What is it?

EGamePlay is a combat and skill framework for Unity games. It models combat entities, abilities, skills, buffs and status effects as components, so gameplay logic can be composed and extended without hard-coding each skill.

Skills can be configured in two ways: through ScriptableObject assets edited with Odin Inspector tooling, or through Excel tables exported to JSON and config classes. A skill is defined as an ability config plus an execution object that controls the on-screen presentation, and is attached to a CombatEntity and cast through a SpellComponent.

Version 3.0 refactors the runtime code around the EcsNode framework, separating logic from data and business logic from view logic. The repository includes an RPG demo and a skill execution-link editor scene.
