❔ Stats

I had a quick question. Is there a way to find a specific scriptable object? I'm working on stats system for a 2D project in Unity but currently when I pickup a stat it adds all of their modifiers regardless if its the right stat or not. I'm using a Event which sends the objectName on pickup to this function

 private void HandleObjectAddedToInventory(string objectName)
    {
        if (objectName == "Health Buff")
        {
            _playerStats.maxHealth = _modPickUp.mod.modifyAmount;
            _playerStats.currentHealth = _playerStats.maxHealth;
        }
    }

 private void HandleObjectAddedToInventory(string objectName)
    {
        if (objectName == "Health Buff")
        {
            _playerStats.maxHealth = _modPickUp.mod.modifyAmount;
            _playerStats.currentHealth = _playerStats.maxHealth;
        }
    }

The XY Problem

Asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem

Kevin_•15mo ago

The solution I'm looking to achieve is if I pickup say the Health Buff it only get's the Health Buffs modifyAmount rather than another stats amount.

Your current snippet doesn't show what's going wrong

Does this help?

private void HandleObjectAddedToInventory(string objectName)
    {
        if (objectName == "Health Buff")
        {
            _playerStats.maxHealth = _modPickUp.mod.modifyAmount;
            _playerStats.currentHealth = _playerStats.maxHealth;
        }
        if (objectName == "Damage Buff")
        {
            _playerStats.bulletDamage += _modPickUp.mod.modifyAmount;
        }
    }

private void HandleObjectAddedToInventory(string objectName)
    {
        if (objectName == "Health Buff")
        {
            _playerStats.maxHealth = _modPickUp.mod.modifyAmount;
            _playerStats.currentHealth = _playerStats.maxHealth;
        }
        if (objectName == "Damage Buff")
        {
            _playerStats.bulletDamage += _modPickUp.mod.modifyAmount;
        }
    }

Not really. You're basically suggesting if is broken

Kevin_•15mo ago

So basically, if I pick up the Damage Buff stat it also adds its modify amount to the maxHealth. I'm trying to figure out a way to separate the two so when I pick up the Damage Buff it does not also add that amount to the maxHealth. Sorry I suck at explaining things

So are you showing code that doesn't work, or an idea you think might work?

Kevin_•15mo ago

That doesn't work at the moment

phaseshift•15mo ago

What you're showing can't be the problem (on its own)

Lumu•15mo ago

Quick thing, have you tried printing out the objectName to console right before the if statements to be sure they actually match? Is the specific issue that the if statements aren't being triggered right now?

Kevin_•15mo ago

Yes, I've done that. Umm.... really weird I restarted the editor and um... it seems to be working as intended Before it would add the Damage buff to the players health for some reason but uhhh not anymore I guess.... Lol nothing changed from the code I don’t understand what caused the issue but 🤷
