SkillSystem

SkillSystem is a lightweight, modular and editor-friendly skill framework for Unity. It allows developers to quickly create skill data (ScriptableObjects), generate skill logic classes, and control skill state changes at runtime through a clean and extensible architecture.

Features

SkillSystem offers the following capabilities:

Automatic Class Generation

• Generate SkillData classes (ScriptableObjects)
• Generate corresponding Skill logic classes
• Create Skill ScriptableObject instances directly from the editor
• Automatically assign the SkillName field

Editor Window Tools

• “Skill Creator” editor window for creating skills with one click
• Simple and predictable editor workflow

Runtime Skill Manager

• Loads all SkillData assets automatically from Resources
• Dynamically creates skill logic instances at runtime
• Initializes skills on demand
• Changes skill states through a centralized manager
• Reflection is only used for initial skill discovery

Fully Testable Architecture

• Edit Mode tests for class & asset generation
• Play Mode tests for runtime initialize and change state logic

Getting Started

Install via UPM with git URL

https://github.com/Emre-Emiroglu/SkillSystem.git

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Emre-Emiroglu/SkillSystem.git

This project is developed using Unity version 6000.2.6f2.

Usage

1. Creating Skills from the Editor

Open the skill creation window: Tools → Skill Creator

From this window you can:

• Generate SkillData class
• Generate Skill logic class
• Create the Skill ScriptableObject
• Automatically assign the SkillName field

2. Writing Skill Logic

An example auto-generated skill class:

public sealed class TestSkill :BaseSkill<TestSkillData>
{
    public override void Initialize(TestSkillData skillData)
    {
        base.Initialize(skillData);
        
        // TODO: TestSkill initialize logic here
    }

    public override void ChangeState(SkillState newSkillState)
    {
        base.ChangeState(newSkillState);
        
        // TODO: TestSkill change state logic here
    }
}

3. Using SkillManager at Runtime

Initialize the SkillManager

Call this once (e.g., in a GameManager):

SkillManager.InitializeManager();

Initialize a Skill

Creates and initializes the skill instance if needed:

SkillManager.InitializeSkill("TestSkill");

Change Skill State

Updates the runtime state of a skill:

SkillManager.ChangeSkillState("TestSkill", SkillState.Unlocked);
