Overview

WCGASRaceSets is a Data Asset that groups related races under a single RaceGroupIdentifier tag in the Wonderscape Creations GAS Ally plugin. It serves as a container for race definitions, allowing designers to organize races into logical categories (e.g., Common, Exotic, Monster) without writing any C++ code. Each Race Set is registered at game startup via Project Settings and provides race lookup and validation functionality.

Creating a Race Sets 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 > Heritage System > Race Set
4. Give your new asset a descriptive name (e.g., DA_CommonRaces, DA_ExoticRaces, DA_MonsterRaces)
5. Double-click the asset to open it and configure its properties

How Race Sets Data Works

Registration Flow

1. Project Settings Configuration
   • Navigate to: Edit → Project Settings → Plugins → WC GAS Ally → Heritage System → Races
   • Your Race Sets Data assets are added to the Race Sets Assets array
2. Automatic Registration at Game Startup
   • The Heritage Subsystem initializes when the Game Instance starts
   • Loads all Race Sets Data assets from Project Settings
   • Validates each entry (checks for duplicate RaceGroupIdentifier tags, missing required fields)
   • Merges all Race Sets into a unified race registry
   • Creates lookup maps for fast access by RaceIdentifier tag
3. Runtime Access
   • Blueprint/C++ Code: Query race data via RaceIdentifier or RaceGroupIdentifier tags
   • Character Creation: Display available races with Icon, RaceName, and RaceColor
   • Heritage Component: Apply race bonuses during character initialization
   • Validation: Enforce race prerequisites and restrictions
