📊 Rules — Ordering

📦 Folder Overview

This folder defines the canonical priority constants used by rule systems.

It acts as the single source of truth for rule execution ordering.

🎯 Purpose

Ordering constants exist to:

  • Ensure deterministic rule execution
  • Provide shared priority bands across rules
  • Avoid hardcoded values in rule implementations

🧩 What Lives Here

  • DamageRulePriority
  • HealRulePriority

These define well-known priority ranges used by rule components.

🧠 Usage Guidance

Rule implementations use these constants for their Priority:

public int Priority => DamageRulePriority.Armor;

Rule hubs:

  • Sort rules in ascending priority
  • Execute them in that order

⚠️ Important Notes

Constraints

This folder should contain:

  • Constants only
  • No logic
  • No dependencies on runtime systems

Boundaries

Do not include:

  • Rule implementations
  • Gameplay logic
  • Pipeline execution code
  • Conditional behaviour

This is data-only ordering configuration.

Change Impact

Changing values here:

  • Alters execution order globally
  • Affects all prefabs using rules
  • May impact gameplay balance

Treat changes as global behaviour changes.

  • Rules (Damage / Heal)
  • Rule Hubs
  • Health System
