Introduction

Flexi is an ability system framework for Unity.

While Flexi has done the general low-level logic:

• Programmers can directly jump into creating the gameplay ability system.
• Programmers can customize their task nodes and dicide how they work with the game.
• Then designers can use the built-in editor to edit ability data.
• The game finally runs abilities with the built-in runner.

P.S. Yes, it's inspired from Unreal GAS (Gameplay Ability System), but Flexi is created with different concept.

Features

• Customizable: Focus on your gameplay with user-defined stats, nodes, logics, events, etc.
• Actor: Base class to hold the stats, abilities and modifiers
• Built-in ability runners: Start from easy and not make your hands dirty
• Node-based ability editor: Built with GraphView
• Macro: Reuse your partial graphs
• Blackboard: Seperate values from graphs and inject from other sources
• Non-singleton approach: You can have multiple and different systems simutaneously

Limitations

• Not support DOTS (and not in roadmap for now)
• It's a tool for programmers, and recommended to have experienced programming skill

TODO

• Support undo/redo for the editor
• Better implementation for Status & Aura
• Enable/Disable abilities
• Add Examples: Need to show how to implement each common machanic, to lower the learning curve.
