LF Attribute Forge - Ultimate Version

Why Upgrade to Ultimate?

The Ultimate Version adds the Modifier System - a complete framework for temporary effects, buffs, debuffs, and status effects. Build World of Warcraft-style buff systems with complex condition logic, durations, stacking, and three different implementation approaches.

Perfect For:

• Action RPGs: Soulslike status effects (Poison, Bleed, Blessed Recovery)
• MMORPGs: Raid buffs, class abilities, consumable effects
• Strategy Games: Conditional unit buffs, terrain modifiers, aura effects
• Roguelikes: Procedural buff/debuff generation with complex rules
• Any RPG: Temporary stat modifications with condition checks

Real-World Example: Combat Fury Modifier

Visual configuration creates complex conditional buff:

• Condition: If (Health < 50%) AND (NOT Poisoned)
• Effect: +25% Attack Damage, +15% Attack Speed
• Duration: 10 seconds
• Stack Limit: 3 stacks maximum
• Priority: Apply before equipment buffs

All configured visually. Generates Component, Helper, AND Asset scripts automatically.

The Modifier System (Ultimate Tier)

The Modifier System sits in the top tier of the three-tier architecture:

totalValue = baseValue + formulaBonus + modifierBonus

Ultimate Version:
• baseValue    - You set this (equipment, upgrades)
• formulaBonus - Calculated by Influence System (Pro)
• modifierBonus - Calculated by Modifier System (Ultimate)

Example: Attack Damage attribute
baseValue = 50 (from weapon)
formulaBonus = Strength × 2 (from Pro formula)
modifierBonus = +25% (from Combat Fury buff)
totalValue = 50 + (30 × 2) + ((50 + 60) × 0.25) = 137.5 damage

Three Implementation Approaches

Every modifier can be generated in three different forms to suit your workflow:

1. Component Approach (MonoBehaviour)

• Workflow: Drag & drop onto GameObjects
• Perfect for: Trigger zones, equipment systems, environmental effects
• Configuration: Inspector-driven with visual fields
• Example: Health Boost Zone that applies +50 HP when player enters

2. Helper Approach (Static Methods)

• Workflow: Call from any script with runtime parameters
• Perfect for: Combat systems, spells, dynamic effects
• Configuration: Code-driven with parameter overrides
• Example: CombatFuryHelper.Apply(character, duration: 15f, damageBonus: 30%)

3. Asset Approach (ScriptableObjects)

• Workflow: Create assets in Project window
• Perfect for: Item databases, modding support, designer tools
• Configuration: Data-driven with asset files
• Example: BerserkerRage asset that designers can configure

Modification Types

• Flat Additions: +50 Health, +10 Damage
• Percentage Increases: +25% Attack Speed, +15% Defense
• Multipliers: ×1.5 Movement Speed, ×2.0 Experience Gain
• Mixed: Combine multiple types in one modifier

Sophisticated Condition System

Build complex conditional logic visually:

Attribute Conditions

• Compare attribute values: Health < 50%, Mana >= 25%
• Operators: >, <, ==, >=, <=, !=
• Absolute or percentage comparisons
• Multiple attribute checks in one condition

Modifier Conditions

• Check for presence of other modifiers
• "Has Strength Buff", "NOT Poisoned"
• Chain multiple modifier checks

Logic Operators

• AND: All conditions must be true
• OR: Any condition must be true
• NOT: Negate condition result
• Combine operators for complex logic trees

Duration & Stacking System

• Time-Based Duration: Effects expire automatically after X seconds
• Permanent Modifiers: Set duration to 0 for persistent effects
• Stackable Modifiers: Same buff can apply multiple times
• Max Stack Limits: Prevent infinite stacking
• Priority System: Control application order (equipment before consumables)
• Auto Cleanup: Expired modifiers removed automatically

Regeneration Control

Modifiers can affect regeneration systems from the Base version:

• Modify Rate (Flat): +5 HP/sec regeneration
• Modify Rate (Percentage): +25% faster regeneration
• Modify Rate (Multiply): ×2.0 regeneration speed
• Modify Delay: Change cooldown before regen starts
• Disable Regeneration: Poison that stops HP recovery

What Gets Generated (Ultimate Features)

Soulslike Demo System

Complete working example with 30+ generated modifiers:

• 16 Attributes: Vigor, Health, Stamina, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, etc.
• Complex Formulas: Health = Vigor × 26.8 + 400, Equipment Load affected by items
• 30+ Modifiers: Assassin's Edge, Blessed Recovery, Bloodlust Frenzy, Combat Fury, Poison Weakness
• All Three Approaches: Component, Helper, and Asset implementations
• Real-World Examples: Best practices for integration

Performance Characteristics

• Efficient condition evaluation - early exit when conditions fail
• Automatic expiration - timer-based cleanup for temporary effects
• Priority-based application - predictable modifier order
• Event-driven updates - only recalculates when modifiers change
• Memory footprint: ~20KB per modifier group

Requirements

• LF Attribute Forge Pro Version (includes Free Version)
• Unity 2021.3 or newer
• Existing AttributeData and Influence System configured
• No additional third-party dependencies
