Universal Item System for Flax Engine

Allows to make anny kind of item for any kind of game

Note

Design Inspiraction

Pulled a idea from Minecraft item system.
Minecraft has very interesting item system just by looking at attributes from user view
So this system fallows this idea

Item Structure

Type	Role
Item	Single Item Data Contener
Item::Data	Runtime item representacion
Item::Attribute	Runtime item attribute representacion
Item::Asset	Static item representacion

Important

Attributes can be any type
The internal data is stored as byte array max size is 127 bytes
Going past the 127 bytes limit wil couse the bytes to chopp by the item system

Attribute types

• null - no data
• Bool - uses 1 byte
• Decimal - it can be a float or double depending on value uses 4 to 8 byte
• Text - a string with max size of 63 w_chars
• UnsindedInteger - any unsinded integer uses 1 to 8 byte
• Integer - any integer uses 1 to 8 byte
• Custom - a wild card data can be anything

Caution

Custom is unsafe because it is a wild card when using it make sure the name is unique and data size is known and don't trust the network replicated values
try to not push large blocks of data to attributes
