✨ Sample Effects

Demo IUseEffect implementations provided as simple ScriptableObject assets.

Used by the Inventory system (via ItemUseSystem) to trigger behaviour when an item is used.

🧩 These are examples only — safe to delete or replace 💡 They exist to show the expected integration pattern, not to be production systems

---

🎯 Purpose

Provide minimal, working examples of authorable item-use effects.

These demonstrate how:

• ScriptableObject effects integrate with the Inventory system
• ItemDefinition.useEffects[] drives runtime behaviour
• IUseEffect is resolved and executed by ItemUseSystem

---

📦 Contents

File	Description
UseEffectObject	Sample base class implementing IUseEffect
DebugPingEffect	Logs a message when the item is used
SpawnVfxEffect	Spawns a VFX prefab at the target for a short time

---

🚀 Usage

1. Create or open an ItemDefinition
2. Enable usage:

itemDef.usable = true;

3. Assign one or more effects:

itemDef.useEffects = new ScriptableObject[]
{
    debugPingEffect,
    spawnVfxEffect
};

When triggered via ItemUseSystem, each effect will be:

1. Resolved to IUseEffect
2. Executed in order
3. Applied to the resolved target context

---

⚠️ Important Notes

• Effects are executed only if they resolve successfully
• At least one effect must apply for the item to be consumed
• IDamageable may be null, depending on the target and effect settings
• UseEffectObject is not required — it’s just a convenience base

👉 The only requirement is:

public class MyEffect : ScriptableObject, IUseEffect

---

⚙️ Extend It

Create your own effect by implementing IUseEffect (optionally via UseEffectObject):

public class HealEffect : UseEffectObject
{
    public int healAmount = 25;

    public override void Apply(IDamageable dmg, GameObject target)
    {
        if (dmg != null)
            dmg.Heal(healAmount);
    }
}

---

🧠 Design Notes (Why this exists)

These samples intentionally:

• Avoid internal APIs
• Avoid reflection
• Use only public, supported seams
• Mirror how real gameplay code should interact with Inventory

If these examples work — your integration is correct.
