Overview

WCGASClassSets is a Data Asset that defines class set systems for the Wonderscape Creations GAS Ally plugin. It groups related class rules under a single ClassGroupIdentifier tag, enabling flexible multi-class and cross-group combining systems without writing any C++ code, making class system creation a fully designer-driven workflow. Each ClassSets asset is reusable and can organize classes by theme, archetype, or game system (e.g., "MartialClasses", "MagicClasses", "CraftingProfessions").

Creating a Class Sets Asset

Using the Wonderscape GAS Ally Menu

1. Open the Content Browser
2. Right-click in any folder where you want to create the asset
3. Navigate to: Wonderscape GAS Ally > Heritage > Class Set
4. Give your new asset a descriptive name (e.g., DA_MartialClasses, DA_MagicClasses, DA_HybridClasses)
5. Double-click the asset to open it and configure its properties

How Class Sets Works

Class System Architecture

1. Class Group Organization

   • Create multiple ClassSets assets to organize classes by theme or system
   • Each ClassSets has a unique ClassGroupIdentifier tag (e.g., Character.ClassGroup.Martial)
   • Within each group, add individual class data entries (Warrior, Rogue, Ranger, etc.)
   • Each class data entry defines stat gain logic for its specific class

2. Multi-Class Actor Setup

   • Actors have array of ActorClassTags (e.g., ["Character.Class.Warrior", "Character.Class.Mage"])
   • Tags can span multiple ClassSets groups (hybrid/multi-class characters)
   • System automatically finds all matching class rules across all groups
   • Calls CalculateStatGains() on each matching rule when actor levels up

3. Combining Flow (Two-Phase)

   Phase 1 - Within-Group Combining:

   • Classes from the same ClassSets group combine first
   • Uses the group's StatGainCombineMode (Additive, Maximum, WeightedAverage, Priority)
   • Example: Actor has [Warrior, Rogue] (both in "Martial" group)
     • Warrior: +3 STR, +1 CON
     • Rogue: +1 STR, +3 DEX
     • Combined (Additive): +4 STR, +3 DEX, +1 CON

   Phase 2 - Cross-Group Combining:

   • Results from each group combine using WCGASAllySettings.CrossGroupCombineRules
   • Example: Actor also has [Mage] (in "Magic" group)
     • Martial result: +4 STR, +3 DEX, +1 CON
     • Magic result: +5 INT, +2 WIS
     • Final result depends on cross-group rules configuration

4. System Integration

   • ClassSets assets are referenced in WCGASAllySettings.ClassSets array
   • When actor levels up, heritage subsystem:
     • Queries all ClassSets assets for matching class data
     • Executes each rule's CalculateStatGains() logic
     • Combines results using within-group modes
     • Applies cross-group combining rules
     • Applies final stat gains to actor's Ability System Component
