Great video as always! Every single video you read my mind, i was just looking for this haha. I just have a question... Using these scriptableObjects to store items data, what would be the best architecture to set the "effects" for item usage? e.g.: A life potion should run a "Cure(HPpoints)" and a Key should run a "Open(Some Gate)". I always have this doubt of how would be a professional way to do it...
If you wanted to do it all completely with scriptable objects you could create another object marked as abstract to store a generic Action(); method, then extend that with a custom HealthPotionScriptableObject and DoorScriptableObject which would run code specific to what you're trying to do. And the item itself would have reference to its action scriptable object. I plan to do a video on how to expand scriptable objects with a system like that to showcase how you can make really cool things with some simple code and inheritance.
You could make an editor script to fill up the list Or use the Resources folder Or look into the Addressables System which I plan to cover in a future video
Thanks for the tutorial. I have one question though. @1:02, is that a blur background behind the character sprite? Can share how to achieve that in unity?
That's not really a blur effect, the background texture is just relatively low resolution so when the render texture camera is zoomed in it looks more blurry For blur in 3D you can use the Volume component, in 2D you need some kind of shader unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=dKsqupXLuSU
There is one kind of huge gotcha with this technique. If you ever get an error in a scripts le object script it won't compile and unity will sometimes lose the reference in game objects. You'll suddenly find nulls where scriptabls objects should be and things will stop working. I use a much more advanced version of this - I create device profiles for device-specific code (android and iOS), network profiles for different servers (and local file reading and writing counts as a 'server' for this process) and a huge event system where the game object itself is the unity event and I can attach it to script handlers where I need them. Its a great system... Until I break something and I have to figure out where the references got lost. Then it's a headache.
Oh thats a pretty serious issue! I normally don't touch the definition after making it so I never had that happen but that does seem like it could become a nightmare.
I was waiting for 12:16 so much... and I watched your another video but I cannot find how to make all those effects with sprites. Where should I read more about EditorGUILayout and GUILayout? Thanks
To draw the sprite I'm using GUILayout.Box(texture, GUILayout.Width(150), GUILaout.Height(150)); And the fields are EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(); Check the project files to see all the code

Hey code monkey, I love your vids and I am currently making a game based on your "Endless Runner Level Generator in Unity" video, and I was wandering how I could make a score system based on distance, with a high score and last score. I have been trying to figure it out for almost 2 weeks now, if you could make a video on how to do this it would really mean a lot. thanks for reading this😊
I'm not a programmer, but I think I can help. You could have a increasing counter (actual score), and when that game ends, compare the actual score with the high score. If it's higher than the high score, overwrite the high score with the actual score. I'm not experienced in Unity, but I hope that helped. :)
In that case the player is always moving right so you can use the distance traveled as the score, just capture the death position.x and compare with the startPosition.x Then you can present it in a highscore table like I made here th-cam.com/video/iAbaqGYdnyI/w-d-xo.html
@@IyaB Or, you can use the Game Time for calculating your score. Capture the StartTime when the player started to run and capture the Time that player has died (DeathTime). Then calculate the total time played: DeathTime - StartTime = TimePlayed, and you can apply some multiplier to increase the number and make it your score, like Score = (DeathTime - StartTime) * 1.53f
Thanks for the video! I have a question. What if I don't care about the order and just want the correct amount of ingredients in the slots? So the two pieces of wood could go anywhere. It seems like I would need to make dozens of possible scriptable objects for the recipe result. Is there a simpler way of doing that?
If you don't care about the specific position of the objects then instead you would just store a List of all the ingredients instead of the position matrix. Then when the player places any ingredient just cycle through the input grid and compare against the flat List That's basically what I did in this crafting system unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=_aC3NVIQ-ok The objects are placed anywhere on the anvil, then when crafting it just checks if the objects on the anvil match any recipe's List input
I'm trying to see how much I can modularize my code. One thing I notice in these tutorials is there's always a step like "now let's make the recipe list." For commonly-modified groups of items, that's gonna be a bottleneck for multiple designers. Is there a way to make recipes work without a centralized recipe list? Like, is there a good way in code to look through all recipe assets in the project? (Could have data on them to still require they be manually enabled or whatever.)
