation method, duration, and various other parameters. This guide is intended to help you understand how to use this class.

Prerequisites

  • Import Status+ into your Unity project.

  • Have NodeCanvas installed and be familiar with using Blackboards.

Class Parameters and Fields

Below is a list of important parameters and what they mean:

  • targetBlackboard: The Blackboard containing the status variables.

  • statusID: The ID of the status you want to affect.

  • statusName: The name of the status you want to affect.

  • value: The value to set or add to the status.

  • operation: Enum specifying the operation to perform on the existing value (Set or Add).

  • perSecond: Whether to apply the change per second.

  • duration: The duration of the effect.

  • checkMinMax: Whether to check for minimum and maximum values for the status.

  • minValue: The minimum allowable value for the status.

  • maxValue: The maximum allowable value for the status.

Setting Up

  1. Create a CustomEffect Task: Find the CustomEffect action task in the NodeCanvas tasks panel and add it to your flow.

  2. Configure the Blackboard: Assign the target blackboard containing your status variables to targetBlackboard.

Filling in Values

  1. Set Status ID and Name: Enter the ID and name of the status you want to change in statusID and statusName.

  2. Value and Operation: Input the value to set or add and choose the operation (either Set or Add).

  3. Duration: Set how long the effect will last in duration.

Optional Settings

  1. Per Second: Tick this if you want the value to be applied per second.

  2. Min and Max: If checkMinMax is ticked, fill in minValue and maxValue.

Running the Task

Once everything is set up, run your game. The CustomEffect will execute and make the necessary changes to the status based on the parameters you've set.

Debugging

If things aren’t working as expected:

  • Make sure the targetBlackboard contains the status variables you specified.

  • Verify that you entered the correct statusID and statusName.
