Create a StatsComponent​

  • Create a StatsComponent. #
  • Call LoadDefaultValues() on the StatsComponent. #
  • Add the StatsComponent to your Actor.

Create Stats​

Create your Stats from the Complex Stat and Progress Stat classes and fill their infos. #

Value Sets Manager​

When creating a Complex Stat, you'll also need to provide a Value Sets Manager. Either use the one provided by default (VSM_Default), or create your own. #

Create the Default Values​

  • Create a Data Table from any SDV structure. #
  • Set it as the Default Values Table in your Project Settings (Edit->Project Settings->Game->Default Values Settings). #
  • Fill the Data Table with your Stats and Values.
  • Use the RowName in the StatsComponent's LoadDefaultValues() function to load a specific row. #

Using SDV_Advanced​

If you're using SDV_Advanced with Value Progressions, also create a Level Stat with a Rounding Method and use it in the LoadDefaultValues() function of your StatsComponent. #

Display your values​

Create a widget and add it to the viewport. #