You probably don't need to update the list for every single new item you do, so if you're building dozens of items per day just update once per day. Alternatively you can look into either Resources or Addressables to dynamically load objects from a certain folder and it will load new ones as you create them. unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=C6i_JiRoIfk Although like I said I feel that's overkill.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Yeah I'm more thinking of situations where you have several designers working on items, and it'd be nice to not have to regularly merge a big Items List. I figured the most modular thing would be to have a flag/component on the items themselves about whether to be included, and no one has to manually update an Items List. It sounds like folder structure loading is the main option Unity provides for that, not really that flag/component concept I'm hoping for?
@@G-Major sorry to resurrect this 3 month old post, but you could always add a boolean in your scriptable object, that by default would be false, and you would also check that when you are crafting an item (it would have to be true in order to be able to craft it). So when you felt ready to "add" it, you would simply turn the boolean to true, and you would be set. This would be in addition to the folder loading that unity provides (The recipes would be loaded but unobtainable until you manually checked the boolean to true)
Hi!, i have a huge question, at timestamp 0:17 i saw that game where your sprites have shadows in a 3d enviroment! how did you do that? please do a tutorial :D
That's from the Wash your Hands game th-cam.com/video/q9pe-wH7eZ8/w-d-xo.html The characters look 2d but they are not SpriteRenderers, they are flat meshes so the lights are just standard 3d lights. th-cam.com/video/11c9rWRotJ8/w-d-xo.html
You could but then you would have to fix all the issues with the array being null by default and not having the correct size. In this case since the design is for the crafting system to be a fixed size having a fixed number of fields was the simpler approach.
Also 2d arrays don't show in the inspector by default. Unless you have something like Odin inspector or are creating a custom inspector for your item this will completely defeat the purpose.
@@pyroton ah fair enough. My bad for commenting without watching the whole video (I watched about half before deciding I wasn't going to learn anything new here as I already use scriptavle objects for most of my projects)

On install i get, Assets\CraftingSystemSO\Inventory\Scripts\ItemWorld.cs(4,42): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'LWRP' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine.Experimental.Rendering' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Hi Code Monkey, After watching this video, I'm considering diving into scriptable objects for my current project. Suppose I want to have lots of items with a wide variety of different uses--some do damage, some start fires, some teleport the player, etc. It seems like there are at least two ways to do this: use one SO definition with lots of fields (dmgAmount, canIgnite, canTeleport, etc.) for all the items, or create a few different item-related SO definitions (WeaponSO, TeleportItemSO, etc.) and use them selectively for appropriate item types. Am I looking at this the right way? It seems like the first way would give a lot of items unnecessary fields (e.g. having to specify that water bottles can't start fires).
Might be better to abstract it a bit more, maybe a AbilitySO then you create one for FireDamage, another for Teleport and on the ItemSO you would store a list of AbilitySO. If you want different fields, you can extend AbilitySO FireAbilitySO : AbilitySO { public int fireDamageAmount; }
hi, i'm new to video game development and i would like to hear your opinion on framwork; Do you think it's possible to make video games without Framwork?
This is not visual scripting, this is creating asset files that have a certain definition which can then be set with any data you want. For visual scripting Unity has Bolt th-cam.com/video/8y6akNTUt2Y/w-d-xo.html
Code Monkey yes I understand that they aren’t blueprint to that point. I was wondering this before I watched the video and my question was answered. Scriptable objects work similar to blueprints when it comes to data. You create an asset that holds all your UI, object types etc, instead of hard coding them in the main script. Very clever. Wish I would’ve known about these before I made the switch to Unreal would’ve definitely kept me intrigued with the design process of unity.
I was hoping you could help me! I was playing around with this system earlier when I accidentally leaned on my keyboard 😂 now the items in my inventory do not show numbers, so for example if I have five wood in my inventory instead of the number 5 showing it is replaced with a white box, any idea on what I could have possibly messed up or that I should look into for a possible fix?
so i just made the inventory super huge and the numbers show again if i have the inventory normal size they do not show, i also get a console error telling me to please remove the canvas renderer component from the game objects because it is no longer needed. did I maybe mess something up with TextMeshPro?
@@CodeMonkeyUnity thank you for taking the time to reply! I figured it out after I just accidently increased the HDR on the white text making it unreadable, a quick little fix :)
@ 2:45 mins what did codemonkey mean by using the scriptableobject as the type and not have to use the enum? I would like to use this correct approach but didn't understand.
