Overview

WCGASLevelingRulesData is a Data Asset that defines leveling progression systems for the Wonderscape Creations GAS Ally plugin. It allows designers to configure complete leveling experiences without writing any C++ code, making leveling system creation a fully designer-driven workflow. Each ruleset is reusable across multiple actors (e.g., "PlayerLevelingRules", "EnemyLevelingRules", "BossLevelingRules").

Creating a Leveling Rules Data 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 > Leveling > Leveling Rules Data
4. Give your new asset a descriptive name (e.g., DA_PlayerLevelingRules, DA_EnemyTypeA_Leveling, DA_BossLeveling)
5. Double-click the asset to open it and configure its properties

How Leveling Rules Work

Registration Flow

1. Leveling Rules Assignment
   • Assign a Leveling Rules Data asset to actors via the WCGASLevelingComponent
   • Multiple actors can share the same leveling rules
   • Each actor maintains its own progression state (current level, XP, spent points)
2. Runtime Initialization
   • When an actor spawns with a WCGASLevelingComponent:
     • Component loads the assigned Leveling Rules Data
     • Validates all configuration (XP curves, stat gains, point awards)
     • Initializes actor at Level 1 with default stats
     • Applies any Level 1 bonuses or point pools
3. Progression Handling
   • XP Gain: Call AwardXP() to add experience points
   • Level Up Detection: Component automatically detects when XP threshold is reached
   • Automatic Rewards:
     • Traditional RPG: Applies stat gains from StatGainsPerLevel or TemplateStatGains
     • Point Allocation: Awards points to specified pools
     • Souls-like: No automatic rewards (XP used as currency)
   • Event Broadcasting: Fires level-up events for UI/gameplay reactions
4. XP Curve Resolution
   • System determines XP requirements based on CurveType:
     • Formula: Calculates procedurally using FormulaType parameters
     • DataTable: Looks up XP requirements from XPCurveTable
     • CurveAsset: Evaluates XPCurveAsset at current level
     • CustomClass: Executes CustomXPFormula blueprint/C++ logic
