Overview

WCGASSynergyChains is a Data Asset that defines synergy chain sequences in the Wonderscape Creations GAS Ally plugin. It allows designers to configure multi-step combo chains that trigger when players perform specific synergy sequences in order without writing any C++ code, making synergy chain design a fully designer-driven workflow. Each synergy chain is automatically registered at game startup and evaluated when synergies trigger.

Creating a Synergy Chains 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 > Status Effects > Synergy Chain System > Synergy Chain
4. Give your new asset a descriptive name (e.g., DA_SynergyChain_Fire, DA_SynergyChain_Combat, DA_SynergyChain_Ultimate)
5. Double-click the asset to open it and configure its properties

How Synergy Chains Work

Registration Flow

1. Project Settings Configuration
   • Navigate to: Edit → Project Settings → Plugins → WC GAS Ally → Synergy Chain System
   • Your Synergy Chain assets are added to the Synergy Chain Assets array
2. Automatic Registration at Game Startup
   • The status effect subsystem initializes when the Game Instance starts
   • Loads all Synergy Chain assets from Project Settings
   • Validates each entry (checks for duplicates, missing required fields)
   • Merges all assets into a unified registry
   • Creates lookup maps for fast access by synergy tag
3. Runtime Evaluation
   • When a synergy triggers, system checks if it can start a new chain
   • If a chain is active, system checks if the synergy advances the current step
   • Step timers enforce time windows between synergy triggers
   • Target requirements validate if the correct target was hit
   • Chain completes when all steps are finished, granting powerful rewards
