in Cell i have a PopulateCell function that takes in a list of EntityData and goes through and instantiates and initialises each Entity with its EntityData to load the world from a save how do i differentiate between different EntityData ? maybe make it abstract as well and have each Entity have a different type of data, or maybe through an enum?

1. no 2. yes if i use an abstract class, how do i differentiate between the classes that inherit from CellEntity in Cell?

Making my functions more generic

i call this function to add all stats basically since each data object will need a different set of stats when my data objects are initialised since i don't know how to do it at construction (in unity)

Making my functions more generic

oh and is there a similarly more performant way to implement this function? i haven't changed the Stat class to implement an interface yet so keep that in mind i use the dict of stats i got from the other function and then take in another dict of stats that i want to add stats to, but only add them if the dict doesn't already have them

public void AddMissingStatsWithTag(Dictionary<string, Stat> dict, string tagName)
{
    Dictionary<string, Stat> fullDict = StatsWithTag(tagName);

    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Stat> pair in fullDict)
    {
        if (!dict.ContainsKey(pair.Key))
        {
            dict.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value);
        }
    }
}

public void AddMissingStatsWithTag(Dictionary<string, Stat> dict, string tagName)
{
    Dictionary<string, Stat> fullDict = StatsWithTag(tagName);

    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Stat> pair in fullDict)
    {
        if (!dict.ContainsKey(pair.Key))
        {
            dict.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value);
        }
    }
}
