Godot Attributes

This addon is a WIP. There are still a few issues to work out, and a lot of unit tests need to be written due to the complexity of the system.

Main Features

• Attribute Node that contains two floating point values, a base value and a current value.
• AttributeContainer Node to manage & contain each attribute instance in the parent node.
• A simple "tagging" system, similar to that in Unreal's GAS. Add & remove tags to/from attribute containers.
• Highly customizable AttributeEffects which can be applied to an Attribute to modify its values, block other effects, or modify other effects.
  • Permanent effects for base value changes
  • Temporary effects for buffs/debuffs to the current value
  • Instant, duration based, & infinite effects.
  • Highly configurable conditions for if an effect can be added or applied.
  • ModifiableValues provide
• Accurate timing system for the applying of effects with a period & expiration of duration based effects.
  • Using Godot's Time class instead of process's delta allows for near 1ms accuracy.
• Responsive & informative event/signal system
  • The emission of a single signal when safe to do so allows for the ability to instantly add & remove effects to an attribute while handling events from that attribute, without breaking the core logic.
  • AttributeEvent payload to that signal contains all of the information relevant to what change took place in an Attribute since the last event was emitted
• Efficiency focused
  • Attribute nodes with no active effects have processing disabled & thus are extremely lightweight.
  • The core loop for an Attribute with active effects has been optimized to the best of my ability & within GDScript's own limitations. The most expensive operations are adding & removing