Are you familiar with ScriptableObjects? You can define a structure and create objects in your project files and define their data. Watch this one th-cam.com/video/7jxS8HIny3Q/w-d-xo.html So with that instead of having an enum to define the item type, you define a scriptable object and create multiple assets where each represents a different item type.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Yes, I did watch your video on the basics of scriptableObjects. Thank you for the great content. I wasn't clear about the enum part but now I am. Perfect! That clears it up for me. Thanks and have a good day.
Heya CM, It's been bothering me for a while, but the way you say "In-depth tutorials" kinda sounds like "in-ept tutorials", which I don't think is the intention here. Might be just me, but something to keep in mind.
Hello! hope all is well my friend! I'm a little stuck and was hoping you could help. So I am having issues adding items that the player can click or even just walk over and pick up and have that item add to the inventory that is set up with this system, I have an enemy in my world that the player does damage to and kills, my goal is that when the player kills the enemy they drop the item and then the player can collect said item, (i have everything working such as the player kills the enemy and the item drops except the player does not pickup the item) I tried to follow your inventory system video but that system is not set up for scriptable objects just the normal objects like coins. Thanks in advance!
The main advantage compared to the previous method is that all the recipes are in external assets. So a designer could add more items and recipes without having to touch the code.
@@xkittencatx an array containing all the 3x3 recipes. Note that in day to day use they're nearly the same but SO is slightly cleaner since you touch assets instead of singleton prefabs.

@@CodeMonkeyUnity thank you for taking the time to reply! I figured it out after I just accidently increased the HDR on the white text making it unreadable, a quick little fix :)
@ 2:45 mins what did codemonkey mean by using the scriptableobject as the type and not have to use the enum? I would like to use this correct approach but didn't understand.
Are you familiar with ScriptableObjects? You can define a structure and create objects in your project files and define their data. Watch this one th-cam.com/video/7jxS8HIny3Q/w-d-xo.html
So with that instead of having an enum to define the item type, you define a scriptable object and create multiple assets where each represents a different item type.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Yes, I did watch your video on the basics of scriptableObjects. Thank you for the great content.
I wasn't clear about the enum part but now I am. Perfect! That clears it up for me.
Thanks and have a good day.
Heya CM,
It's been bothering me for a while, but the way you say "In-depth tutorials" kinda sounds like "in-ept tutorials", which I don't think is the intention here. Might be just me, but something to keep in mind.
Neuroth it’s not just you I keep hearing too, I was going to mention it in a comment cause it was kinda funny
Yeah I know it does sound a bit off, whenever I re-record the intro I'll make sure to use a different word like "detailed tutorials"
Hello! hope all is well my friend! I'm a little stuck and was hoping you could help. So I am having issues adding items that the player can click or even just walk over and pick up and have that item add to the inventory that is set up with this system, I have an enemy in my world that the player does damage to and kills, my goal is that when the player kills the enemy they drop the item and then the player can collect said item, (i have everything working such as the player kills the enemy and the item drops except the player does not pickup the item) I tried to follow your inventory system video but that system is not set up for scriptable objects just the normal objects like coins. Thanks in advance!
def earned another sub by the way! great video and such an amazing system to try and work on. keep it up my friend
Can you do a character tutorial? Thanks a lot!
I covered how my animation system works here th-cam.com/video/11c9rWRotJ8/w-d-xo.html
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thank you
Nothing annoys me more than the recipe for sticks being two oak logs instead of planks
i only see a minor advantage over a singleton with a list of recipes.
The main advantage compared to the previous method is that all the recipes are in external assets. So a designer could add more items and recipes without having to touch the code.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity not if the recipes are an array of ingredients you don't need to touch code
I know you posted this comment a while ago, but would you mind detailing how you'd use singletons in this instance? I'm really interested!
@@xkittencatx an array containing all the 3x3 recipes.
Note that in day to day use they're nearly the same but SO is slightly cleaner since you touch assets instead of singleton prefabs.
Can i have more than 1 Scriptable Objects in the player hands? like the player have a sword in a hand, and a shield in the another hand.
Scriptable Objects are just data so yes you can organize them in any way you want and create whatever slots you want.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity thanks Sir
